Thread: Playing in the shed - Todays Results

Thanks Tony.

The background is a little "busy".
Not sure I can change the DOF in the little P&S I have. Funny thing is my Iphone has a better resolution than the digital I have....shows it's age.

Nice Work though.

Well Here is two from the weekend.

Both Bolt Actions, one in Black Enamel & Jack Daniels Oak and the other a Gun Metal and Sandalwood.

I have a lot more time to play in the shed now as they accepted my resignation I put submitted in November.
Some time off for this little black duck, maybe a week or two then the job hunting starts in earnest.


Cheers

Not just today's playing in the shed, just the past few weeks.

Wont be trying it this way again. Must get a pressure pot setup so I can cast in the future.

Results are mixed. Some really nice ones and some I think are so-so but other people I have shown them too are like you are being too Fing picky.

Cheers

Shawn

Nicely done mate ;-)

Well currently we have a well know film star, Ewan McGregor in town filming for a new film, Son of a Gun.

So I decided to chance it and made these two pens and dropped them off to the film crew hoping these may end up in his hands. She did look honest...and cute

P1010056.jpg I used the Violin Pen Case for this. Timber is local Sandalwood.

P1010055.jpg This one I did as a gift for his wife.

Fingers crossed he gets them.

Nicely done ;-)
