Woodworking : Carved Art Nouveau Vent Cover // How-To Part 2

[@brianmoore3294]

Beautiful piece; you're a very talented sculptor. A tool tip for you - when I was younger and more hot blooded than I am today, I used to keep an old Blackhawk ratchet laying in the middle of the shop to throw instead of the tool that was misbehaving. That kept me from breaking a lot of expensive tools and the ratchet was none the worse for its misfortune. Ironically, I still have the Blackhawk which is now over 100 years old and has increased in value. ;-)

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

hahaha nice! That is a good tip, I started doing something similar with a rubber mallet.

[@geef6770]

Your parents surely are very happy with this beautiful piece of art.

[@cabman86]

Thanks for your video part 2 on the Vent Cover ... your labour of love looks awesome... definitely very skilled and great vision

[@tonydpayne]

Awesome work again Miss Badger.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks man!

[@FODman51]

You are a very talented sculptor. Beautiful piece of work. I always enjoy your videos please keep them coming. I have to admit a job is not done until a tool flies.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

hahaha!

[@guidoibba292]

Complimenti una vera opera d'arte👏👏👏

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks! My grandfather's name was Guido.

[@danieldurkton2942]

Beautiful!!! Love the light behind it great touch.

[@laroseauxboisrosewoodwoodw8585]

This very nice and love the oak stain and shellac !! As you said it POPS and ART NOUVEAU in that room just amazing 👏👍🏼🇨🇦

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks! I was a little nervous about the contrast because the room is pretty rustic, but I agree it does work out.

[@norm5785]

What a fantastic piece of woodworking. You really have a very wide skill set. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks!

[@sinsofvorador]

That's cool. I really like the purple light behind it.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Funny you say that because purple is not anywhere near my favorite color, but it is my favorite light on this piece.

[@benjaqsonworkshop9974]

I love the way you've taken Paris art nouveau and added a more organic element. Also reminded me it's time to repair my circular saw base plate that suffered a similar impact to your jigsaw recently - hahaha. Thanks again for showing this inspiring piece.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

It's one of those fixes that I ask myself why I just didn't take the time to do it months ago. Cuts pretty good now.

[@grablr]

wow, it's absolutely beautiful it's a piece of art love watching your videos, bravo.

[@northroadwoodwork8616]

This is such an impressive and unique piece! The combination of your sculpture background with woodworking has resulted in some true one of a kind creations. This is a stand out example of that. Wicked awesome! Thanks for sharing. ✌

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks Man!

[@kiwdwks]

Awesome...nicely done. A labor of love...

[@dc85337]

Really a nice piece of work! To attach the wire to the wall - use SHOE GOO. Very tenacious stuff and a little dab in places will keep the wire snug against the wall

[@dwighthitchens9838]

It looks very good especially where it’s at in the room.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks!

[@hjazkiz]

Always quite impressive. Thanks

[@AtticusDraco]

Nicely done Thanx for sharing your thinking process with us It's one of the aspects of your vids I greatly appreciate

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks!

[@KarlBunker]

Really impressive design and execution. I love Art Nouveau. All those gorgeous and sensual curves, lines and volumes. [Firmly resisting the urge to insert a remark here about how that applies to the creator of this piece as well as the piece itself ...]

[@yvonboudreau3932]

That finished piece looks amazing. You are a true artist I am sure your parents love it. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your week.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Enjoy your week too!

[@grahamparsons6620]

Is it a beautiful piece of wooden art or is it a beautiful functional sculpture 🤔not sure really but it is rather special, it definitely has character and blends in perfectly with the room, only thing I am not sure on is the multi-coloured lights, that maybe a tad modern for my taste , but of course that is personal preference, once again your design flair is outstanding, it must be great to have this much of a diverse kind of work coming through the shop 👌👌👌👍👍👍🇦🇺

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

I agree with this one. I'm not a lover of LEDs in general the quality of light is modern, that is good way to put it. I don't hate them on this piece, but I do also prefer different styles of lighting.

[@petedazer3381]

Wow! That’s beautiful!

[@peterjensen1229]

I love to see the design evolve and understand why you made your choices. Each step seems obvious after we see the finished piece. Thanks for the lessons!

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks!

