Apparently he's just as bad as ol' Mr SLWKIRLS and tooked him a lil' ol' hisssyfits and blowed his top! Oh well...... back to the drawing bored Think we'll try us some wood for Herr Drivers' skull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Ya better be havin some Holy Shamoly water 'round ta keep them demons at bay!!! Oh yeah George! Them demons keep tryin' ta trip me up, but I just keeps prayin' and tryin' to do the right thing. My prayers are answered, and I makes it thru OK thanks to Jesus. (Don't be tellin' nobody, but ol' Mr SKWIRLS, and now Herr Gunthar the Clown driver, aint got the smarts to be demons, so I's kinda safe thereabouts ) Andyhows, I done went back at the drawing boared and picked a better line to be following fer a buck fer Herr Gunthar's head Made a template, and layed out some slices of wood for to glue Herr Gunthar's skull up at the proper like thickness (he be just as thick-headed as ol' Mr SWKIRLS ) Got them skull slices all scrolled out...... ...gathered everthing togehter..... ....applied a genenreous amount of Elmer's brain goo ta each slice.... ....and clamped 'em up. After letting the brain goo set up, the trick will be in removing all the extra wood so's Herr Gunthar's skull buck will be left. Hopefuellie carving out his skull will go welly and then we'll be puttin' paper mache over top of the buck for his 'skin'-- kinda like a puppet head. We shall see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layed out some red lines for to be whackin' excess woods away from Herr Gunthar's noggin. First stop were's ol' Jimmy's bandsaw-- got it fired up and did some slicing... ...then were's time fer them really cool sharp things Gunthar was kinda afeard to do anything-- he just sat still I was havin' a great time, slicin' & awhackin' on the clown ....and he sure be lookin' clowny like! I could only just take just so much of dat clown face, so's I wrapped 'im up with some heavy duty foil-- Now he looks like Gunthar the baked potater clown head!

Do you have any idea what the long term effects are from the exposure to the solvents in those two chemicals are ?
