An Evening In My Shop

2832 Views 15 Replies 12 Participants Last post by  DesertRatTom
So I made my way into the shop to work on an old schoolmates addition to his sign I made for him a few years back; three bones, each for his other dogs. While the letters were drying, I started a palette project Ken's been wanting. It's almost time to bring in the flag for the season, and Ken wants one for the fall. This is what we agreed on. Still working on the last pumpkin and I need to work on the green one, but almost done.

Not changing, Rick, just completing to Ken's satisfaction, compared to the picture I got the inspiration from.

Yes, Linus (and the gang) will not be making an appearance, Stick. Got it done, Ken sprayed it, and it's now in the front yard. (Picture is before he sprayed it and put it where the flag was.) He says he wants to get a couple corn stalk bunches and put behind it.

Trust me, Herb, I'm right there with you. My mood has been foul since Ken told me our temperature forecast. NOT a Happy Camper! I have to bring in the television off the deck!

Very nice, Barb. The highlights on the pumpkins make them pop right out, like 3D.

I love it! Nicely done. Corn stacks? Pretty busy background for something meant to be seen from a distance. But peace in the homestead often means compromise.

Did you get your lathe yet? I'm looking forward to seeing what you create with that thing. Did you also order cutting tools for it?

Corn Stalks, Tom, a couple bunches to put behind the palette.

No lathe yet. I've had a real nice set of cutters that we got years ago, either out of a motor home or an abandoned storage unit. The guy was a woodworker; had some unique wood plaques all shellacked and ready for clock motors and numbers in there, too. They've been sitting there patiently waiting for me to get the lathe and play, but...

And after seeing that 2nd Amendment sign... IDK I'm thinking I didn't get my shop made big enough!
