Basswood hollowform
#11
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.

Just ask if you need to. " />
