Hi Steve , this is so, so beautiful !! You were the Pioneer in creating your early ones ( out of this world) and here again this is first 😊 Thank you thoroughly enjoyed watching you create this one of its kind shell.
Thanks! It's a more pleasant activity to associate with the sound. Now I can hear it and think that someone is carving - at least I hope it works like that. I think the compressor is more annoying.
I am new to scroll sawing. I can comprehend the cuts and shaping, although I am not sure I have the skills to duplicate them. What amazes me most is your ability to visualize and create the individual shapes required to achieve the final piece. It is beautiful. The wood, the finish and the craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. You can find the handpiece and the 1/16" shank bits on ebay. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1311&_nkw=dental+handpiece&_sacat=0
Way cool! Just bought my first tablesaw to build your shells. Gonna do some of your gears first though.does your gear calculations work for small and tiny gears for automata? The gears i make don’t fit together so well. Off subject,sry.
Thanks, and congratulations on getting your first table saw! The gear calculations work for any size gear, but with the table saw you'll be limited by the blade thickness for making fine pitches.
First of all that is great work!! To put your finish with all the groves and angles why not use a spray bottle to put finish on then wipe down.. Richard K.
Hi Marla, the dental drill uses a smaller air hose, so you'll need the small tubing and a threaded hose barb to connect it to your compressor. The hose barb I used replaces the tip of a blowgun. I wired the blowgun lever shut and added a ball valve to turn the drill on and off. Also need a regulator.
Good morning Steve, I REALLY like this shell for two reasons, one: just the design and texture, and two: using the cedar. I'll bet it was a fun wood to use since the wood is so soft; though it splinters easily. I have a technical question; what are you using for your lapping board? I am thinking of a piece of plywood, 11/16" thick. I've been using the belt sander and it causes more headaches because my angle disappears. Haven't worked on anything in the shop since March since Lorraine and I are busy with her business right now but am planning to get out and dust off the tools and clean the shop so that I can start up this week. You have a very creative mind. I think the lines in the shell add more to its overall appearance, keep up the good work. - Bota
Hello Kim, a belt sander is way too aggressive. My lapping board is 36 grit sandpaper on top of 1/4" glass plate - which is glued with construction adhesive to a small concrete slab I poured. That's overkill lol. MDF would be flatter than plywood. Glass is best. Thanks for the compliments!
@@Steve.Garrison Thanks Steve, I just took some multilayer 11/16" plywood and glued some 100 grit to it. It should suffice for now. Want to get at least two 1st gen shells made for the end of the month, there's a craft show that I hope to show my work at, will keep you updated on the progress of.
TO WITNESS SUCH INDIVIDUAL BEAUTY IN NATURE IS A TREAT, BUT TO BRING THE TWO TOGETHER IN HARMONY IS TALENT!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING, AND TAKE CARE!!!
Thank you very much. :)
Богатая фантазия художника,умелые руки скульптора и высокое трудолюбие все вложено в шикарную раковину! Прекрасно сделано! Удачи!
Thank you very much!
You've really stepped fr away from the box on this , Steve. Outstanding...!
Thanks! It was a bit more carving, but I like the way it turned out.

Thanks, Mahendra!
Each new piece, more realistic. Congratulations.👍

Extra kudos for being able to stand that dentist's drill sound! Wonderful!

Why not put the finish on with a brush?
Beautiful work! Where did you get the dental drill and bits?

Really amazing and beautiful!!!
What was the liquid you were using to get the hot glue off?
Thank you! It was acetone nail polish remover.
First of all that is great work!! To put your finish with all the groves and angles why not use a spray bottle to put finish on then wipe down.. Richard K.
Thank you! Yeah, it would have been easier to spray or brush the oil finish on being textured. I realized that right after I started.
Truly amazing!
Thank you.

@@kimsobota1324 That should work okay. Flatness will matter more when the parts get bigger.
pretty damn fucking incredible mate. top workmanship! Thumbs up from UK
Thanks!
