30th June 2014 - Where there's a will there's a Wagon

Thought for the day:
"In Crucial Things - Unity
In Serious Things - Diversity
In all Things - Generosity"

A sensible thought for the end of June....

So, another month ends and we find ourselves half way through the year and downhill all the way to Christmas. Glastonbury is over, World cup and Wimbledon are almost over and there may, just may, be some television back on our sets in due time...

Yesterday included some practical workmanship again, and some effort on the Voll's Wagen. The exterior is about finished now - requiring some form of catch to close it and secure the door open so that it can hold the zither or lyre.... But some use of stain and varnish and the exterior now has a name...

[previously - the concept] 

Decided that the VW logo would be appropriate and a little funny so started with the W and the circlet.

Added in the V over the top and taped off the circle and cleared the surface.

A bit of judicial staining across the entire logo ....

Then for the front, we have the motif id the Western Alliance for Mythodea. The original is coloured but this one will be just the outline.

The bottom is completed  - only needing some more varnish ....

And the completed carry-all ... Only need to do the inside, carpet and felting and then see how many instruments we can pack inside before it all falls apart......

Might try some of that today... see if the weather holds...
