My tape also had "Shaving Cream" and "My Boomerang Won't Come Back," and some others I don't remember.

It all depends on Randall's router budget...

That's not a router, but if he used a CNC 5-axis, the wood wouldn't hold together for that abuse. I know, I used to program them.

In hindsight, I should have thought harder about it having worked for a U.S. manufacturer of CNC Machining centres for the last 27 years.

Then you could do the same in aluminum or phenolic, but you still have to paint them, which to me is harder. Actually for me, that's impossible.

That 5 axis machine demo you linked to was *amazing*. The way the lower table moved at the same time the upper machine tool was moving - wow!
Beautiful helmet produced, also. But for a laugh, click on the "most useless machine". Had me rolling at the impudent thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z86V_ICUCD4 |

hi ..i just found this site. heres the deal. i use a bunch of conventional shop power tools like a table saw and a router, and even hand held rotary tools. in my world that still falls under "hand made or hand carved." no cnc or computer cutting. actually three quarters of the work is done with a straight edge, a mat knife and a fishtail gauge.
in real life they look real from a few feet away but up close you can see they are wood. often the grain is visible or even a knot or two. thanks for your interest. |

So Randall, how did you find yourself doing this kind of work? A dare? An idea? A challenge?

i started out as a painter and did that till i was 40. then i worked as an architectural designer and the architect i worked with pushed me to do large instillation sculptures. i did that for ten years till i carved a book rest for a lectern that looked like a book............and here we are. thats the short version. look at the website it has lots of architectural work on it also.
thanks for the kind words. http://www.randallrosenthal.com/ |

Ah, that explains the incredible detail in the painting. I can see the wood working, with care and patience, but the painting just blows me away. Kudos.
EDIT Hey, wait a minute... I take back what I said about the carving. This is impossible. How could you do just this piece in one lifetime, let alone the others?
