My latest builds. All built from scratch.




The last one is a F-16 that I am currently working on.

The bi plane is really neat, very cool retro toy.

Those are nice. Did you follow a pattern or design them yourself?

Nice work.

Awesome, and yes I really like the bi plane. Back in the seventies we made all our Christmas gifts out of wood. We made toys and games. It was very gratifying and everyone just loved them

OK who here used to make those planes out of balsa wood, the wooden sheet had the design imprinted on it and you cut them out with the exacto knife. then you coated with some kind of thin paper. They were kits and some of the planes were 30 inches across. I made several but they were expensive as I remember......jk

Do you hand carve or use some power tools?

I used power tools for the bi-plane and first jet. For the F-16 I am using power tools as well as carving. I designed the first two myself, but for the F-16 I am using a drawing of it as a guideline.

I admire guys that can do things like that. Nice work.

Thanks!

Finished the F-16!

Looks like they would hold up to a kid that plays hard. Good job.

very cool I like your handiwork

Finished these. The biplane and the other jet isn’t in the picture.

I am now working on a wooden model of my Glock 17 Gen 5 9mm.

looks good

This was a chess board that I built. It isn’t very good since it was my first try, but it is better than nothing!

The chess board has since been ran thru a wood planer to give it a smooth finish as well as a coat of lacquer.
