Curved Facia Shelf Layout | River Road Vlog #3
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 06. 2021
- Who says you can't have curved facia on a shelf layout? These are some techniques I use to establish a "French Curve" into an HO Scale Shelf Layout Facia. I also give a quick tip and share a story about Master Carpenters in the Film Industry.
Boomer you are one of the masters, you are taking a life time of deadication and hard work and sharing it all with us. I personally cannot thank you enough for your generosity and effort to make these videos and sharing what youve learnt.
Your sentiments resonate deeply with me about the film industry. I spent the first half, 15 years, of my career in 3D animation and special effects. Anyone who hasn't worked in the industry might not understand the time, dedication and personal sacrifices that goes into it as a professional, learning from the masters inside the industry is a true life long gift.
Like you I happily try to make a difference now with the knowledge gifted to me from the industry and apply the same skills to train the next generation on pipeline, framework and software design inside a very different industry.
When you talk about being trained in carpentry by a mathematician its true across the board. The industry talent still amazes me to this day, and i haven't experienced anything like it since leaving. I had a rocket scientist train me in programming in 3D. Amazing stuff, where else can you learn from creative geniuses.
At the heart of it all is the freedom to be a true creative master in each discipline, which you truly are. To me that defines a master which is exactly how i view your videos, knowledge and how you teach us. Everything you teach us here is priceless industry knowledge.
You are a wonderful teacher and a master in your own right.
Thank you.
Thank you for your eloquent and gracious accolades. I really appreciate it when someone really understands my vision and philosophy concerning the arts in any subject matter.
The model railroad just happens to be the canvas in which I love to express myself. Even when I was in my film profession, as awesome as it was, I still longed to model like this when I got home after a hard days work. Movie models, sets, etc. were fun but they were also different.
Now I feel truly blessed to have the time, skills, and health to practice it and share what I know to the broader community. I would have given my eye-teeth for videos on this craft back in the day. Now I like to pay some back so the younger generation can enjoy it as well.
Anyone can learn to model and create their own little world if they put their mind to it. Furthermore, the personal rewards are indescribable.
Cheers and God Bless
Boomer.
@@boomerdioramait's the least I can do, say thank you for providing us the platform to learn from and helping us create our own little worlds where we can all be creative in our own way.
That's why you are the master, a full day's work was never enough there was still too much to do, amazing work ethic and personal drive behind it all.
Your master classes have provided me with a huge amount of confidence to make purchases I would normally hesitate at.
Over the past 6 months I've purchased a huge amount of paints, solvents, plastic, grasses, etc etc even the onmi 5000, I don't think Makita make the compressor you mentioned any more or I would have got that too lol all in preparation for when I do actually lay my first piece of track.
You have given me the mental freedom and confidence to not rush into a layout and start simply by building up everything for when I will need it over the time my layout takes to create. I'm not one to buy rubbish products either as I would rather buy the right thing the first time and it last a lifetime.
By not rushing into building the layout and watching your videos time and time again, it has given me time to learn and not rush into something and regret it. I have been able to revise and revise and then revise again my layout design saving me a huge amount of time, heartache and money in the long run.
The freedom your knowledge has provided me has set me on a path to still be loving and working on the same layout I've designed in 15 years from now.
I seriously cannot thank you enough for the education and information you are providing us all in your channel and giving us the ability and inspiration to at least have a go and try to do half the job you do.
Many thanks and yes I do feel blessed to have found your master classes.
Cheers Cam
Thank you Boomer! Still watching these bench work videos. My son is coming over this weekend to help me with my bench work.
Awesome! Have fun. Don't forget to pre - drill the holes for the Bus and Accessory wire. ;-)
@@boomerdiorama good point! I probably would have forgotten that! Thank you!
It’s not that I don’t have a house or a basement…. I just don’t have the skills lol. This is woodworking 101 for me 👍
I hope it helps to dispel the myth of advanced carpentry. It is just basic rectangles with an eye-balled curve. Then pin and glue in place with blocks. Build a model of the benchwork first. It helps to shape the confidence. ~ Boomer.
I could listen to you talk about paint drying! To an amateur like me, this is fascinating to learn about. When I build my first serious layout this is the stuff I hope to be able to achieve, and I'm sure your videos will be a big help. Take care!
You can do it!
It's really nice to see how a pretty intricate piece is created without a lot of difficulty when you are working from a tried and proven method as a base to begin with. The journey is a real joy to watch. Great stuff Boomer...
It's also amazing what a few strips of curved 1/8 skin can do to the look of a layout as well . . . Cheers.
