REMINISCENT OF THE ED ROTH STYLE NAZI SURFER DUDE. HELMET IS FINISHED AND DMITRY DID A SUPERB JOB. DANNY, DMITRY & I ALL DECIDED TO DO THE HEAD OUT OF GABON EBONY. STAY TOONED FOR DAILY UPDATES..................
STARTED CARVING ON ANOTHER ALLOY PISTON... STAY TUNED...WELL, IT'S ALL FINISHED. HOPE Y'ALL LIKE.
THIS WAS A TOUGH CARVE. MATCHING METAL AND WOOD IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT. THE DRAWING, SINCE IT WAS JUST A PROFILE VIEW, PROVIDED BY THE CUSTOMER, LEFT A LOT OF INTERPRETATION ON OUR PART ON HOW IT WOULD LOOK IN 3D.
DMITRY AND I DISCUSSED, AND ATTEMPTED, THE CASTING OF SOME PEWTER "PISTOFF" KEYCHAINS, LAST YEAR, AND THE RESULT WAS LESS THAN.........WELL, LET'S SAY "SATISFACTORY". THEY WERE GOOD BUT, I THINK, THESE ARE BETTER. NOT SURE IF WE WILL SELL THEM, AS OF YET, BUT MAYBE JUST GIVE ONE AWAY WITH EVERY "PISTOFF" SHIFT KNOB. TO BE CONTINUED.....................
OKAY, YOU OLD FORD GUYS KNOW WHAT THE CENTER BUMPER CLAMP LOOKS LIKE ON A 28/29 MODEL "A", KINDA COOL WITH THE "FORD" SCRIPT. WELL, I THOUGHT IT WOULD LOOK GOOD AS A SHIFT KNOB, SO WE ARE GOING TO MAKE A COUPLE. PLANNING IT OUT NOW AND SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING IN A FEW WEEKS................. just waiting to install the bumper clamp. Need a little more drying time.
