Do You Make Art? Share Here

[Back-of-the-boat]

I'm honored to be amongst so many talented people! I make all kinds of things. Art to some! I have made knives from scratch, customized factory knives, repaired many old collectibles. I make large projects too. My avatar was built from scratch by me. Have a few more of those type projects waiting in the grass. And while helping my buddy build his house I managed to build a sawmill in which all his trim work was milled and put thru a kiln that I also built after the sawmill. I stay busy...if I don't, I die.
Here's a few of my knives:

Very nice I love the backbone on the wooden handle knife.

There is not an artistic bone in my body...

However my wife is loaded with talent, she is a silversmith.

Easier to add a link to her website.....

Thats awsome work smallfoot......i like making knives also.....no forging for me, but I enjoy the grinding filing and making scales.

scrap cuban mahogany and scrap white oak. Kind of a farm table look in miniature......finishing the base for this coffee table now. Couple more cotes and she will be ready to sell !!

Abstract fine pencil drawing. Not finished yet lol. Just wish my little camera would take a better pic.

Love that table Blak bart! I'm in the process of making 3 different tables for people right now but not that far along. Wood is still in the kiln. Love exotic woods. A short while ago a guy bought all the land around me and my 2 neighbors and immediately logged it all. Looks like a war zone around here where it was mostly woods before. I got to know him well enough to get permission to haul anything that got cut by the loggers and not hauled out of here. I told him I built a mill and could use it. He told me to take anything I could use. I've been tractoring them out ever since. He was after pine but took many oaks and some bay trees. I had not seen what bay looked like when milled but he told they had real nice grain. I hauled 4 or 5 of them in here and he wasn't lying. Beautiful grain. Kinda strange wood. Hard as hell when cutting and sanding but light when dry I'm making 3 tables out of 3 different woods and am anxious to see how they come out. Even the pine I cut looks really nicely grained, but the oak and bay will be fancy. Book matching the pieces too. Have you got pix of your mill?

I also do a little scrollsaw workView attachment 1861003View attachment 1861004View attachment 1861005View attachment 1861006View attachment 1861005View attachment 1861007The painting was just a relaxation deal, trying to do something resembling an ocotillo.View attachment 1861008View attachment 1861009Sorry posted one picture twice.

You might have posted it twice but I think I've looked at it 49 times....hard trying to view any other threads today. I keep coming back here to see more fantastic stuff. Very nice work and a superior subject. My church has a wall of crosses where the members hang what they make. I was asked to do a tutorial one time to show what I made for a forge. I took the forge over to the church and forged a cross while showing the process. Don't know why, but don't have a pic of that!

Those are nice ticndig! I like the one piece cross. Unfortunately, I can't find pix of it but next time I make it over there I'll take one. I did mine 2 piece, held together by forged rivets. (mostly because I was trying to show the crowd how to do the rivets too). I like the way you use your scrap metal, I'm guilty of the same.

I have another cross I made for a friend at work out of manzanita branches and bound together with copper wire in the crux of the cross it turned out awesome.He loved the cross so much he took it in to be blessed at his church.Sadly he lost his life in an auto accident a few weeks after I gave him the cross.

Here is some of mine. I do about anything, but oils are my favorite. I sometimes do artwork based on historical places I have detected such as the camp scene here entitled "Camp Georgia." That's a local Confederate winter camp and I dug a hut pit right where it shows the tent and that's me sitting there. Lucky to be able to make money from creativity.
