Stained Glass, 50"" long at bottom.

My first attempt at "stained" glass, but was applied to plexi-glass which will be fitted inside of regular glass.

Taylor Cub & 1911 Wright Flyer, About 26" long each.

These are scratch-built models from memory. Designed and built simultaneously, from cardboard drinking cup boxes and shishkabob sticks.

W-700 Delivery Van, About 3.5" long.

This is a scratch-built model from memory also. Built from card stock printed with a LaserWriter. Art in Adobe Illustrator.

Detail of unfinished airplane; balsa, plywood, fiberglass, aluminum.

Scratch-built P-51D Retractable Tailwheel.

AR-15, Lifesize.

This is a scratch-built model from a photograph. It is made of solid walnut (except for the trigger and other levers, which came from an old typewriter.

Flintlock .50 cal. Black Power Rifle, About 57" long!

This is built from a kit, although the mount is scratch built from Pecan. I welded through-bolts onto the horseshoes and then coated the inside rim with black silicon to keep from scratching the rifle. The particulars can be read from the placard above which is a paper repro of the brass one on the display.

Allenby Green Signage-1984, Germantown, Tennessee.

This is a sign that I designed back in 1984... and it still exists! The builder/owner took a chance on a college kid. I did not build it; just drew it up on paper. Can't locate the original construction drawings though. Originally, the name area was done with 303 Exterior Siding with the Logo Painted on, however sometime over the past couple decades, it has been replaced with a painted cast concrete emblem.