With your experience and learned & taught knowledge, Boomer were as a model railroad hobby are blessed to have you with us and thats a solid comment that I'm most sure everybody will agree on. This stuff your showing here in the beginning is just what the doctor ordered for me and I'm going to speak for others as well. Thanks Boomer
Thank You! This is how you pacify the wife when you want to build a model railroad (shelf layout) in the house . . . lol. Make it look like furniture.~ Boomer
@@boomerdiorama
LOL . . . Right on . . . lol 😆
Stunning benchwork! I am seriously in awe.
The foundation is important if you plan to live on it . . . lol. Cheers.
Another great video with lots of great tips. On a previous video you asked us to watch an ad or two. No problem considering the effort you've put into your productions. So now CZcams placed an ad on this video that's 38 minutes long. LOL Sorry, I passed on that ad. We each have our limit.
Oh jeesh Ted . . . that was a jackpot missed for me! . . . lol. No sweat bud, I get it. Cheers ~ Boomer.
Thanks Boomer massive amount of food for thought I to will be passing this on to others this side of the pond 👍😎🚂
Thank You ! A appreciate the shout-out. Cheers ~ Boomer.
I forgot to let you know, as a professional carpenter, that you are doing a very good job. Don't let anybody say other wise. Cheers
Thank You. Just having fun. If it looks like furniture, the wife is pacified . . . lol.
@@boomerdiorama Sorry, I forgot all about the "wife". I live by myself, if that's an excuse.
@@Christiane069 Living alone is O.K. too.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience. I continue to learn with each segment.
Great to hear Ralph. I'm just having fun! Cheers.
Single malt and carpentry! Wow!
Who needs fiction when it exists in the real world? Cheers ~ Boomer
Looks like you had a good teacher, I liked all the cliche's too. At one time I was told the same thing and now I'm the one saying it. Way back in the late 80's I attended a three day workshop with Master Finisher and cabinet maker, George Frank. He was a little French guy the Germans captured and had build fake antiques for them but he was wise and stashed all the real antiques in a warehouse until after the war. I'd have to say he was a very big influence on how I do furniture to this day. Very interesting workshop. Now I'm bragging by telling you I restored a 1957 Chris Craft cruiser for myself and was head carpenter in the restoration of a 1960 Chris Craft runabout, I finished a double sided fireplace in a "Frank Lloyd Wright" styled house on the eastern shore of Maryland and I have a 1300 sqft workshop in my back yard. Lucky you....you have the time and money to do what you love most, I'm still working full time and dreaming of that day.
Thank You for sharing this Robert. I really appreciate hearing from those who are competent in their craft like you described . . . and yes, Chris Craft are awesome boats! This is how you pacify the wife when you want to build a model railroad (shelf layout) in the house . . . lol. Make it look like furniture. It's O.K. to boast a little about your work. I can tell you are good by the way you speak. Cheers ~ Boomer.
@@boomerdiorama It's a labor of love ain't it? ;)
@@robertbeaty4909 It sure is Robert. I love everything about it. The challenges never ends . . .
Simply....fantastic!
Many thanks!
Love it Boomer. Fascia and valence frame our art. Cheers.
Thank You Grant! Quite a compliment coming from you, Cheers bud ~ Boomer.
I like your viewpoint of not using a lot of shop equipment to build a layout.
I only have a basic tool package since I retired from the industry. I have no shop, so I build in the summer outdoors. Nothing stops me bud. Cheers.
Love the enthusiasm. I also like a nice clean and orderly workspace.
Thank You Donald. The clean workspace allows me to concentrate better for sure. It's a good discipline I practice to help to "reset" my thoughts for each day concerning the build, etc. Cheers ~ Boomer.
I'm glad I stumbled on to your channel before I got started on more bench-work. Great stuff!
Awesome! Thank you!
That's quite a toolmakers clamp, love the origami layout..
Indeed!
How I wish I could be your apprentice. Nice sturdy construction and a curvy attraction. Taking notes.
You can do it! This is how you pacify the wife when you want to build a model railroad (shelf layout) in the house . . . lol. Make it look like furniture.
Hi. I've started binge watching your videos recently. Really great production work. So, it appears to me that this video is the only one in which you actually appear... other than your hands :-) Thank you for sharing this valuable information.
Welcome aboard! Cheers.
Nice. Clean and smooth. Well thought out and well executed.
Much appreciated!
This is pretty freakin' cool and next level. The barge scene is going to be huge.
Thank You. The prototype is made to be modelled when you look at the "Google Earth" view: earth.google.com/web/search/Annacis+Island,+Delta,+BC/@49.15969683,-122.94913325,19.90766662a,277.08335623d,35y,22.72588475h,76.79796192t,0r/data=CoQBGloSVAolMHg1NDg1ZDhjMGVmZmUzODY5OjB4NGMyNThiMjcwNDNiMmI0ZhkvoYLDC5ZIQCETY_Q3fLxewCoZQW5uYWNpcyBJc2xhbmQsIERlbHRhLCBCQxgBIAEiJgokCdZtEtDEskhAETL0rzTIiUhAGSnXw4zwl17AIR046mE7117A
Incredible work buddy! Saved the video to go back to when doing my fascia.
