....and here is the birdfeeder after painting. Thanks for your kind words, everyone. I was going to make a couple more for family members but hadn't intended to go into business selling them, I just made it for fun.

Phil what a great looking birdhouse....would you mind sharing the plans? My uncle does wood working too, and I might be able to ask him to build one.

R-pod & tow vehicle as requested, David (of course it's really a cookie jar towing a bird feeder, lol)
Yizit, all I did was find a picture of the side of an R-pod online - adjusted the size of the pic so that the trailer filled my 15" laptop screen, put a sheet of clear plastic overhead projector film over the computer screen and traced the trailer with a sharpie. I then transferred this to some cedar paneling I had previously glued up and just eyeballed the rest. It's supposed to be kind of "folk arty" not a true scale model, though its pretty much a 1" to 1' scale.

Phil, that picture of the "cookie jar" towing the "birdfeeder" is just about the cutest picture of an R-Pod I have seen yet! It is awesome!
I agree....please bring the birdfeeder to the Roundup so we can see it in person.

I made a few more birdhouses for family and friends. In the process, I'm gradually refining the design. Who knows, I might even bring a few to Kentucky.

Phil I'm confident the birds in my neighborhood would start a major conflict to see who got to live in the "POD" . Those are absolutely great. Your craftsmanship and ingenuity are astounding. Thanks for sharing them with us. By the way your other tow vehicle looks just like a '53 Buick I used to own. ------------- Sandpiper Mrs.'Piper Ford 150-[Mini Lite 2104S] |

Those are great...How did you get the circles on there???, Do you have any 172s (no front windows), and most of all do you take orders.
I would attached a shepards hook somewhere. (for the campsite not while moving).

Lee - I'll make some with no front windows to take to Kentucky for those with 172's. I can always add windows on the spot as they're painted on (as are the "Olympic rings") :)
I don't know what a shepherd hook is but they have a wire on the top to attach to a hook or plant hanger (such as a hanging basket) etc ------------- 2010 R-pod 171 (sold) 2010 Surveyor SV251 towed by a 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche |

My grandson has fallen in love with my R-Pod. So I made him a similar, simple, wooden model but I have no talent as an artist. I wanted the R-Pod graphics on the sides. So I carefully photographed my R-Pod and using Photoshop, kept the image of the graphics. I bought some inkjet decal paper. I found the following Youtube.com instructions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8XuJ0Z3bbQ for making a decal which could transfer to the R-Pod model. I printed out the Pod's graphics several times on regular paper until the dimensions fit the size of the model. I spray painted the wooden model glossy white and transferred the decals to the model. I didn't have to carve the door or windows, since the decal has the door and windows on it. My grandson has his birthday present of 'Gramp's Pod' on a shelf over his bed. ------------- tsunami |
