    The new year is always an exciting time as it's a good opportunity to develop some new work and explore some new techniques. Here are a couple of sketches and a mono print based around board track racer Albert "Shrimp" Burns.

    (sketchbook page)

    ""Shrimp" Burns was one of the top dirt and board track racers of the 1910s and early '20s. The diminutive Burns rode for both the Harley-Davidson and Indian factory teams during his career. He was the youngest champion of his era, winning his first titles at the tender age of 15. "

    (Mono print, etching ink on Bristol Board)

    Mono print is a technique I've been wanting to get to grips with for a while. It consists of painting directly onto a sheet of glass with an oil based etching ink. A piece of paper is then laid on top of the sheet and rubbed to press the ink onto the paper. The advantage of using glass as a printing plate is that you can place a sketch underneath it as reference as seen by the mirrored image above.

    Hello, this is my first post here. Hav'nt ever showed this to anyone but friends and family. Took me a year to build this FED. Frame is all stainless tig wire, front wheels are throwing stars, back wheels are solid pipe with valve handles in the centers. The blown injected hemi is all made of pipe fittings. I wired the correct firing order and put a vaccum cleaner belt on for the blower. The valve covers are solid steel, used a hack saw to make the fins. Headers are stainless tubing. The steering works, has gauges and steering wheel under the stainless body. Thing weighs a ton, hope you guys like. Rusty[​IMG]

    Thanks for the nice comments, not sure what scale it is. Just built the dragster to fit the motor. Always build the motor first. The whole thing is about 2 ft. long, 8 in. wide. Probably 30 lbs. Thanks Rusty

    Hand-made knife to rough them out and a Foredom Flex Shaft machine with a 42 Handpiece and misc. carbide burs, for the finish work. That's the secret, now lets see some other pistons next week! Remember, just like in a car build, the weakest metal always surrenders first:)
