Schist Lake Designs

Schist Lake Designs I do this for a hobby, but I will create small custom laser cut wood signs and lake maps for others. Custom 2D and 3D designs for hobbyists.

HO scale model train buildings based on Canadian buildings. Based in Ontario Canada.

Degreaser Car.

3D design and eventual building a car, used by HBMS, that utilized a locomotive frame. From the shop drawings, two parts of the roof came off with the help of a crane. Appears they would put greasy stuff in the car and blast hot water and steam under pressure at the items. Grease collected in the bottom. I have never seen photos of the car, so one wonders if they built it in the 1950's or not. The same frame would be used as a flat car in the 1990's.

Spring is here and the ice is melting off the lakes.
Thinking about adding something to the cabin?
How about a small lake map.
Several versions I have done shown below.
Price range $60 and up.
All custom versions include a backer with hanger, Map layer with lake cut out, 5mm border added.
Title of lake, location of lake or cottage on the lake, name of family that owns the cottage, compass rose, etched roads and railways are options.
There is room on the back to etch an ~ 100 letter dedication of some sort (cabin history, family members as ideas).

Contact me through my page for more information.