Thank You. The actual "finished" facia and valance has not been pinned up yet. I might have to leave the top valance off for now when I lay track especially. I can pretty much finished the lower facia though. But . . . man . . . yeah . . . the curved facia is worth the extra work. It flows beautifully. Makes the layout feel larger as well. Cheers ~ Boomer.
as always I love what you do and the way you say it stay good
Thanks, will do!
This is looking so good! And I love the care and skill you bring to the benchwork, and the way you take your time and do it right or don't bother. There really is a certain level of satisfaction one gets from doing the job the best way you can. It reminded me of a quote:
“When you want to hurry something, that means you no longer care about it and want to get on to other things.”
― Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Thanks for the tutorial video, and looking forward to going along for the ride!
I often wonder when we rush into laying track by skipping a solid foundation we are already on the road to other things. Cheers.
Craftsmanship on insane genius level - speechless like always👍🏻Masterpiece in making.
This is how you pacify the wife when you want to build a model railroad (shelf layout) in the house . . . lol. Make it look like furniture. Cheers ~ Boomer.
Great benchwork tutorial on adding curves to the edge of your layout.
I also just noticed and really like the name change.
I'm glad you like it. Cheers.
I stepped in the time machine from 7mos in the future! My goodness, basic beginnings to fantastic piece of art!
I guess it justifies the $500.00 benchwork so far . . . lol
@@boomerdiorama If you make it, they will come ...
Love seeing the progress and even watching ads for the first time.
Well . . . Bob. That makes you a paying subscriber! Thank You Sir! Cheers ~ Boomer.
It's your layout. Your design, your techniques, your level of quality and, in the whole big scheme of things, the only one who need be satisfied with it is you. Screw the haters because they're not there helping you, are they? It looks good to me
Thank You Paul! Cheers ~ Boomer.
i begged the older fella down the street for wood scraps he dont want or need, he is an amazing wood carver, not even kidding
Keep it up. The squeaky wheel gets the grease eventually. Cheers.
Your build quality is exceptional Boomer, you can see the experience you've 'earned' in your work. I have only seen up close and personal, two true masters in my life, a Japanese tattoo artist and a South African jazz guitar player, humbling and inspirational. You are certainly on that road my friend, another great upload. All the best, Brian.
Thank You Brian. I appreciate the compliments and the support. ~ Boomer.
You said hack, that is the guy at the end of the day stating, you can't see it from my house or it looks good in the rearview mirror. Oh if I had a nickel every time. I saw your bosch jig saw, they are the king. I have the 1581 model from 1991 and it still kicks, I bought a festool for its replacement... Very pricey but you get what you pay for. It would have been nice if I would have ripped good plywood for my framing on this monster I've been on. The track rock and rolls during the winter months bad at times because of soldered joints, back at that time I could have got 7 ply birch for 32 $ a sheet, live and learn. I really admire your carpentry skills on this new build. The parchment paper.... Fantastic! The layers of 1/4 " will be solid as Sears ( back in the day ) Don't be gettin them helpers spanked LOL...... I am still laughing!!
Thanks . . . lol. Hey . . . you bet that Bosch is awesome. Had it now for over twenty five years and can't kill it bro. The birch, yes . . . 65.00 CDN a sheet here in Canada! . . . ouch. I'm going to use 1/4 (5ply) Baltic Birch for the road bed on 3/4 risers. I don't mind a little rock-n-roll on the grade myself. Seems suitable for the short line anyway. Cheers ~ Boomer.
Your skills have made me come alive. I'm still kinda in the burnout mode after work. I gotta say, this bench work is outstanding! Tommy is proud, ( we all like a bimbleman after work ) especially after eating saw dust.
I would have liked to work with the man. I bet, from what you said, sounds amazing! I remember being a pup. Thanks Boomer!
@@kcsns Tommy's basement for wood was also unbelievable. Every kind of hardwood (in droves) one could imagine. I used to sneak over there for a bevy and snag some specimen wood now and a again . . . lol.
@@boomerdiorama haha I bet that was fun!. The boat he built.....oh so amazi ing! I bet he is, and was a tuff nut! Cheers to master that I will never be, I have been around the track a few laps. Glad I found your channel Boomer!
@@kcsns Cheers!
Excellent again - sound seemed to go weird 3 mins in and You tube seems to have gone ad crazy(could be a UK thing)... Just love the curves - giving me so many ideas as I now have an n scale in build in the summerhouse
Thank You. Sounds great. Could be Microsoft video editor as well. They always tweak constantly. Things act weird. Cheers.
