Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
Ford Hot Rod C Cab T-Bucket VanAfter the fun of making a detailed Ford Hot Rod C Cab T-Bucket for myself I knew I needed to make a similar version for other children to play with.https://www.lumberjocks.com/projects/418923So I started again with the basic Van T-Bucket body though without the rear opening door and a less complicated drivers cabin, bench seat, button steering wheel and bead gear shifter.The engine took me nearly 4 hours on the original toy so this one was simplified, just radiator, blower and zombie pipes with a strip down the centre of the engine block.The wheels are shop bought as are the furniture button lights on the front and rear bumper bars.. i made the headlights and secured with a 1/4” bamboo skewer.The finish is my home made wipe-on-poly.The chassis is Spotted Gum, the engine is Merbau,the roof is American Oak, the drivers seat is Cyprus Pine, but I haven't a clue on the sides.This one has gone to the local shop. .

My parents' urns
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
When Mom died unexpectedly at the age of 98 a few years ago, Dad asked me to make her urn. I sized it to fit the plastic case which the crematorium used. Never having had a great deal of success with long ripped miters, I decided to use contrasting corner posts. I laminated a photo of Mom wearing her wedding gown for their 75th anniversary invitations the previous year to insert into a groove I cut into the front pillars. The sides are made of maple, corner posts are from walnut, and the top is bass (or maybe poplar, I don't remember). The sentiment was printed using a laser printer and polycrylic.When Dad passed away late last year less than a month from his 103rd birthday, the family asked me to make his urn. I used the same design I had used for Mom's but used some sugar maple for the sides which Dad had cut for firewood a few years earlier. He thought it was too pretty to burn so he resawed it with his chainsaw and gave me a few pieces. I laminated two photosone from a couple years ago and one when he was much youngerjust 89. We ultimately used the much younger one. I ended up resizing Dad's urn since it didn't fit into the waterproof container in which it was placed for burial. I was able to cut down the sides and bottom, but had to remake the top so the sentiment could be centered correctly. It was a privilege and honor to be able to make my parents' urns. They were blessed with long lives which is an affirmation of the promise made in Scripture: Honor your father and motherwhich is the first commandment with a promiseso that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth. Ephesians 6:2-3 NIVL/W
