Hi everybody ,,,,,I want some new ideas for other tools   (see my pictures  above) I send you photos from other project Notre Dame of Paris  and a stained glass window Notre Dame de la belle verrièere.    Tanks

I'm not allowed to show pictures of my workspace, as I am currently a fugitive from StERILE (the Society for the Enactment of Regulations for Immaculate Leisure Environs).

Welcome to MSW. Your work is exquisite.

Spectacular work on your Notre Dame! We need a build log on that one, please!

 

Like many, I'm embarrassed to "show my tools." (Of any kind.  ) Because of the virus lock down and the resulting closure of all the storage rental places. I took pity on a friend that was stuck in the middle of a move and allowed him to stuff all his boxes and furniture in my shop. That was when I thought the "lock down" was only going to be for two or three weeks! My workshop isn't a pretty sight at the moment.

You're model is a thing of beauty.  The detail is amazing.

 

There is already a topic for our workshops here:   Just trying to help so can see where others are generating sawdust.

Hello Agamemnon9, could you explain how you make those wonderful carvings?

And if you consider new tools, how about a small CNC router or 3D printer and a good 3D design program?

I have bought quite a few power tools in recent years , most already mentioned, but I would suggest the my belt sander is used almost daily. When used c arefully, it saves a huge amount of time

Hello Moxis .... Firstly I don't like 3D very much, I like to draw my plans by myself, I have a better connection, it's also emotional ... The only time I used a big printer in a specialized printing house it is for my ground level plan, for the rest I use photos in books or on the internet and also videos ..... For the carvings I use Dremel a lot ..     To make columns I use my proxxon leathe ...   Sometimes I make my own tools, for example when I want to sand the inside of my four leaf clover, I take a round wooden stick and I glue  my paper sand on it . After having drawn a piece I always wonder how to do it, I look for a way, sometimes it work sometimes  not but I always find a solution.       Thank you Moxis     ..have a nice day

Hi Y.T.       This pieces are made by sections  ,  each section are made individualy...To make this  I take a plain piece of wood of aproximatively 10 mm x 10 mm...after that I drill two holes and  I put 3 leaves in each holes,,,now for carving the leaves  in  '' Y '' shape above ,I use dremel cutting disk...If you watch carefully no one are identical to other ...Oh I forgot to tell you  that each  piece was drawn on top.         tank  ,    I hope  that this answered your question.

Hi Y.T.     I want to know something about your mini disc sander... what is the  RPM and what kind of sand paper you use   i.e. 120 grain,220 etc...    and what is this tool with the orange color handle,is it for  curving wood while heating it ?           This mini disc sander is a very good idea for my project...Tanks a lot🙂

Sorry ccoyle, I re-read this a few times and meaning of combination of these words avoids me despite I know meaning of each individual one. Could you elaborate on this?

Sterile = scrupulously clean. My work area is the opposite of scrupulously clean, i.e. "functionally messy." 😉

Doesn't that translate out to "keep it clean or the Admiral will have your head"?
