No pics tonight then

 

To all of you who are dissing this thread and the time and effort that Bubba will put into this project.
At least he can stand back and admire the work that he has put into this manually and not created by some computer generated image.
This person has actually dedicated his time, and his effort into creating a masterpiece of his own making. That I cannot give enough credit to.
People have their own perspective of art, and this is how Bubba is showing his.
So, I await the work in progress Bubba. I shall for one amongst many others await pics and updates of this project.

Anthony

 

Nicely put

 

Have you seen my shed?


It seems a splinter cell of BP haterz is coming out of the woodwork......

 

he has an interesting username which helps

 

I used to do a bit of carving in my younger years, but have gone from whittling to fettling now

so I can appreciate the time and effort...just think you should varnish it when done and put a nice glass table top on it when finished

 

It's not a 'computer generated image' you dick. It's a fully three dimensional model created electronically instead of using a lump of wood. It still takes hours of work to realise. Not that I can be arsed to explain the process here.


As a general rule, if you don't have any idea what you are talking about, you really should keep your opinions to yourself.

 

one like this for the front garden may just raise a few eyebrows

 

A wilf ^^

 

You keep saying that....

I don't get it... why are you so loyal to this thread...??


Come to think of it, I don't really..... erm....

 

If you read earlier, UB, it matters alot to me.
1 - My father, who is now dead, was a very good artist. This thread makes me think of him, I like that
2 - Bubba is a very good friend

Is that ok

 

Oh and btw, I did my third infraction tonight Death to all, for threatening sara

 

Well, this is textbook SN, really. I have every respect for the w*rk that UB puts into his digital sculptures and wouldn't denigrate them in any way. I would only defend my personal choice of material over his. There are some people posting on this thread who must be really, really inadequate and have serious personal issues in order to turn a record of personal endeavour that might be interesting to people - over and above dump valves, LCD televisions and one's earning potential - into a backbiting fiasco.

I'll continue to add updates as and when, for those that are interested.

 

Well im still intrested,keep it up fella.

 

Well, UB implied I keep infracting people. I've done 3, and they were all worthy candidates

Bubba, I am enjoying this thread immensely, keep up the good work

 

Cheers, Lesley. I had too much w*rk on staircases to do today to get on the bandsaw, so no updates tonight.

 

Well, yes, and no....

My dad was an accomplished and respected classical/jazz musician. That doesn't mean I go all wonky everytime I read a thread saying this or that music is the best (and everyone else should agree).

BTW Does Bubba know he reminds you of your father??

 

And you replied: "Not my style, sorry to disappoint."




Well, I'm very disappointed, very, very.......

 

Robin, I give up
I was very close to my Dad, and this is just like watching him work. It's great and pleases me. Nowt wrong with that.
Oh and why don't you get cockahoop when someone mentions your fathers interests, It's normal you know.
I don't think everyone should agree, but I do think I am entitled to my opinion

 

Why, is 3 too many or not enough

 

Nice work Bubba

When I was younger I set out to be a joiner, loved working with wood, sadly it all went ****.

Looking forward to the updates and pics with interest.


It's a shame your thread is being messed withby the usual attention seekers, if you'd put this in projects you'd have been safe although no one apart from the grease monkeys would have seen it !

 

Thanks, FM. In what way did your joinery career go **** up?

 

Got accepted at St Albans college after getting backing from a local joinery firm, a week before I was abouit to start I recieved a call from them saying they were very sorry but they could no longer sponsor me, it transpired a "relative" of one of the bosses got my sponsorship, this really made me disillusioned, being 16 and naive and also greedy I accepted a job from one of my neighbours and that was that.

No Regrets though, but wood was always my favourite material to work with, nice and warn unlike metal which a lot of my school mates got into, to be fair the metal work room was cold and nasty whereas the woodwork room was warm and inviting give me a jigsaw over a milling machine any day

 

This should be in the DIY section not NSR

 

Someone better move it then. I'm not doing it myself.

I need to make room for another Plasma Screen thread.

 

You could always carve a plasma screen.

Once finished you can auction it on here - I'm sure Pete will buy it

 

I was torn between DIY and RRD (really, REALLY DULL) but decided to give you the benefit of doubt...

Bubba's next thread = Watching paint dry on a wall

 

Actually I'm off to paint a ceiling, right now. Spooky.... where's me camera.

 

Very polite ...not.

BTW - notwithstanding the hours taken to create it, and the undoubted talent it takes to create using whatever 3d modelling software, unless you can physically touch it, it is still, arguably, a computer generated image.

And as for "if you don't have any idea what you are talking about, you really should keep your opinions to yourself", coming from you, thats not just rich, its priceless

Anyway, back on track, very impressive Bubba, looking forward to the end result

 

Thanks, D.

Here's the state of play after an hour on the bandsaw today.
