Hi All:

Working on Booty Corner. Maybe photos soon.

Karl

Can't Wait......

Maybe and Soon in the same sentence sounds like that l'il Jimmy D's teaser promotions!

But there's a sucker in every crowd, so I'll be waitin' and watchin' with drool drippin' down my chin.
I just wish that I could build somethin' as quick as the drool runs down my chin!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hi BN & David:

Here's a couple of progress photos:

Karl

Hi Guys:

The space at the top of the rear corbel is fixed.

Karl

Looking good Karl.  I like your color choice.  Keep the pics coming.

Hi Mark:

Thanks. It's Depot Olive and Rust.

Karl

Karl, 
Another awesome job as always. Thanks for sharing.........

Hi Bart:

You are quite welcome. Thanks.

Karl

Great job Karl, glad you're over here!

Great job I have to ask. What do you use for the window shades. When using canopy glue I have painted shades and it pushes the canopy glue outward.  So I started using microscope glass. But what do you use for the shade. Paint or paper?

Hi Greg:

Thanks appreciate it.

Karl.

Hi Rusty:

I don't use canopy glue. I don't like the stuff. I use Gallery Glass By plaid. I used laser cut acetate provided in the kit for this one. shades are free in the mail. Manilla envelopes. Wife also brings them home from work for me. Also craft store scrapbook section has many different usable shades of colored paper. I have used water based paints on the gallery glass for shades.

Hi All:

thanks
my wife has a ton a scrap booking paper. Thanks

I don't like the canopy glue, either. I either get bubbles or splits, no matter how hard I try to avoid getting it on too thick or too thin. I've used Gallery Glass before...should try it again. I also use scrapbook paper for shades. Just my two cents.

Hi Dave:

that's why I don't use it either.

Karl

Hi All:

The main structure is finished. On to the barbar shop & newstand.

Hi Rusty:

Great job Karl. You and Bar Mills are a great combo everytime!

HI  Cuse:

Thanks.

I have to figure out my next project.

Karl

Karl........

Great build........ I'm a lay down for outside structures like iron porches and fire escapes.  So much added stuff that makes them look real.

thanx
Bob

Hi Bob:

Thanks for the compliment. I like the wrought iron in the French quarter in New Orleans. Would be nice to see some etched wrout iron.
