It's all Al's fault!!..

O.K. as promised a few months back and lack of time to post here due to a new direction in a hobby that I intend to intergrate into my woodwork, here is my first major work after 4 simple sun-catchers. It is entered into the Campbelltown Fishers Ghost Festival, much to my reluctance. But thanks again to the post's by Al (Ozwinner) I am enjoying this greatly. This is the form of lead-lighting called "Foiling", as used to make the Tiffany lamp shade's, as of next week I will be learning to do the older style and more traditional lead-light with the heavier lead. My first job will be the side light on the front door as I replaced the door last year with a nice lead-light.

Well here it is, I have called it "Tall Ship", I hope you like it and I also hope the picture turns out.

He don't hang out here any more, but I will point him to this thread to let him know he started something

By the way, cool ship, good luck with the judges (where's the fingers crossed smilie)

Improving Eric slowly to damn slowly leg has healed but ankle is another matter. No its warmer I hope t get out to the gym again so might call in if its still ok.

What have you done to be getting physio 4 days a week.??

Hey Ray,
Sure, pop in when you can. I have an old back injury and it is just getting worse over time, but the insurance co reckon I can just go out and get a job, (would love to) but in reality that's not how the world works. Hence the woodwork and lead-lighting. I hope to sell a few pieces now and then, I'll tell you all about it when we meet, you'll get a laugh.

I know where you're coming from. I ended up having a back op, but it'll never be as good as it used to be.

It's a pity that we never grow any younger.

Looks great Savage, have you gotten the cutting down pat or do you grind to shape?

Well it is a case of cutting as close as possible andgrozing the edges, then with a final grind to fit. Sounds like a quick thing to do but sometimes one piece can take a few hours to get it just right.

Well, tonight was the judging of the arts and crafts in the Fishers Ghost Festival and guess what, I took out 1st place in the lead lighting section, all unexpected and a little embarrassing.

[Wood Butcher]

Well Done! Don't be embarrased, it is a fine piece of craftsmanship!

[DJ’s Timber]

well deserved if you ask me
