Thought I would post some of what’s be going on as of late in the old shoppe! I don’t get a lot of time these days, sounds crazy I know, but when you’re retired time just flys away!

Right now I just been playin around with some ideas! A 3D Chief Pontiac piece! Long way to go, but I thought some might be interested!

 

This was just a first what if, but soon I changed this concept and plan on removing the center aluminum section of the head!

Always wondering what the magician is up to now.

Same !!!!!, Last Indian, are you doing that free hand or is the vise justA for presentation ???

That is seriously excellent craftsmanship, well done. I've got one year & 4 months before I can apparently retire - those are self imposed dates so as to reach certain fiscal targets before I let go of my income stream. But, I gotta say with each passing week an expense pops up and a little bolt of fear shoots down my spine that reminds me how lucky I am to still be working.

Anyway, your handiwork reeks of perfection. 👍

Well Fitzy that pretty much sums up how most folks feel going into retirement! It’s the great unknown! No matter how much you plan that nagging question, will it be enough is always there! And at least in the US a lot of that is due to the government! Every time we turn around they more often then not change the tax  laws, among other things that hurts the little guy in the wallet. So in my case I over planed the best I could! Saved more than I thought I would ever need! Guess what? I’m going into my 6th year of retirement and I’ve yet to touch a dime of my investments! So you should be fine my friend!

Some is mill work, but there is a lot of hand work as well! The pictures in the vise were because I was doing hand work at that time!

So there was a quick change to an open assembly with a solid, one piece head! Both of these units I will finish, but again it JustA didn’t grab me so I have gone to a third idea! This one is a little more 3D I think! Of which I will post some pictures of soon!

Last Indian is such a mad genius when it comes to this stuff. When he sent me some of his creations, it was like opening a brand new Christmas present. He does such great work!

His welding slag is art..

Ok! So #3 is a little more 3D, a little bolder? Maybe?! But all have quite away to go!

 

THIS is VERY TEDIOUS! My fingers hurt 😓

 

Mean as mate 👍

Amazing!

I've said it before, I'll say it again. The man is a mad genius!

My wife might disagree with that! 🙃 She knows me too well, damn it! 😁

Few hours on Saturday to fiddle!

I've either offended (hope not) or the fat Indian refuses to sing.

The Fat Indian refuses to sing! Because I can’t in good conscience do that to the poor dogs in the area! Also I can’t afford to replace that many mirrors!😳

  Fat Indian is the hood ornament.  

So Last Indian can tuna fish but he can’t tuna piano? Even though they both have scales? Pity. The man has so many other mad skills.

I would not have been surprised to see him animate the Chiefs head using the app that changes your face or something.  All wAAAy over my head.

Feel free to make it happen.  We are all waiting N watching now.   How you get Last Indian to sing is a whole nother matter.
