PIZZA TIME!!!

'Ciao gli amanti della Pizza' (Hello Pizza lovers),

As some of you may already know one of my brothers (Jed) has been working in a pizza shop for several months now. If you've read my brothers blog click here to see it's quite obvious that he likes food and cooking. So he is very happy to working where he is. However most of you are probably asking 'what has this got do with carpentry'? Well, it was when the manager of the shop heard I was a carpenter he asked if I could make a wooden Pizza Clock for his shop. So in true Zaxon Carpentry form I accepted the challenge. The whole project took me several weeks to make and quite a lot of perseverance. Enjoy the pictures and feel free to comment below.

'Fino alla prossima volta' (Till next time)

Time to Suit UP!!!



Sup Superheroes!!!,


Here are two great new projects I've just made in my workshop. The first is a full size foam Hammer of the 'Mighty Avenger' Thor. I really enjoyed working on this and two of my younger brothers watched as I made it in great anticipation. The second project is another shield I made based on the shield Cap has in Marvel's brand new movie 'The Winter Soldier'! I hope you like photos below and if the world ever needs saving you know who to call.

Always 'Suited Up'
The Mighty Hammer and Super Shield

So here I marked the peices of
foam I needed to cut out





I also cut a peice of foam PVC pipe for the handle


Then started taping the foam around the head of the hammer





And then added more tape






and more...


and more...


and more...


until...


There it is!!!


Thor's Mighty Hammer


'The Winter Soldier'



First I drew the outline of the star and rings




Then penned them in

Then spray painted the whole shield silver

 After spraying it I started painting the blue around the star


Once I had finished painting the blue I then started the red

and more...

and more...


Until...

I finished Captain America's Super Shield




P.S If you haven't seen either of the two movies or clips below I'll warn you now that they both contain moderate smashing. Enjoy!
