Post a photo of the last thing you made

[8squared]

Made 19 of these with my kids as gifts for their teachers...

I thought they were just a nice little gift... their teachers thought they were special because unlike the tonnes of chocolates and bottles of wine they had, the kids had put effort into them.

Those Christmas trees are great. Getting kids to make something it very satisfying for them (and for you no doubt)

Last thing I made : 2 boxes for my kids' first tool kits which they'll be getting as Christmas presents.

I used a technique of printing a mirror image of the text onto the shiny side of some label backing paper and then using this to transfer onto the ply (more detail in this thread -> lettering-for-toolbox-birch-ply-t84863.html)

Cheers

Merry Christmas

Mark the letterings turned out better than I thought it would, I follow Steve Ramsey on YouTube, when I first saw him do this I was going to make wine/port/whiskey boxes for chrsitmas with the recipients name on, unfortunately time was against me, had I known it would have looked as good I would have found the time.

Merry Christmas

Hi Dodge,
That's a super bookcase you have made. I have plans to make a bookcase in Sapeli. It would be first venture with this species. Is the grain difficult to work? I've read it is a very hard wood.
Regards,
John

Starting to look a bit like a bookcase now. Although I wish I'd just bought a Kindle instead

 

[Cordy]

First box I've ever made; to house a Makita plane which I bought new from eBay
MDF 9 mm; I made a groove with router to take base of box, finished off with water-based paint left over from bedroom project
