50+ years ago the Grand Chap was a great mechanic but didn't know how to hold a hammer much less use power tools. Since he fully retired two years ago he has built himself a woodshop and I keep getting beauitful objects like this from it.
I understand from my woodworking friend that it can be difficult to get those completely symmetrical without leaning to a side. Looks like that beautiful bowl was made by a master.
learned to do something like this in two years?!?!? i'm hopeless then. been learning how to draw for half of my life now and i still can't draw stick people.
This is stunning! All those years as a mechanic have transitioned very well! I think both require a good eye to see the finished product and good, steady hands.
@amyk Thank you Amy I thought so too @randystreat LOL thanks He has just worked hard at learning new skills @shutterbug49 How nice of you to say Debbie. I am proud of his efforts @louannwarren Thank you Lou Ann and aren't I though? @dutchothotmailcom I have been very pleased with how well he is doing Thanks Esther @wyomingsis He wishes he could ask and show him what he is doing. No to the shopsmith, but he has bought lots of other tools @maggiemae he definitely has worked at it! I like your idea of putting a little bowl of flowers in it! @ludwigsdiana Thank you Diana It has been worth waiting for @30pics4jackiesdiamond Yes he is and yes I do! @gijsje thank you bep I am pleased to hear you think so @olivetreeann That is so true. Thank you so much Ann @tunia Thank you Tunia. I used the light box he gave me a year ago so there was no background @summerfield actually it has been more like 6 months since he actually started working on this kind of objects. I am sure you draw better than you realize and your wordsmithing is out of this world! Don't sell yourself short! @marilyn Thank you! l have been pleased and impressed with all he has made so far. I am especially glad that he hasn't given up even though he has had a few less than stellar results.
