Starting on a New Hollywood Rig

Ace Lungger · September 15, 2009, 08:37:59 AM

Howdy Pards,

I havn't posted anything new lately because I have been doing layout work on my newest Hollywood Rig

I have spent about 20 hours layout work on this Rig, and just about to get started. All I lack is getting the okay from the customer on the color.
I wanted to post a sample of what it is going to look like, all layouts are done on scrap and perfect alingment of everything are only close.
What I thought maybe you all would like a peak at it, so you would know that I havn't just been sleeping all the time

Here it is!

Your work is first rate Ace. I seem to remember you maiing your own hole punches for spots. Is that correct? After you punch the holes, what do you use to set them? Thanks, JD

JD,
Yes I make my own spot chisels, and when I first started setting them I rolled it over ever spot and used a small dowel rod, until one day i was over at David's and he ask me if I had a spot setter, I ask what a spot setter was, and he showed me, and I said I allways wondered what those that I have were for

.
I don't think they are very high, and when I bought all those Vintage tools here a couple months ago I would of thought there would of been several sets, but not a one! I would look on ebay!
Hope this helps.
ACE

Hey Ace, that looks like it will make a fine looking rig. I might have to make one of those one of these days.
