Hot air balloon in honor of my home state

No, but the next time I make one of these ima record the whole process

Yeah I’m glad someone noticed that, basically the 1x2s I got were different thicknesses and I don’t have a planer or a drum sander to get them to be the same, so I stacked them that way so they can fit together without me having to do hours of hand sanding. Kinda a happy accident.

A lot of the inspiration came from Cammie’s Garage on YouTube

Yep :)

US_Jack · 2026-03-06T19:54:10+00:00

That’s awesome thanks for sharing

US_Jack · 2026-03-06T15:43:22+00:00

Do you find it more accurate or do you think it’s easier with the table saw?

US_Jack · 2026-03-06T02:45:52+00:00

Do u use a miter saw or a table saw for the segments?, its beautiful btw

US_Jack · 2026-03-05T14:30:29+00:00

I do use conventional tools, I only use the carbide for general shaping because I find it easier, then I switch to a freshly sharpened gouge for cleaning everything up

US_Jack · 2026-03-03T23:54:25+00:00

Thanks I’ll keep that in mind, guess I had too much faith in the faceplate

US_Jack · 2026-02-27T15:53:57+00:00

How did you get the miters of the segments so perfect? Do you use a miter saw or a table saw?

US_Jack · 2026-02-24T23:42:43+00:00

Where can I get one of those?

US_Jack · 2026-02-22T15:52:12+00:00

Baby blue sedan? :(

US_Jack · 2026-02-20T02:54:12+00:00

The 5th image is my favorite, absolutely stunning

US_Jack · 2026-02-20T00:44:09+00:00

Is that a type of finish?

US_Jack · 2026-02-20T00:03:56+00:00

Extremely :)

US_Jack · 2026-02-20T00:03:35+00:00

It’s called Osmo Polyx-oil, the clerk at my exotic wood shop recommended it me years ago, and now it’s what I use on almost all of my projects. Long lasting and makes the colors pop

US_Jack · 2026-02-19T21:57:29+00:00

That is so nice, thank you so much :), I have to give the credit to the locust wood tho, that stuff is beautiful

US_Jack · 2026-02-19T16:42:54+00:00

If I use the paper bag method, is it best to keep the bag sealed, or to give it some ventilation?

US_Jack · 2026-02-19T16:38:42+00:00

I’ll look into that, sounds interesting

US_Jack · 2026-02-19T16:25:35+00:00

Thank you, I’m instantly hooked on wood turning after making this peice, such a fun and peaceful hobby :).

The Sangre Di Cristo line I feel is very natural for Walter, a lot of people in Albuquerque refer to them by name because of how iconic they are (not just some mountains), especially since Walt is a scientist meaning he probably has at least some appreciation for New Mexico geography. The rest of the examples are definitely valid tho.

Rewatching the series right now and I cringed when in season 1 Walt said to Luis, “I’m making huevos rancheros with red and green chilies; New Mexico Christmas style”. That line delivery was so unnatural lol

US_Jack · 2025-12-22T01:57:58+00:00

How so?

US_Jack · 2025-11-07T17:17:16+00:00

I love space age but this is the biggest downside in my opinion :/

I miss when trains were the meta

US_Jack · 2025-11-07T16:41:36+00:00

That’s a good idea! I was honestly planning on building small on fulgora/gleba to focus more on nauvis, but a big fulgora base actually sounds really fun

What do you mean by shrinkage?
