Thread: My Wood Chopper

That looks GREAT! Love the detail. Heap of sanding there, after everything else.

the axe, I must ask, how long did it take to accomplish this?

The latest pics look unreal. (Or is that real?)
I'm still having trouble getting my head around some of the detail work.

Edit: I also didn't realise that Word could convert to PDF. Handy. Thanks.

I used PDF Creator, which sets up a pdf printer. Then print from Word to the new printer, and away you go.

I thought you must have used Word, so had a look and found that Word (2010) does directly convert docx to pdf. No need for PDF Creator etc in between.

Thanks Hermit for fixing my error as you can tell I,m new to this technical stuff. I have now almost finished the project and will post final photos and info when done. If anyone is going to the Canberra Wood show 31st Aug-2Sept I will be on the Trend Timber stand so please come up and say gidday.
Thanks to all for your comments.

The axe

Actually it was Chris that did the fixing. I just found an alternative way.

I'm going to try to make an effort to get to the Canberra Wood Show. I'll see what happens.

Awesome bike mate!! I particularly like the rear tyre, but the whole bike shows great craftsmanship! I would be parking that beauty in the living room for sure

OMG what an amazing talent you have, that is incredible.

sharing latest pics taken by a mate that knows hoe to use his camera. Bike is finished,all temporary screws replaced with dowels. height 1.25m length 2.6m,660 pieces (inc 408 in chain), just over 300 hours work.best part is it looks like i hoped it would, or should i say wood.

Far out. Too good for words.
Bloody great job. And all that in 300 hours!
(I thought it was smaller, a scale model. Didn't realise the scale is about 1:1.)

axe: you are going to make some toes curl up with delight. Gallery grade work.

That is excellent, great attention to detail!

Wow - outstanding stuff !

Incredible intricate workmanship Axe,it is credit to you and for time well spent in a dedicated task.

Cheers
