Happenings at A Place in Time on 22 August 2015

Aloha Everyone,

What can be better than a Saturday morning and the trade winds have returned with a bit of sunshine and puffy white clouds. No pressure today - a couple of Hydro Flasks to engrave and a little clean-up around the shop.

Art came by the other day and showed Priscilla and I his latest model car creation. For those of you that were not alive at the time, it's a 1923 Ford Model "T" Street Rod. The result is something really special. Art is never satisfied with just taking the pieces found in the box and assembling them. In this case he scratch made the velocity stacks  and exhaust pipes from polished aluminum tubing. The exhaust headers were made from silver solder. The 427 cubic inch engine is plumbed and wired. The interior and roof is cloth covered. What always amazes me is the paint job Art does on his models. It is so smooth and polished - I don't see a flaw anywhere. Please see the photos below. Art typically enters his projects in the car show downtown and is always in the running for the People's Choice Awards. The next time your in my Laser den you can see his talent on display.

Yes, the top comes off.

It's amazing to see the detail and the creativity. And you would be surprised  what
Art uses for the details on the car.

Stacks and pipes custom made.

Wouldn't you like to drive this down the street.

Art also took the time to engrave a Hydro Flask that he was going to give to his sister as a gift. He started with our 3 Hibiscus Stencil, modified it a bit, and let the laser do the rest. We have the image on file if you would like to use it. For some reason the program isn't allowing me to download the photo of the flask - so I'll do it on the next blog.

Have a great weekend and don't forget Fran's class next Saturday. You can see the photos on my previous blog.
