Movie Quote of the week!
Kirk: Damn it, Bones, you're a doctor. You know that pain and guilt can't be taken away with a wave of a magic wand. They're the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don't want my pain taken away! I need my pain!
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989) |

Working on two Man-cave signs. The white paint did NOT like the heat. I ended up having to scrape the letters out of the paint and then burn the lettering into the wood. Presenting sign #1!

Made it through the hair portion of this piece! As I post the new pic I realize I kinda stopped at a real creep point. Sorry for the lack of eyebrows Daniel!
August 8, 2022
We are in the weeds now! Thick wavy hair....Just give him a buzz cut George! Slow burning but we're getting there!
August 5, 2022
Started burning in Daniel's neckline, really just avoiding burning his glorious hair but I guess it's time...

It amazes me that I'm still pulling pieces autographed over 5 years ago at Star Wars Celebrations 2017. Daniel Logan signed a blank piece of wood and its finally time to get to burning his image!
August 1, 2022
Once the backing plate was installed, I could then fill the crack in high end wood putty. Once it dried for 24 hours I was able to burn/darken the putty to match the existing burn. The tricky part was to make the putty look like the wood grain. I slight brush of acrylic did the trick! Tommy's has made the return trip to his momma, as seen in the pic! A huge learning experience that I'm sure will be used again in the future!

The crack continues to grow as the piece dries completely. The first thing to do is stop the "bleeding". Reinforce the back of the piece with 1/4" Luan, using 3/8" screws to secure it all over the back, not just along the crack area. Better to go with over kill than letting crack return! The crack is located between the two pencil marks.

Unfortunately for Tommy, he got caught up in a thunderstorm! You can see that the poor cat didn't stand a chance. The entire insides were soaked and when he started to dry, a dreaded CRACK! Stay tuned for Tommy's continued adventures....
July 25, 2022
Tommy Cat burning is complete! BUT Tommy's journey isn't quite over yet! Stay tuned for his harrowing next adventure!