A layout is like a house, it needs a good foundation
Feel like printing this quote and put it frame👍🏻
This is how you pacify the wife when you want to build a model railroad (shelf layout) in the house . . . lol. Make it look like furniture. ~ Boomer
Amazing work
Thank You Matthew . . . just keeping up with the Jones' . . . lol. Cheers ~ Boomer
Damn bro, that is some fancy ass benchwork. I'm ashamed to even show my benchwork I'm working on right now.
We all grow. I would be ashamed to show my mentors . . . lol. Cheers bud. ~ Boomer.
Boomer you are a man after my own heart! I love the way you’re building your framework, modular yet not! You got skills my friend, in the driveway you say, well done! How can I contact you about being a guest on one of our shows?
Yes . . . in the driveway. I don't have the luxury of a wood shop anymore. Thank you for the "guest" offer. Unfortunately, I am far to busy right now to accept a guest show appearance. Cheers ~ Boomer.😁
I like the way you made the curved edges of the benchwork. While you are a good carpenter, it shows an option for non-carpenters.
It's basic carpentry when you think about it. Just squares really with a curved plate. eye-balled in.
@@boomerdiorama It is Basic if you can visualize it. I am very lucky in that I can, but I am learning that a lot of people cannot. The way you show it on your benchwork will definitely help a lot of people.
@@HumancityJunction O.K. cool. I know I take it for granted sometimes but I think it's good to show for sure if it helps some. Cheers ~ Boomer.
Awesome vlog and your no longer a mystery we got to see you in this episode lol. Great benchwork and love the curves
Thank you 😁
Until today he was like Wilson, Tim Allen's neighbor in Tool Time.
I know Woodglut has the best woodworking plans.
O.K. . . . Cheers.
NICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You Rex! It's amazing how much layout space you gain with a curved facia. Cheers ~ Boomer
Saw your name in a July 1959 issue of a Railroad hobby magazine. Page 36 ... Boomer Trails, feedback from our readers.
Lol . . . nice one Karl. Cheers ~ Boomer
Doh, a tweeker just stole your saw 🤣
. . . or toasted my belt with a hemlock 2X4 . . . lol.
Ahhh, one of the videos I must’ve missed somehow.
It's all back there ;-)
Loving watching the new layout take shape and seeing the thought process of someone who knows what they're doing! One request though Boomer - could you perhaps invest in a Lavalier mike to make the sound more consistent please? There are parts that are really hard to hear and others that are deafening. A Lavalier would really help :)
Thank You. Yes, I know the sound is questionable at times. I'll look into it for sure.
@@boomerdiorama You might call it a lapel mike over there. You know the ones they use on interviews where the mike clips to clothing around the neck level and a wire runs to a box on the hip. That kind of thing. Not really sure how it syncs with the video though.
@@Road.Tripping O.K. cool. I'll look into it. Cheers.
OMG you made a model of the model, lol
It helps to visualize the design before the actual build. ;-)
im really bad with wood, but i have gotten better once i bought my own miter saw, as ive said before im used to working with steel, usualy 1/4 inch
Keep trying and it comes with each cut. Cheers.
I can see that you have good tastes in arts. I hate to ask if your Picasso is genuine or a copy.
Just a "Google copy bud . . . lol.
that's the way to build your house on the solid foundation (rock) Mat:7 24-27
Amen! Only way to withstand a storm. Cheers ~ Boomer
You need to use your design and switch to pocket screws. Kreg jig. All those angle brackets can stay in the stores . As well as the doublers. Glue permanent joints, don't glue joints that have to come apart.
You have a "L" piece in your video about 12" long made of plywood. If you make it with glue and about 3-4 kreg screws you can drive you car over it. And the last minor benefit is your wood work will look better, be twice as strong, and use less material.
This method is much easier to revise along the way and I can still drive my car over it without the Kreg Jig. It's also very light. Glued joints with pins and corners don't come apart. Not sure what you mean there? Besides, my work day is over long before the Kreg Jig breaks a sweat. Cheers.
Throw away metal brackets and use Kreg pocket screws instead.
@@michaelcurry4855 No way. Corner braces hold the modules together perfectly. Kreg pockets remove too much wood in Birch Plywood. Feel free to use Kreg, we never used them in film and they still don't. Cheers.
😊
Cheers . . . and Cheers.~ Boomer.
Just Remember the KISS method.. square and level at all times..
You bet yah comrade . . . cheers ~ Boomer.
Looks awesome love the french curves and that corner is solid...😀
@@mattausterberry2323 I want a nice place to sit when I sip my espresso coffee in the morning!
Yeah it could probably hold a keg of molson canadian eh...😉
How are going to reach that far corner?
What do you mean? The facia "casing" is stacked like a brick wall to the end of the layout, if that is what you mean.
The corner that held the blue buildings, it appears that it's out of reach now.
@@hondachopper6978 It's a stretch for sure.
Alot you foing.Want to see finish job.🚂🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞
