Lou... 3,118 Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Lou... :heartsmiley: Ditto This is a project I will enjoy watching. That's my goal. That's some pretty terrific work there, Lou. Looking forward to seeing the transformation on your latest project! Me too. I like when Mary Poppins rode the carousel. There's got to be a subliminal message in there somewhere. What does your obvious abundance of talent have to do with your equally obvious lack of a pretty face? Kinda like yin-yang. Wow! That is awesome! Awesome, not really, but thanks. When you showed the Dwarfs, I thought you were joking about making them. You weren't!!!! Nope, people think I bought them already made and just painted them, but they all started with a big ball of clay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And "it all started with a mouse" sounds much better than, "hey Ub, (Walt's animator) come up with character for me because I can't draw worth a damn" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Today was research and locate the parts day.The pole is crucial to the overall look, so I wanted the pole to be high quality. I'm using all polished brass parts to make it and the base.I found a company online that sells all sorts of polished brass parts. I ordered a brass ball for the top of the pole and a 1/4"diameter brass rod for the pole.For the base, I'm using a generic brass candlestick holder which can be found at most home decor stores.I'll drill the ball to accept the pole and cement it in place. And I'll do the same with the base.That's it for the pole. A professional looking and quality carousel horse pole for about $35.So far I've spent about $85, and that should do it. The rest is labor.

Retired & Tired (Judy) 90 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 You do not know this but all my life I have wanted one of the carousel horses. I saw one in Mobile at one time but they would not sell it. It was almost full size. One like yours would be one of my dreams coming true. And I know just where I would put it. Did not realize how talented you are. Keep up the good work. Shawnee says hi to Mr. Lou. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I consider the real ones works of art.I'm glad I made it for Gail.The first photo does not do it justice, here's a closer view. Did not realize how talented you are.I take absolutely no credit for it's just there. Shawnee says hi to Mr. Lou.A big HI right back at him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4Brians.....Todd 103 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 That's some beautiful work, Lou. You can be very proud of it.Back in my college days, I dated a girl who had a brass pole like that in her bedroom. Now it all makes sense. Apparently she hadn't finished crafting her carousel horse yet... BradyBzLyn...Mo and DaveInTN 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's her story, and she's sticking to it.If I ever go to a strip club, and get caught, I could explain that I was conducting research for the pole.
