Fence made from Redwood all cut on tablesaw
Drag thin boards backwards on a bandsaw makes a nice way to cut edges to look uneven/rotted.

Hey Dennis. I just happened on to your build. Fantastic modeling (as usual). Will using the PB replace your famous Magic-Sculp process of the past? Just wondering. And thanks for posting.
Sorry, double post.
Gad I learn a new valuable technique every time I look at one of your builds! I love it! Nice job Dennis!

Thanks Peter
Wont replace the magic sculpt, but it will reduce the use of it, this is quicker.

Thanks Jim, I appreciate the compliments

Beautiful as always Dennis.
Dennis, super build!
Making Redwood Shingles
I am making shingles this time with the table saw. I have done them in different ways, I actually made a shingle splitter, that works
very well, but I like this way the best. I purchased a thin kerf blade to save a little lumber. It cuts very nice, and smoothly. I will cut 3 different thickness, about .050-.060-.070, these will give a very authentic look . Then I take a wire brush on a cordless drill and wire brush the wood as pictured. Quick and easy.

Then I stack the three different thickness in no order, using masking tape and wrap it in a spiral as pictured. Then I set the fenceon the bandsaw to 1" and crosscut the complete stick. So I end up with many pieces taped together measuring 1" long and 1-1/2" wide.
These were cut from a 2’x6’ redwood board.

This is a couple packets of of cut shingles to be,

I used a cutter because I have one, I also just split many with my fingers and thumbs. With the cutters i do 4-7 layers
at a time.
Start Laying Shingles
I layout lines 1" apart for reference lines for me to follow how straight I am laying them.

Now the first layer of the steel shim stock rolled through the home made crimper, I use steel so I get REAL rust.
This is my shear to shear the strips. can also be cut by a good pair of sizzors or tin snips could be used.

Then the Crimper

This is is Birds eye view of the roof, I treated the steel with a coating of Muratic acid and then spraying hrdrogen peroxide, that will activate rust affects immediately.
Then over night it is at the limit of rust i want, then I remove rust in places as seen in the picture, with the drill and wire brush, then spray with a clear coat to slow down
more growth of rust.

SIGNS

The signs are made from 2 layered acrylic lasered and cut on a laser.
I used a dremel with a wire brush and fine sand paper , to slightly remove the top coating.
