Very well done Richard. The shape is terrific. I love the off center work. I am sorry but I also don't care for the finish. However I understand your reasoning. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Very cool project in this series. Really liked seeing how you used the offset turning on the body for the shape. The use of those shims when glueing up the body is a great idea. Yours is the second of the four I've seen. Next up are Mike and Tomislav's take on this project. As always, these are just a brilliant set of videos each month; so instructive seeing the different takes each of the four of you take to the month's project.
Been loving this series, watched all of them since the very first one and learnt a lot along the way, thank you Richard and the rest for taking the time to share with us. 😊
Many tips on off-axis turning, and many other things. The rust finish makes it look quite Mad Max like, which I suppose is appropriate for Australia. 😉 I do love how the four of you, even when you do 'the same thing', come up with such different takes on it. Thanks for another entertaining and educational video.
The driver looks a lot like a young Richard Raffan with cool shades! Or maybe Nigel Mansell without a moustache. I thought pine is an excellent choice of wood because of painting and weight. The off-center turning on multiple axis configurations is a good idea. Well done.
Any little kid would love this push car . It looks a bit like a Ferrari or an Alpha Romeo. If the top of driver was turned to have the profile of a racer wearing the iconic pudding mold helmet , even better . My thoughts of color scheme . FERRARI team red or Lotus racing team green and yellow nose I love your calm toned narration, and wish that I had been a member of my club , when you were a presenter
Just in time to save my bacon 😃 I've been asked to come up with a vehicle as a raffle/auction prize. In my case the driver needs to be a penguin which I also need to turn. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks Richard. Great car with lots of excellent chisel work which was very well described and explained. The paint work was not good though. Should have left it au natural. At least that way you could have seen that it was hand made wood.
I'm very happy with the rusty finish, and that's what matters. Why should the car display its woodiness when it's far more interesting to have people wonder what it's made from given it's the wrong weight and temperature for metal, doesn't feel like plastic, definitely isn't glass. Turning is just a convenient way to achieve the shape.
Fantastic video Richard. They say there is an inner child in all of us and I think yours came out today. It looked like you really enjoyed that one. I have some questions. Are you going to let a child play with the car or are you going to play with it yourself? What is the rust effect paint? Is it two different colour paints or is it a special paint that dries with the patina effect?
The rust is a 2-part faux finish seen in ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qUL7N5iLuGI.html. I see this more as an executive desk accessory rather than a child's toy. Child's toys are better plain wood.
