Fixture for clock mainsprings…….
update on Barn 2 in progress.
Latest Project. Not sure where I wanna go from here. The tool marks will remain. I “may” cold blue the top area to darken up the “rough” texture. Hell I dont know.
Ok. This one may seem a little weird. In the testing mode right now. Last week found a couple of snakeskins in my cabin’s garage. I suspect they are Pygmy rattlesnakes as they are quite common there. I have caught snakes at home in my chicken coop by putting some garden netting over the nest box entry. The snake gets caught in the netting and can’t get free. So using an egg as bait thought I’d try this.

Made some progress today. I cast and shaped the brass hand guard. Even got started on the handle.
A 40 lb box of skipping stones so I can laser things on them. I've done one.

I'm recovering from my 5th or 6th hernia surgery. I've lost count. I decided to do some projects to help prevent the next hernia. I saw a picture of a floor jack converted to lift the tires/wheels while changing tires. So, I built one for myself and a good friend that has back problems. My next project was a pickup bed hoist that I picked up cheap on Marketplace and bolted to my steel work bench. Besides being a heavy bench, it is bolted to the studs in the wall to prevent a turnover. I found a cheap 1100 lb. electric hoist online that I added to it. I bought some extra hitch pins to act as wire guides if I need to extend the boom out any. I don't need the jacks for these Fiats we have but, the tires on our two Land Rovers are pretty heavy.
My final first project for barn number 1!
Barn number 2 final! Now I need to find a frame for it.
My new project, an old wagon. I was going through my sketches and found this.
My sketch made in 1996 was my inspiration. So far, this one has been tougher than the barns.
I have to think about foreshortening and perspective constantly.
I'm using paper mache' for the landscaping.
I did find a frame for this one at Goodwill
