Projects making my own turtle deck

I decided to make my own 26/27 model t turtle deck. I have got the buck almost done.

 

Wow. Thats so nice you could paint it,and be good to go. Keep us up dated as you form the metal.

 

Now that is nice craftsmanship.
Pure Hot Rodding.

 

Wow, that would be interesting to see the buck build also.

 

In 2021 lumber dollars, that's a $1000 buck!

 

If your woodworking skills are any indication of your metalworking skills.....it's gonna be a beauty!
You might want to consider selling complete turtledecks. There is a market!
Keep us updated with pics, please!!

 

Is that wider than stock?

 

No it’s standard size

 

I found someone that had an original turtle desk so I made a template from it and went from there.

 

I've been contemplating this myself. Watching closely.

 

Very nice, can't wait to see the results

 

Very nice woodworking skills there.

 

I like that. Mine turned out a little weird as i couldn't find the sizes anywhere so just made them up in my head.
(message me a few dimensions if you want?)

 

I'm sure someone would buy that to make one when you are done with it.
Nice job

 

For sure, I also am sure the OP could market built decks if so inclined.

 

Beautiful work!

 

Lamination Creation!

 

We could use you at the Chris Craft forum my friend! Nice work.

 

Great woodworking skills.
I could see a Woodie build in your the future..if you were so inclined.

 

Beautiful woodwork! Can't wait to see the metal! Steel or aluminum?

 

Amazing workmanship !

 

Excellent! PLEASE continue, maybe I will learn something!!!!!!!

 

That looks great! Looking forward to seeing the deck come together. Please posts lots of pics, we love pics!

 

Another great reason to check out the HAMB. I'll be watching with interest. Looks great so far.

 

Wouldn't it be nice if someone made a good reproduction '26/'27 turtle deck?

Hey... what the...

Please make one for me!

 

Wow!!!! Any more details on the buck. I assume stacking the wood allowed you to shape it the way you wanted it. How do you keep both sides equal so they are the same in the contures?

 

Thats a ton of MDF. Literally, whats it weigh!? Very nice work!!!

 

Very nice. Ron Covell has a teaching series on building a complete 27 roadster body from aluminum however I think you could use the same techniques with steel.
It's a very good series.

 

Simply beautiful! Subscribed.
