Members chancey77 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Members Report Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) NEVER CLEAN (says the guy that's in the process of cleaning his own shop). It's looking better and better every time. I'm just highly anticipating everything you're going to do to tie them all together. Now, imagine if you had to hammer out all those bevels..... NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS! hahahahaha I clean the work space almost every day just to organize, but sometimes it needs some serious attention when you are as busy as <I have been the last few weeks, total where is that OMG OK I HAVE TO CLEAN::::4hrs later, now I can't find my good old strop, and worried it is gone ...oh well I will just make another one:) it is probably # 500 and something anyway:) hahahah as far as to tie all together I just need to look at my arms....€,$¢ C cleffs question marks, whiskey dots and stars of all kinds and lots more artwork.....MUU-HAA(evil laugh). Man, carving pinstripes is HARD!!!!!!!!! Especially with a gimp S.K.... The Picture looks small on your computer but it is 20"L x 9" tall.....So it is quite a big piece...then there will be more pinstripes around it, but the pinstripe artist wanted to wait until I was done with all the other pictures to design more pinstripes...

Members Cyberthrasher Posted March 1, 2012 Members Report Posted March 1, 2012 but sometimes it needs some serious attention when you are as busy as <I have been the last few weeks, total where is that OMG OK I HAVE TO CLEAN Yeah, that's what caused my cleaning fit. During my last guitar build, everything just got put wherever it was most convenient so I wouldn't disturb the soft nitro lacquer. Now I can see what my bench is made out of, so there's some progress. I look at the pinstripes as a PITA version of celtic work. Gotta figure out which line is crossing over which, but it's not a thick line so it's really hard to picture. Yeah, definitely need to chill and grab a beer after that one.

OK so 1 more small addition before I hit the sack! The Razor knife will get a LOT more attention and possible pinstripes / fancy knife filigree, but figured it is something I can bust out fast so I don't have to look at so much empty spaces for the time being until 2mo when I can hit it again. I just want to get everything ruffed in and then worry about the tedious details later. Well it is 3 am and I have to be up in hrs.....good night all! Quote

You know, with the shortage of hours I'm feeling in the day lately, I just might start doing the same pretty soon. Sucks having a full time career outside of the other stuff you need to get done. I'm off for some of that beauty sleep now. I'll see if you were able to keep away from the door panel when I head to work in the morning :zzz: Quote hellhoundkustoms.wordpress.com www.facebook.com/hellhoundkustoms www.etsy.com/shop/HellhoundKustoms
Members DoubleC Posted March 1, 2012 Members Report Posted March 1, 2012 Got in my leather order today for the 1951 Ford Pick up project. I thought I would start by making a couple miniature size ones so we can get an idea of where we are heading. These are the size of my hand right now but will be 37" x 37" or 90cm x 90cm for all my metric user buddies out there:) Obviously I am going to have so much more room for a lot of detail, but these little mock ups are just to cool not to share! I can't wait to dive into these this weekend...I am thinking about 200hrs each before they are done.... Again these are just spit ball ideas for the panels now:) IT IS A RAT ROD 51...The owner has done a lot to the bottom side and now ready for the road, but the interior is going to be sick! We are starting with the door panels and will do the seat and rear upholstery and headliner. But first things first...Door Panels:) So enjoy! Please don't move this, I'll never find you again, LOLOL Quote http://www.etsy.com/shop/DoubleCCowgirl
