When time permits do you ever do a project just for yourself????I have been busting my ars lately just in case I will have to have surgery coming up. Still don't know yet.
Anyways, I decided to do a project just for me, try some new things, experiment, yada, yada,yada.
I came up with an imaginary theme cafe, called, "The Radio Cafe". I started the design process and came up with one I was happy with. I wish I would have done a step-by-step, but didn't have the camara when I started production.
I am about half way done with it now. The main goal was to only use what I had in my shop, not go buy anything or use a panel I could sell on a job. I statred with a 1/2"x 2'x4' piece of MDO for the main panel. This piece was scratched real bad on one side.
I also incorporated some HDU in it as I laminated and carved an "old time" radio microphone. The word radio is raised off the main panel and is PVC that I cut and carved to shpe and then used various airbrush tech. on.
There is another panel that has the word "Cafe" on it and there is some ornimates also on the sign.
I hope to have it finished soon and will post a pic of the final product.
One Note, I have used HDU very little, but I think I am addicted to it now, GAWD it carves like a dream!!!! I love it!!!
Anyone else go off on a project for yourself??????
