Spot on."Dad, will you make me a sword?"
"No, but I'll help you make one..."
Held her interest for two entire hours, which of you recall what having an 8 great old is like, is pretty amazing.
Really sorry for the reason behind making this but it’s a work of art, you should be so proud,And yes, it’s exactly what it looks like. Asked to make this by a friend two weeks ago, who is no longer with us. Quite an honour to be asked.

Thats beautifulBowl from a silver birch burr and resin in-fill. 95mm high by 140mm wide. Can't quite get the silky look of the wood in the photographs.

Well done Phil I guarantee you will have shed a tear or two while making that.Asked to make this by a friend two weeks ago, who is no longer with us. Quite an honour to be asked.
Thats a great bench houtslager. Look very solid and I like the length.... RobWell, as I'm going to be here more often and for longer periods due too my dad's illnesses and pestering to help run his business, selling old used furniture and bits .
I needed a mancave / workshop .
So, have the mancave but need a bench to work on, fed up of the old door on trestles.
This is my third self build bench, and just for the **** of it, thought I'd go for using joinery grade redwood for a change. Still got a couple of things to sort out - like a large leg vice, a couple of sliding deadmen and then I'll slap some old wardrobe finish on it all

Great looking bench. What do you think of the Ryobi palm router? It's on my palm router possibles list.Well, as I'm going to be here more often and for longer periods due too my dad's illnesses and pestering to help run his business, selling old used furniture and bits .

That grain is amazing. I don't think it's walnut though. It's similar to Hawthorne. I can see your next job - bowl display shelf.I was given a small trunk of what I think is Walnut? Unfortunately it had several cracks and rot and after a careless catch destroyed one bowl, I ended up with one tiny bowl....

It looks like Yew to me. A nice job whatever it is.I was given a small trunk of what I think is Walnut?
I always try and give an item back to the person who donated the log, so far no one has rejected it and has always resulted in more wood, so win win. I’ve got quite used to the look of sheer delight on my wife’s face when I come in with “another bowl”That grain is amazing. I don't think it's walnut though. It's similar to Hawthorne.

Not bad for 18v. Be nicer if I can find a 8mm collet for it, as most of my bits are 8mm but then I'd go for the Makita 18v though twice the cost.Great looking bench. What do you think of the Ryobi palm router? It's on my palm router possibles list.
