Post a photo of the last thing you made

Made this house-warming present for a friend of mine... It'll always be wine o'clock at her house now. :-D

Ha ha excellent. I can think of a few people who'd like one of them...

I found an excellent eBay seller who will, if they aren't listed, mix & match spindle length and hand sizes to suit your clock.

Anyone that wants it, these are the plans I drew up ...

Printed on A4, makes a 13'' diameter clock (almost).

Add some purpleheart slices as wine Naz.

I made an air filter for the shed.
A couple of 4" extractor fans, a G4 pleated filter and some MDF.
In the trial period at the moment, but so far seems to work well.

Like this mate. =D> Keep us updated on performance. I've wondered before about knocking something like this together as a slightly more expensive alternative to my other dust dispersal technique of keeping the shed door open.

Finished this little table, not bad seeing as I started it in 2015 :roll:
Made of hemlock, douglas fir and an unknown hardwood. All done with hand tools for a change, well except for the sanding :lol:
I call it the "Leftovers table".

Thanks. She moved in today so now I have to hope it doesn't get mashed in the post.

My second baby mobile. I turned some hot air balloons on my lathe out of old rolling pins I think.

The quality of design and finish looks really good there Doris.

I checked the filter today, compared to an unused filter it seems to have trapped a lot of dust. About 5 weeks since installing

Where did you get your filters from No Legs?
I'm thinking of making a cabinet to house a dust extractor with one of those in the door to do a final polish to the air as it leaves the cabinet.

finally finished a giant sized bookshelf, it measures 46 5/8 " high and 45 1/2" wide with 11" deep shelves, lots of laminating involved, lots of cursing during glue up and it took me about 2-3 weeks, I also needed some new long clamps for this beast, there's a couple of mistakes, but I will correct this for the next time I make one, mostly cutting a bit too much off one of the dado's at the front, and I tried my hand at butterfly keys for the first time after noticing a pretty big crack, using some Honduran mahogany I got from a turning blank, now I just have to decide on a finish and it's done. I've already used de-waxed shellac as a sanding sealer sanded to 240 grit, I could go with pure tung oil, shellac and wax or varnish, paint,

For my next project I'm going to make something a lot smaller learnt a lot from doing this and it's something I genuinely need. The bottom shelf/space is designed to fit DVD's and blu-rays and the other shelves are for my books, finally they can all be in one place.

I like the use of the keys there; they're probably not needed structurally but they turn a defect into a point of interest rather nicely but because the wood colours aren't an enormous contrast, they don't draw the eye to it unnecessarily. Nice balancing act, that.
