That parrot is awesome! That is some damn fine work olddog. Im soon to be the proud owner of the best parrot I've seen. Thank you so so so so much.
I cant wait to get my hands on it and I know it will help me to get those cuts right.

Your generosity is a credit to this forum.

Thanks again. I owe you a few!

olddog,
Do you recon each peice would be a one of a kind (depending on your mood)?

Or will you stick to a model/template?

$100.00...........Wish you were my neighbor too!

I received the parrot yesterday (friday) and it is fantastic. The pics dont even do it justice. Thank olddog for taking the time out to do this for me. Its greatly appreciated!

To anyone who is thinking of getting one: It is excellent quality, very very well packaged and its also a great piece of art. Go for it. :D


Thanks Olddog

Thanks for the complements "Cappy".
To get the high polished finish, each piece is polished before assembly, then silver soldered together.
This was just a design that came into my head, but I can build custom designs if required, just email me with a design you would like building and I will see what I can do. ( you can send attachments with email, but not with a PM)

Hey olddog,

I recon your not using a jig for the discharge.

It would seem that the same design is still an original.

When you pass on olddog those peices will be worth millions I'm sure.Just kidding of course.

But I hope you put your mark on them.

I think you should mark them (seriously).

And I'm going to start creating wild mythical rumors about your stilling exploits.

Your legend will grow exponentially and further boost the value of all things "olddog".

Mark them peices.
