Thread: the old farm sheds (WIP.)

Looking good CD.!!! The graphite is doing its job well!!

Very bright and very bad oblique/side lighting helps me a lot. Try a LED flashlight from the side.
I'm running a pair of 18W LED monsters as bright each as 150W incandescent.
Sort of a 120 degree focus, too. 'Way over to the side, I can figure out what's
"up" and what's "down." Very expensive, as in $45 each, but they do cut the gloom of a
short, snowy winter day.

as you can see I have progressed a little more, think I may have doubled up on a pic. or two. I've swaped and changed things a bit as I've gone along, shifted the tractorto the other shed then made it into a house, then got rid of it and put a truck in the shed . not having much luck with the lighting for the photos, some are too light and others are too dark , looks a bit like a winters day in one of those old english black and white movies,but it dose look better in the flesh so to speakCD.

Looking good so far

Looking real good! Going to be a great carving. Keep going and posting progress.

buggared up the border went off line when I was doing the scolloping with the chisel, got the router out,. had stop in the wrong place and took a little nipple out of one side, have to try again you wouldn't belive it but I done the same thing on the top!!!, SO I got the plane out and planed the border down evenly all way round so now the carving stands proud of the back with a single line all the way around, I"m happy with the way it has turned out, with all the changes that I've made alone the way.

I enjoyed following this work in progress. Thank you for posting.
