Turtle Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Posted December 29, 2007 Very pretty! :eek_big: The paintings remind me of cellular transport graphics whilst studying Biology. :evil: :hihi: :) Thanks. :) Pretty is just what I was going for with this gift. :xmas_gift:Transporting the topic to the design graphics, I want to clarify that there is no paint on this ornament. The background & foreground designs are cut & applied colored tissue papers using brush-applied Mod Podge for glue & finish. :eek: Quote

Turtle Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Posted December 29, 2007 Dam it :evil:Can't we leave well enough alone? ;) :) :eek: :eek_big: No; we damn well can't leave well enough alone when we tread a path of woodwork learning. Whether I fail to recognize a rhetorical question when one is put to me and so answer it in excrutiating detail notwithstanding :), the attention to details is important to instructional/technical directions. Now if... oh... never mind. ;) :hihi: freeztar 1 Quote
Turtle Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Posted January 2, 2008 Years ago I put many of my woodworking hand-tools into storage, but finding the opportunity New Years Day, I visited the chest to have a see. To my chagrin, I found on the opening that many of the tools started rusting. :friday: I brought home a batch to clean up, and though I have laid off the trade until recently here, I may as well make use of them. To make this a little fun, I will put up photos of the parts of one tool in particular and see if you, dear Readers, can guess what the tool is. In that spirit, here in no particular order, is part #01. Happy New Year and may your tools stay sharp and your fingers whole. :cup: :) Quote
DougF Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 it almost looks like a "wooden barrel makers plane" :) Quote
Turtle Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Posted January 3, 2008 it alsost looks like a "wooden barrel makers plane" :friday: :D Not a bad guess...but no. :( :cup: The piece pictured is just one part of several/many parts of a single tool. Here find pictured 2 more of the parts of the mystery tool. :) :cup: Once I get it cleaned up and revealed, I'll make some films demonstrating its use. Quote

InfiniteNow Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 Not sure why, but that pic you attacked in post #77 reminds me of my WWII French pistol. Hopefully your next video will be more exciting than watching my paint dry. :shrug: :hyper: :shade: Quote

After doing a little research today, I believe mine was made ~1914, but I don't recall when I got it. Here's another part to help y'all narrow it down. ;) Quote
