Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside BILLYBOB
Yesterday I splurged out on an early Christmas prezzie for Nicola. She is always so good at bargain hunting and spending pennies, not pounds, so when she mentioned that she really wanted a Radley Messenger bag, but could not justify it, I told her to just get the bag...... she still searched the web, Ebay etc to find the best price.
[img src="http://www.radleycollector.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/radley-signature-away-day1.jpg" alt=" "] [img src="http://icemaidencakes.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Radley-Bag-Cake-Detail.jpg" alt=" "] In the end we went to Blue Water, to the Radley shop and got her a different over the shoulder bag to what she had planned, but it does not come with the Radley dog tassle (Your girls, wives n women will know) so I decided that I would make her one in wood. One very happy woman. ![]() Started by Googling the shape of the dog and drawing one on paper...... then cutting it out with scissors. Next up, found some wood, cut a sliver off it. ![]() Followed by copying the design onto the wood. ![]() Then onto the bandsaw, and again I realized, wood is unforgiving, with metal you can weld in some metal, with wood, if it is gone, then its gone. Cut out the shape. ![]() One dog cut out..... next up, hand sand and shaping. ![]() ![]() Lastly a leash and collar made up from an old neclace out of my spares box. ![]() I guess the most important thing to mention is that Nicola called me a "Clever Bear" Looking forward to winter kicking in so that I can start working the wood again.
