February is rich in "gender" holidays: Valentine's Day, February 23. Hurry to make souvenirs, invent stylish gifts. Here is a ready-made idea for you!
In this article, Steve, the author of YouTube channel "Steve Carmichael" will tell you what souvenir he has prepared.
As part of a project dedicated to the "creators of rock", which also includes several other YouTube channels, such as ESCA, Hado, woodworking, awesome wood and others, Steve performs a decorative panel with a 3D effect that mimics the cover of the Pink Floyd music album "the wall "
Materials
- Maple beam
- Walnut board
- Aerosol varnish
- Two-component second glue.
Instruments, used by the author.
- Band-saw
- A circular saw
- Drum sander
- Square, pencil, tape measure
- Reysmus.
Manufacturing process.
The author combines two types of wood - maple and hazel. First of all, the author cuts thin strips of maple, from which later he will make 76 "bricks" 25x50 mm each and another 12 in size 25X25 mm.
Then he runs the prowess through a thicknesser.
Now cuts out the bricks.
Thoroughly polishes the edges of each plate on a drum machine.
Then he cuts the board under the base of the panel from 8 mm plywood.
Putting markings on the base, and sticking "bricks" on it.
Here is the foundation and ready.
In order to sketch and print the inscription, Steve used the image from the cover of the album. He is preparing a template with which he will cut letters from hazel wood.
When the original album was released in 1979, there was no inscription on its cover, but only an image of the wall. Stickers with text were purchased separately. So every Pink Floyd fan could stick letters on their own.
In the early 80s on the first CDs this label was already there.
Drills holes, and cuts out letters on the machine.
According to the original plan of Steve, at the base of the panel should be made small indentations for letters that were supposed to lie between maple bricks. But, when the master laid out the letters on top of the bricks, he observed a more interesting effect - the inscription looked more voluminous and due to this "livelier". It transfers the marking through the stencil to the base.
So, Steve decides to stick the letters on top.
"The final touch to the portrait" - the author cuts another piece of walnut wood and gives it a rounded shape. He glues this element to the side of the panel, so that in the end it seems as if the edge of a gramophone record is peeking out of the envelope.
In the end, the author covers the entire product with varnish.
And attaches a loop for hanging.
Such a souvenir can be a wonderful source of inspiration for both artisans and people of creative professions.
Thanks to the author for the original panel! Such under the tree don’t be ashamed to give it to music lovers or musicians.
All good mood, good luck, and interesting ideas!
