ACman 7,423 #1 Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) I haven’t received the this yet but it’ll soon be on its way . My cousin who is a vet suffering from PTSD keeps busy drawing and painting. He’s also a very good tattoo artist and it looks like he found a new talent , wood burning . I thought something was weird one day when the wife asked me what my favorite Allis-Chalmers tractor was . I told her D-21 and she went about her business. Yesterday she showed me this picture of a new transfer board he made me with the images of a D-21 and a D-12 wood burned into it. I don’t think my rear end will be sliding across this one . I’m thinking I’ll be needing one with a image of a RJ and a 520 too for my birthday.

roadapples 6,980 #7 Posted December 27, 2017 Got a wood burning kit for Christmas when I was 10 or 11. Nothing like teaching kids early to keep your fingers away from the hot end... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC9KAS 4,741 #10 Posted December 27, 2017 Very impressive workmanship. The D-21 was quite a hoss in its day, and few folks knew about a D-12....There was also a D-10! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He did most off his own tattoos too . He joined the army at the age of 18 . Later was deployed to Kosovo and Haiti (seen stuff he’d really like to forget) . Went to Iraq as civilian working on base as a fireman and EMT (more stuff he’d like to forget) . Has always been employed by the government as a fireman, paramedic, nurse on bases all over the USA. After13 surgeries on shoulders and knees (one knee he’s on his third replacement) they wouldn’t give full disability so they fired him for missing to much work . I don’t understand how the government can mistreat our veterans like this after serving our country. Edited December 28, 2017 by ACman 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge 3,462 #15 Posted December 28, 2017 I'm seriously wanting to get into some fractal wood art - might give it a shot using the Dynasty tig welder and see what exotic designs I can come up with - or fry myself trying which is highly likely .
