Awesome! I would really like to get one of those wreaths for my folks- they live on the Chesapeake Bay and Dad is spending his retirement fishing whenever the weather permits (of course, he’s fished his whole life since we lived a 1/4 mile from the Long Island Sound).... Striped bass (rock fish out there) is his main prey.... And those “fish sticks” would go great in my avid flower gardening mom’s many flower beds... Thanks for sharing more of your work metalcuttr
Hi Eric, thanks for the comments. I will have to issue a rain check for now. This year has been a catch up year for work around the house and I still have lots to do. On top of that I have a lot of local stuff I need to cut. I will start putting a bunch of fish and butterflies and such into the scrap again so I have a supply for later. I'll draw up a striper file and add that too. Maybe we can get together then.
Saw a picture of Yosemite Sam some where recently and it got me thinking. Maybe remove the pistols and add chain saws then put a sign under him and add something wood related to the sign. I pulled bits and pieces of several old files together, cut, snipped, linked and came up with this for the shop wall. Hope y'all get a grin out of it.
I am adding a pic of the custom sign metalcuttr made for me, that I received at walt's October gtg. I put a very light coat of dark wax on the metal, probably imperceptible to anyone but the maker! Screwed to an chunk of old barnboard, it hangs in the living room, where I can always admire it. Thank you again metalcuttr, it will be something my children and grandchildren can tell me stories about, when I am old and senile.
Very nice. Love the barnboard and I am glad you like it! As industrious as you are, you certainly deserve an ward!
Here are a couple more of old Sammy. walt was presented one at his gtg in October and Armbru84 won one as a door prize.
Thanks for posting those Dennis! Everyone looks happy. Am I the only one that notices the resemblance between the plaques and the recipients?
Is that you and Mrs. metalcuttr ? Nice to put a face to the name Russ. For all FHC folks to see here are two plaques he made for me.
