Basswood hollowform - hairy - 05-26-2015
If someone gave painting lessons, I'' go. That was tough for me.
I planned to hollow this out through a 1" hole, then I realized it would be useless. All I really had to change is the size of the tenon holding the top on,and the size of the hole in the body and now it's a box instead of a bottle.
12" tall x 4" round basswood, acrylics and rattle can poly.

You will have to send me everything on how to make it. My grandson love to watch them on his DVD. I hope I can make one for Christmas.

This piece is hollowed out.
" /> I drew the overalls onto the body, and burned the lines in good with a woodburner. That makes it easier to make the overalls in relief.
" /> I drew an arm onto a blank, cut it out on a B/S, taped it back together then cut it into 2 pieces.
" /> What was a tenon to hold it in the chuck, is going to become legs and feet. Handsaw down the middle to make 2 legs, carve away.
" /> Make a hard hat, the top for the box. Turn it to a snug fit in the body.
" /> 
" /> 
" /> Cut it to shape on a B/S.
" /> 
" /> 
" /> Glue on the arms, the goggle is separate pieces, cut and sanded to shape, glued on individually. The strap is veneer. It has an eye piece.

I turned a base from 2" maple, drilled holes through the base and into the legs, 2 and 3/4 " wood screws to hold it together.
Paint the eye before gluing on the eyepiece, it just looks better with a lens than without. Paint it, spray poly, and bolt it together. It'll be a birthday present.
I could not have done it without this carving vise, from Trent Bosch. It holds the work right where I want it for drawing, carving, and burning. This is a great tool.

One of those kids movies that you can actually sit down and watch yourself.

Nice tutorial hairy. That holder from Trent has been on my must have list for some time. Thanks for sharing.
