Thread: Is this woodwork?

Sure it is.

Not sure if you would call it woodworking or maybe modelling, but it sure is talented work.

Wood sculpture so it is woodwork.
Good to see woodwork outside the square
Nice job BM

First you gotta plug it in and mabye it wood work but proberly not

The trouble with life is there's no background music.

Match sticks are made out of wood, so I'll call it Wood working / Craft

Should've brang that one out on "talk like a pirate day"!

Dunno Biting,

It looks nothing like an Adams

For sale: Careel Sailer. Fully sealed but only good for light winds and glassy seas.

who cares, looks pretty cool to me

seen some people do similar things with scrollsawn items, tried myself but couldnt work out how to get the lightbulb apart safely

Brett,

I suppose it's no trade secret; you need two bulbs.

Break one and rescue the copper bits, this takes a bit of patience and you may have to make a tool or two, but a small riffling file will do it, get all the clay and glue gunk out.

With the other one, carefully cut the copper about 6mm above the glass and remove all above that line, I then use pliers to nibble away the glass back to the copper line. (Did I say you need two bulbs? You may need a few spares!)

When all's hunky dory, remove the last of the copper and glue, then build your thing inside before gluing the two bits back together again.

It's not too hard, but does require a certain degree of patience if you don't want to get a lot of practice sweeping up broken glass.

Cheers,

Just buy a cheap one. The glass separates from the base easily. Usually when you're trying to remove a blown one....

Bright idea, Midge. I'm sure it gave your friends a warm inner glow when you gave it to them. Watt's your current project?

Well it amp-powered me to work happily on the darkside. I think I'll generate a few ideas over the next month or two. Perhaps I'll switch to something less illuminating!

You actually turned the matchsticks!