[@dogwoodtales]

Nicely done! I love projects like this - making them and watching them. Maybe if you put some of that same plastic around the vent too then the light will diffuse between the two sheets of plastic and eliminate that shadow altogether.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

I was thinking about that the other day! Great suggestion.

[@AngelYega]

an excellent and brilliant job. congratulations

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks!

[@normantiffany3509]

This episode reminded me of Sherlock Holmes because it looked impossible when you first showed the finished product in the beginning, then in step two you made it look simple like something I could do, you have an amazingly creative mind, you have a bright future

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks!

[@stevemoloney3430]

Awesome Project!

[@bothann]

Love it. Love it. Love it. I hope you get to make another art nouveau piece soon.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

I wish I had more time to do stuff like this as well.

[@marcenariahobby7pallet]

Parabéns pelo seu trabalho 🇧🇷👏👍🤝👊🇧🇷💯

[@normanbott]

Beautiful result and the sculpting was amazing. Some epoxies get a little soft with heat, don't know about Marine grade though. Hopefully those LED lights will run cool enough. Fascinating stuff on the walls, such an interesting room.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks! Yes, I'm hoping since they are LEDs they won't heat anything up too much.

[@jparson3309]

Very cool build thanks for sharing just found your channel

[@steveparkes1266]

Really enjoyed these two videos, cleverly made and the end product is great. I’m going to have a little go at this myself, we’ll see how that turns out 😃 thanks for sharing 👍

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Nice!

[@jostreed]

This is very cool. (Hope your family in New Orleans is safe. My sister is on her way to Georgia now!)

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thank you! very nice thing to say. Since my sister is a nurse they had to stay down there so I'm hoping we can stay in contact, but I imagine the power won't stay on long with this one. That's great your sister was able to get to Georgia!

[@danamartin2146]

Another great video!

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks!

[@xoxo2008oxox]

French curve templates are really under appreciated! LOL..poor jigsaw...but GREAT RESULTS! Moi would have used LED strips on the pipe, that way it would not have the shadow, but would require some soldering and such. The LED floods do the trick though!

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

I actually have used the led strip lights in the past and I had some for this, but they just weren't bright enough. The flood lights pack a punch.

[@billpflug6692]

Nice to knownsomeone else chucks a tool now and again! Did you get into a point on this project where you said what the heck am i doing??

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

I get to that point on every project haha. For stuff like this it's more technical issues that I worry about. I really couldn't know how this was going to look with the light, and even it the light would work until the carving was done and I started playing with it. So in the back of head until I got to that point I was wondering if I was just spending a lot of time a huge oak paper weight.

[@emm_arr]

Nice work. I'm impressed. I don't know if these are on your radar, but Iwasaki files are something you might find useful tools. I can attest that they are a pleasure to use and you barely need to do any sanding after use.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Those are not on my radar. I'll have to check them out. I have pretty low end files now and wouldn't mind an upgrade.

[@emm_arr]

@@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks If it helps, I got mine from Crimson Guitars. They import them to the UK and put really good handles on them. Not sure if that's so useful as you are in the USA ... I am not a luthier, but some luthiery tools are great for general woodworking and fine woodwork. I can definitely recommend the Shinto saw rasp. Too few people know about those.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

@@emm_arr Thanks! I'll have to check them out.

[@keenowl1410]

Nice

[@smudger3805]

Lovely job , a carpenters & joiners version of michelang’s painted Sistine chapel’s ceiling 😂😂 Be honest then how many tool bits did you throw when they snapped haha 👏👏👏👏

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

hahaha. I don't throw the die grinder or the Dremel, too expensive haha

[@JohnColgan.]

Nice work, I was wondering how you would achieve the carve, you explained it very well, shame I haven't got a suitable corner to try this at my place

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks!

[@jorgealexandru7561]

👌 👏👏👏 👍👍

[@scottmcfarland1177]

Came out nice STOP THROWING YOUR TOOLS! The only one that wins when throwing tools is the tool company!

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Hahaha I've gotten much better at not throwing tools the jigsaw issues are from pretty old throws haha.

[@johngodwin4586]

you could paint the pipe a white colour.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

The white also acted as a diffuser for the lights, so it worked out.
