Nice! Man, been tempted to go into that trade although with the hurdles were likely facing soon I'd like a more stable industry. Have a interview at a local car dealership (flagship brand) coming up wed. And even though that will pay well. I'd still rather be in a even more stable job (like Tesla tech.) Gotta thinknlong term.


But that IS sweet I am kinda jealous.. Good work.

Been making jewelry since I was 12. That and farming is all I know. But like so many farm boys I left the farm.

Not to derail the thread but I will just say I'm a former medical instrument tech which is loosely related. Fine detail type job. We work a lot with little jewelers torches and silver soldering hammering forming polishing etc.
So shout out!

A shameless plug for my Navy-brat son, David. He makes awesome custom order axes, mauls, bats and more! https://northwoodscarving.com/ PM me if you'd like something.

Here's some examples:

Mine's hardly on par with the craftsmanship you guys and gals exhibit, but I enjoy teaching myself how to weld and make stuff out of steel bedframes that I snag for free. Hence, my new kayak racks. The newly graveled area (under a waterproof aluminum deck) used to be a long weed-covered slope. Now it's cut and 'terraced' into four level 10x10' tiers. Far more useful.

I make little pieces of wood out of big pieces of wood.

I could only upload 5 pictures, but there's lots more.

Just finished up my new pantry sliding doors. Now I need a new top trip to match.

In the two middle pics, is that ironwood? Lignum vitae, or some such?

Actually, it was a little bowl I made using epoxy and Ponderosa Pine branch burls. Pretty much the same, sap-filled ones out in your back yard. I like them because they are plentiful (free really) and if you prep them correctly, they can make some really pretty pieces.

Nice work! Love it!

 

[pirateer2007]

Here's a couple more I've made over the last few months.

 

[pirateer2007]

Thanks by the way!

Nice talent! Beautiful work!

Thank you! I just make them for family and friends. They make for good inexpensive gifts as I only use free wood from around my community. Today I got a 200lb Elm log. That, along with about 20 Paper Birch logs and a nice, big chunk of Plum will keep me busy for a while.
