Diecast Collectors(Your Collection, News, etc.)

thank you folks for the kind words.
we carpenters are a proud people, and often look like this after staining & spraying lacquer (and drinking all the while)

so we like to gloat on our projects when they're finished



thought you might recognize that one j!

Many,Many,Many, many, Thanks jamzzz!!

I'll have to post a pic of the one Jamo made for me. Mine was the 2nd shelf. I only have 1 #14 car on it, and was waiting till I got a 2nd one to show it off. Thanks again Jams!

US Carpenters & Woodworkers Know how to do it up right with a little Imagination to make it come true!!

We obviously have some very talented Garage Gang members.

Well done guys

I don't have a creative bone in my body.

i cant show off my projects, not fair, im ready to cry

OK MJ, Quit
Here is a "How did I do it"?: This is a 1/4" Thick mirror Hand Etched "Smoke" on glass with Tony (in color) in the background!!!!!!!!! How did I do it???


Here is another Pic...

id say either free hand or you made a stencil

id say either free hand or you made a stencil

Good guess, stencil for the etchin... now how did i get Tony in the background MJ?

im guessing you cut a pic out of him, maybe glued it on the mirror then added the acrylic some cover on top?

gonna try and post some pics of shelves I made for diecast cars:
no I didn't sell these Tony, so don't sue me LOL





the numbers are routed into the wood freehand, then sanded & painted, then the entire piece is sealed.
The top has grooves for 2 cars, with felt padding to keep them in place.
The bottom has 2 hooks to hang the matching coats/hats
no metal brackets on the back, but keyhole slots, with more felt padding to prevent markups on the wall.





I don't have any diecast cars, but thought it was a cool concept.
I like jsw's desktop idea, those were cool!
I got some large pieces to make for the house (not nascar stuff, just furniture my wife has been wanting to make things pretty in here.
I'm going to make non-nascar stuff to sell to the shops in this area of the state (small moveable items, that won't get me in trouble with the nascar lawyers )

...very cool, VERY COOL INDEED!

Ur close MJ, I cut the pix out of a foil pack of Nascar tradein cards. Then took a drill & a wire wheel to take the silver off the back of mirror. Then taped the pic to the back! The wire wheel won't scratch the glass! U can do this with thiner glass mirror too!!

I made this one framed 10x12 mirror for a guy & he never came back to pick it up!!! Jr's Win in 04 at Daytona!!
