Pierce Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 hmm, why do i get the impression you like ebay? maybe its a subliminal image. Nice wood work on the sign, i know how hard it is to make it look just right.Pierce Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blim Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Very nice, Amp!! Keep it up. Many owners of Victorian homes are looking for scrollworked gingerbread trim--that could be a great summerjob or even a career.Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BTW, Pergo is a laminate, not a hard wood.I almost put it in my new kitchen as flooring, but changed my mind and used tile instead.Keep up the good work!Joe Edited September 10, 2005 by irregularjoe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ampshock Posted September 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Pergo is 10 times stronger that traditional hard wood.The guy at the store where we bought the pergo (Lowes) pulled out a key and tryed to scrach it but it wouldnt.Pretty awesome stuff!!

JSKY Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Hey! You do some great work there. Do you make other signs and sell them at flee markets or yard sales? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ampshock Posted September 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 No, This is my first wood working project that I have ever done.When My dad got his new laser jigsaw I was impresed with it and started to play with it. Then while we were puting the pergo in there was left over pices of wood,I thought well there is somthing that I can play with, so I went out side and pick up a few pieces and started to test out my dads new jigsaw. While I was adjusting the laser on it I thought about making cutouts of shapes, so I just started to cut a circle althought it was not a perfict circle it turn out ok. Then when I went home I was looking at my ebay mouse pad and thought about cutting a ebay logo. Then I traced it out on a piece of paper and put it on my scanner and made a zoom scan of the trace out and cut out the trace of the ebay logo. Then the next day I used the ebay trace to trace it out on the piece of pergo. Then being very carefull and using the right amount of force to controlel the jigsaw I started to cut from the Y of the ebay trace to the E side. The first time It didnt turn out very good at all, then I showed my dad and he was impressed at the cutout but It still wasnt right. So I took another try at it grabing another piece of pergo and tracing it out, this time I used great cautution and started to cut. My dad was amazed at the work I have done. So I sanded and staned the sides. And here it is now. Then later I made a smaller version of it, I am thinking about making It into a key chain, but it still needs sanding and It is alittle jagged because the jigsaw blades can only be so small. And that is the story of how I made the ebay logo with pergo.Now My Next Big Project Is to make a 5ft. long 3ft. wide one!!! jk lol. That would be pretty cool! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blim Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Well, I'm sorry to hear that, Amp and Hondaboy!!!! Art is one of the classes that shouldn't even be graded, along with Phys Ed, Music and Typing! If you two got bad grades in Art, you probably had a bad teacher, and considering I almost went into Art Education, I apologise for your teacher's actions--everyone who shows interest and tries to learn the Arts should get an A ....unless you were....a wee bit naughty . I'm blaming the teacher, though. Don't ever let a bad academic grade keep you from creating!!Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thesidekickcat Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Nice work on the ebay woodwork. Now I bet you'll be getting all sorts of orders for signs from people. They also sell nicely at various Christmas bazaars and Saturday market sales etc in our area. Good way to earn some money with part time work, and have fun doing it.You already have good ideas to do your templates, now you can just expand upon that for other things, or get jigsaw or other design books, or online anything you see that you want to use for a project design is but a copy to the printer away.Don't let some art class, or any other class, grade determine what you can do. Just try doing things on your own, learning as you go, and expanding your horizons...say from wood to acrylic to metals etc.Good luck too on the driver's test, and always drive safely for your sake and everyone else on the road.Pat.God bless everyone.

Brian_Holiday Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 This is my Wood work that I did over the summer. With only a Jig Saw WHOO!!!!Nice work, I had never considered using pergo for a project. I just have one question: What influenced your decision to make an ebay logo? Are you a superactive seller? At your age I would have chosen an auto logo or a certain american motorcycle company. BH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I bought something like that a few years back that said "ford parking only". It's proudly displayed in my drive way.
