The Saga continues...............
Somewhere on a far and distant planet that has two moons, a small workshop exists.
The owner, called WoodChuck, provides weaponry and other assorted items to all space travelers.
Recently he left the workshop, and traveled at light speed, deep into unknown parts
of the local galaxy .
His destination, Earth, Egypt to be exact.
After some "financial compensation", a local guide looked the other way,
allowing WoodChuck full access to an ancient abandoned tomb.
He had to work in the dead of night because the heat in the desert during the day is unbearable.
It took several hours of digging and crawling deep down a narrow sliver of an opening between two
hugh monolith slabs of solid granite. The damp, humid odor reminded him of rotting mummys.
Shining a battery-powered light, he noticed the rear wall reflecting strange shadows.
Upon closer examination, he found symbols and figures carved into the face of the stone.
Maybe Lucas was on to something.
A version of this plaque was an easter egg that appeared on the back wall of the tomb where
Indiana Jones finds The Lost Ark. I added a kicker to my version. The hieroglyphic symbols
translate into the buyers name. $50 plus shipping.

WoodChuck here. The first SWW is now history. Disney knows how to thorw a party.
Mr Lucas was there for the grand opening of the Star Tours ride.
WOW! There are a lot of star wars fans !!!! The Florida heat was unforgiving, but they stood in line
for up to two hours or longer to ride the Star tours ride. All fast passes were gone by 9 AM
both Friday and Saturday, so you had better be there when the gates opened at 8 AM
or be ready to just tuff it out in the long line.
Jabba's Hut is where all of the SW merchandise was on display. Photo ops were great inside,
and a lot of fans got signatures from some of the celebs that were on hand.
Steve Sansweet was signing copies of his collectibles book. He also attended the
501st dinner at Hulihan's Saturday evening.
I donated one of my Verpine sniper rifles for the raffle. The trooper who won it seemed
very happy and plans to post a photo once he gets it painted, LOL.
I tried to stop by every table and share my talent as a wizard with everyone there.
My wife Pam, my son-in-law Richard, and I all
had a wonderful time.
Thanks,
WoodChuck

WoodChuck here. looking good, keep up the attention to detail.
-
Woodchuck here. I had to get this private commission finished in order to meet the deadline.
The bottom of the frame is 48 inches long, and the high point of the elipse is 28 inches.
It s a giant peacock wall sculpture. the technique is called "Intarsia".
There are 375 pieces of wood that had to be cut sanded and shaped
to create the different depths shown in the photo.
The elipse-shaped frame was made from dark walnut.
Pure white aspen was used for the peacock. Each piece was
hand painted by my wife and daughter.

Woodchuck here. I do make the T-21 stock and receiver, along with the rest of the rifle, LOL
http://woodchuck.imp.../bfg-lewis-gun/
I haven't offered just the stock and receiver because of the labor involved. All of the time consuming details
are on the receiver. By the time I figure the cost, ($325) it's better to offer the entire rifle.
How's this? If there is enough interest, to help me recover at least the cost of supplies and some of my time, I will consider building up a run of stocks and receivers and offering them at a special price ($200) to show
the sand troopers I appreciate all the support they have given me since I was first asked to build props.
If there are 10 sand troopers who want to build thir own BFG and are interested in this thread, let me know.

Woodchuck here.
No wait, I am serious. This is a REAL tech tip, lots of good info:

Oh and I fogot to include a source for the double-stick tape: www.shopsmith.com

Woodchuck here. If anyone who has purchased one of my t-21's is having trouble modifying the clip to fit the sling, just send me the clip and sling and I'll mod it for you at no cost.
Thanks,
chuck
-
Woodchuck here. A trooper sent me the sling to install on the last T-21 run. I made a wider loop out of some 1/8 inch diameter steel rod, and that worked as well. That sling had a wierd machine mark on it . It looked like the brass loop got caught up in the riveting tool during original assembly. The brass loop was kinked almost all the way thru, would have broken apart during the first use.
This looks even easier to do, good find, thanks for sharing the tech tip.

Another AMAZING work of art Chuck!

in about a week from tomorrow, give or take a day for doing the packing and shipping of current project contents.
Holsters for Woodchuck's CC pistols
in Closed Project Runs
Posted
Woodchuck here. I just spent three full days trying to build a master mold in order to vac-form
some holsters. Finally, after wasting A LOT of wood, plastic and my time, I listened to my wife.
She said, "Why are you messing with this? Your name is "WOODCHUCK", not " VAC-FORM CHUCK".
i just couldn't get the shape or detail I needed by vac-forming. So, I went back to building the holster
out of wood. They are very light, very durable, and full of detail,so I am happy. Here are a couple
of photos. I used black vinyl for padding, and will include some extra with each set ordered.
Since I have made several of these pistols, there will be slight variations in each one. You can
pad the holster to fit your pistol. I tapered the shape of the holster to get away from the boxy look.
Using wood made it much easier to cut in the surface details. $50.00 plus $15 shipping within USA.
International shipping charges depend on destination. PISTOLS SHOWN ARE NOT INCLUDED
