Mr. Fixit/Woodworker WIP Pictures
« on: June 06, 2011, 05:12:48 pm »
This is all I had time for today. We have to get ready to leave first thing in the morning to go up to our place, Lake Arrowhead, CA.

The pattern shows the wood I plan to use, as of now. This may change as well as the pattern as I go.

Hi Al. I have a question for you. Do you have, or know where I can get and intarsia plan for a 50's pickup truck?

Hi Crusty59, I don't have a 50's pickup pattern, but I think Mike @  wdkits2@comcast.net   has posted pictures of a vintage truck, with WIP pictures. He might have a pattern for sale, You'd have to contact him.

The only truck pattern i have is a 34 Ford pickup, and I haven't had a chance to make the Intarsia from it yet.

Thanks Al, I love the older trucks, but someone asked me for the 50's. I've been searching and found a 53 ford pickup. It's a really nice intarsia piece. But I will contact Mike to see what we can do. Thanks again

We enjoyed the short time we had in the mountains, got a few things done that needed to be taken care of and now it?s back to the more fun stuff.

I was able to complete Mr. Fixit?s shirt, part of his belt and right arm, after going back and using a ?? shim to raise the arm a little higher to make room to add the pencil, as shown in the pattern.  It may be cheating, but I?ll use a real pencil instead of making one, seeing as this Intarsia will be for my use.

I still have his left arm to cut and sand and then I?ll work of his pants.  So far I?m satisfied with the way he?s turning out.

He sure is cute and loveable, makes you want to tweek his cheeks!
AND you have others of him to do, what a great idea.
I'm not usually into tweeking cheeks either!

I finished the man.  While sanding the pants I didn't see one of the pieces fall out and after I noticed it, it took me quite a while to find it.  The Piece had fallen behind one of the legs under the workbench; It had been cut on a slant so it would have been hard to replace without re-cutting half of the pants and shaping it all over again.

Tomorrow, if I get time, I'll start to Saw and Stand.

I love these things.  I've tried to do some myself, but just haven't got the knack of it yet.  Seeing the projects come together a little at time helps a lot.  Thanks!
