Japanese Spitz - Part 5 Photos

 

Japanese Spitz - Part 5

We ended the last session by glueing the doggie onto the back board and here we are next day for what should be the last session.

Japanese Spitz - Part 4

We finished the last session glueing the back frame onto the backboard which was left to dry overnight.

Japanese Spitz - Part 3

From the last session we glued the inner frame and left it to dry overnight.

Now we can remove that and take it outside for spray painting.

During my Brandon Park shopping trip this morning also got the  A4 photo frame for this job.

In the first session I cut the four pine strips for the internal frame and here we are measuring and cutting to fit the inside of the main photo frame.

 Customer order came in yesterday for a doggie night light.

Sent a few mock-up's for approval and this is what she picked.

With the doggie lighting done we can now proceed to glue him to the back board.

Carefully measure, mark and drill the hole for the LED wires.

Secured the battery box with hot glue and soldered the LED wires connections.

American Staffordshire Terrier

Over the last week with the cold weather have not spent any time out in the workshop and then Holly needed extra care culminating with her leaving us - forever!

Today was another busy day catching up with away-from-home stuff but did manage to get out to the work shop after we got home from shopping.

Picking up from the last Part 2 session here is the internal spacer frame sitting inside the actual 6 x 4 picture frame.

Glue the internal frame and leave to dry, then nail each corner for added strength.

This is a bonus light for a customer that ordered a combo Poodle - Jack Russell picture light.

As usual in MS Word created a A6 (6x4) cutting template.

 and to give it time to dry…

Before starting to wire the Jack Russell we should glue down the background photo print to the front of the picture frame backboard so it has more drying time, and add some weight.

From the last session the MDF doggie silhouette's are ready for the LED back-lighting.

Before we do that we need to trim off their bum's!

We ended the last session with cutting out the Jack Russell.

Just finished cutting out the Toy Poodle.

While the MDF silhouette templates are drying we can carry on with the internal frame.

In the last session we glued the pine strips around the MDF picture frame back, flush to the edges.

While the MDF picture frame back (internal frame) is curing we cam move onto the doggies.

We need to prep the MDF blanks for cutting out on the scroll saw.

Making a start by doing some prep work - glossy A4 background  print, silhouette template prints and a black photo frame.

Midway through last winter I found it too cold (even with some heating) in the workshop (Al’s Workshop) so I effectively closed the shop by hibernating all my Marketplace adverts with the intention to open again in Spring. Well…that came and went, so did Summer then Autumn and now it’s Winter again. What happened?

For those enquiries that came in directly I did take some orders and now we have another request from a Facebook friend – Toy Poodle & Jack Russell silhouette night light.

I do all my designs and mock-ups (like the above picture) in Microsoft Word; send the mock-up to the customer, discuss and edit if needed and then agree on a final design.

There are lighting options, this one will have a day/night motion sensor controller for the LED silhouette backlighting.
