Re: Home made woodgrain
Very nice. When I saw the torch come out I wasn't sure what the finished product would look but IMO its great. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Home made woodgrain
I would hesitate on getting that torch too close to those spray cans.

Re: Home made woodgrain
Just a safety comment on aerosol spray cans on work benches, when doing hot work or welding. KEEP THEM AWAY from the work area! In a welding shop where I worked, a welder was arc welding, and when he went to get more slack cable to reposition, the electrode touched a can of spray paint on the bench, and the can went off like a firebomb. Fortunately, he was nor seriously injured, because of the personal protective equipment he was wearing, and a nearby co-worker quickly sprayed him down with a fire extinguisher.

Re: Home made woodgrain
That is a shame, it was a great post. There was really not any heat involved with the shoot, at least very little. Thanks for posting it!

Re: Home made woodgrain
Mr42. My apologies for my post on safety. The event I described stuck with me as something I will never forget. The work you did was very impressive, and quite well done. Again, my apologies.

Re: Home made woodgrain
Ok I have removed all of the offending spray cans.
Hope it will work better this time ##################################### Some years ago i thought of fixing my interior in the 46 Ugly Coupe. And i had read about this method in old Hot Rod magazines. Started with the doors. Painted with some orange Hyundai spray paint. Then soothed everything with my acetylene welder. Everything is blacked with sooth. DON'T use spray can to lift it from the board :-) Then crumbled toilet paper in the hand, and dotted the soot. When everything looks OK stop,or redo with the acetylene. Do not touch with something else that the paper. The i sprayed everything with spray can clear. Let it dry. Stand back and enjoy the result. Made the 33 dash in the same way. If you put in some time in it you can get it much better, but it works for me. And I call it Chernobyl root. Used the same method on my Ford 42-48 to dashboard with Edsel instrument cluster, But used white as first layer on the bottom |

Re: Home made woodgrain
What a shame we are still left without the pictures. But I know about this technique.
In exactly this way decorating was done to bicycle rims and steering heads for many decades over here. Over white paint you could achive a nice marble effect. Was done with a candle, though. The soot deposits on the cold metal parts pretty well. |

Re: Home made woodgrain
Thank you for the initial and corrected posts. Seems like we (or at least me) are always taking creativity and fabrication talent here in the states for granted without thinking about all the creativity elsewhere. I'm always in awe what our fellow enthusiasts have to put up with in the way of high shipping costs and custom issues, etc. in order to create some really awesome vehicles.
