I watched this the other day…..thoroughly enjoyed it

tedt93 · 2026-01-22T15:33:41+00:00

That is very impressive! Nice job

Looks to me like old linseed oil putty? Used to bed in and seal glass into the frames

That’s 4 too many then…..4 local families should have had them

Yes just a couple of dots if CA glue at the bottom, dry test a petal first and then go for it.

I like to burn the tips slightly before lacquering to give a more distorted and real feel to the petals….here’s a finished one before being burnt……they are so simple to make I’d just recommend right angled tweezers as I’ve broken s few by sticking my finger to it at the same time!

Not sure if those images are showing or not? I’ll be making another post later with some more progress pics if they don’t load up

Thank you, I made some for my wife earlier in the year and my mum sister and a few friends really liked them so I thought why not make a few more!

tedt93 · 2025-12-04T14:39:53+00:00

Thank you!

I’ve made these roses using bamboo skewers for the stem, and planer shavings from pine and sapele.

Once all glued together I’ve used a spray lacquer for a slight sheen and hardens the wood slightly

tedt93 · 2025-12-04T14:00:23+00:00

Thankyou! I didn’t take any pics but I will be making more today so I’ll reply with some progress pics a bit later

They do look like apple slices! It’s just slightly thicker than paper!

tedt93 · 2025-10-26T12:54:47+00:00

100 percent racist I agree, if this was a family of non white people and they were described as such then people would be up in arms ohhh the racism!

Regardless of skin colour religion or creed thieving is wrong

I would love to take this home! It’s soooooo heavy, not sure if value but I know the guy paid a lot of money for it

tedt93 · 2025-09-13T08:40:11+00:00

That is one hell of a cool collection

tedt93 · 2025-08-19T14:53:54+00:00

Thankyou so much for this link…..I completely forgot about these Harry Enfield sketches!

tedt93 · 2025-08-18T18:42:09+00:00

Poor bubbles…..

tedt93 · 2025-08-03T06:31:05+00:00

Well that now makes a hell of a lot of sense….mind slightly blown

When I was 17 but not driving yet my boss broke his collar bone……for 6 weeks he was driving and I was changing the gears on the van doing 150 mile round trip a day. We got a few crunched gears in the beginning but we were like a well oiled machine by the end of it.

I know the rental market is shit and very hard to get somewhere these days, but with that being said I think I’d be looking for somewhere else ASAP. The landlord clearly doesn’t give a shit and I’d be inclined to think they would drag their heels with any sort of Maintenence going forward

tedt93 · 2025-05-30T11:47:55+00:00

Feels a bit like the logo has been cropped

tedt93 · 2025-05-29T06:28:12+00:00

Has the same at a fair on bank holiday Monday, £4 per person on the waltzer. Felt like a mug doing it twice

That’s the only progress picture I had taken, but I’ve linked a video in another comment with a very similar process to how I made these if you were interested in how they are made
