Learning Photoshop






I have started using some of my photos to create some arty effects in photoshop. The cat actually did have a yellow and blue eye. I will turn my attention to some fishing scenes soon. I enjoyed making these.

Wood Work Project - Display Box.



 Draws made from eucalyptus.

 Beautiful Cherry grain.

 I wonder how old the fish grippers are, 50s, 60s?

On to the next project.

Made from an old Cherry tree that blew over 4 years ago, this small cabinet is 4th I've made. Picked up the black metal decorations from Japan. 

I have had these lures for a long time and have always wanted to display them. I placed cork in the back of the cabinet with thin strips of cherry to hang the lures off.  I used a box join which I did on my router table to hold the sides together, by making a jig which I saw on youtube. The wood passes vertically over the router blade and has to be clamped with each pass. If it isn't clamped it kicks out ruining the cut. 

It's probably not the best way to cut a box joint, but a good result for a beginner.

Reflection

 Advantage?

 Smoko time.

 Too many likely shapes!

The reward.

36 knotted pheasant legs later - 6 Craneflies and a funny twitch. All worthwhile...yeah right!

Beautiful scenery, but where are all the fish?!!


Shifty fish, they have already been tickled.


Slow down and have a good look!
