Magster that is too Kool, you better get a patent on that... <br />All Thumbs that is so neat that you can carve that good.. Looking at the knomes, I thought they were kids.. I had to really take a better look..<br /><br />Here is my "MeMe Mouse"..<br />I was able to steel it back from mom.. I just wonder how long it will take her to realize its missing..<br /><br />

<br /><br />As you can see it looks old, but I had used a varnish and I set it out on the rocks to dry. The wind came up and knocked it over into the groundbark, so I was upset using acid tone to try to get it off. I gave up and just let it sit and forgot about it.. About 2 days go by and I saw that what had happened make the mouse look neat..

Thanks Snapper. It was a labor of love. Lotsa people want me to build them one but it takes a while at my pace. Nice 6/12. I want to build a small-bodied fingerstyle acoustic myself....someday I hope. I've got 5 hanging on the wall and in stands already...gotta make room ;) <br /><br />Dave

Magster! That rocks. You could sell those things for big bucks. I'm thinking, a stand outside a NASCAR event, not to mention your own web site! Good thread BD. We've got a lot of talented people here!

Here's a couple of things I've done. The first is some wall art. It's a bunch of photos I took when I was in Hungary. I built a frame and created this collage.

<br /><br />This next one is a headboard I made. I didn't feel like buying one for a few hundred dollars, so I made this for about $35.<br />

Sweet Qc! Where did you get those windshields? Did you make them or have them made? They look identical to mine, except for color. I'd love to figure out a way to replace mine.

Re: I like to make stuff - How about post something you made..

BassCat,<br /><br />The windshields and the bow rail were on it. A dealer was holding the hull as collateral for a loan he made to a small manufacturer around the corner. He threatened to sell it to get them to pay and I came around and bought it. I had a connection at the time at Mercruiser, got a sweet deal on a 5.7 TBI Alpha and installed them in my garage. Interior, wiring etc. too. That was '95. I sold it two years ago as it was just too wet and too rough riding for the growing family and the lakes we like. It was absolutely perfect on the river though. I was really choked up watching her leaving behind somebody else's truck . . . :( <br /><br />I found some guys that make that type of windshield though. What boat is yours? They wouldn't go by dimensions, only the boat model. Doubt if any would be a magic fit. Company is Acrylic Designs in Anaheim CA. 714-630-1370. No website . . .
