Just a little workshop upgrade; I noticed a couple of weeks ago that my dust extractor actually has a 200mm inlet, but came with a 150mm reducer stuck in it, so today I upgraded the run to the first Y to 200mm, and the first Y is now 200 to 2x150. Spot the difference - there's a noticeable increase in suction at the machines. Next step is to upgrade around the mitre saw hood to rigid duct.

Very nice pens. Who is the supplier for those particular kits? I've made two camouflage pens for my wife but she can never find them

Did you make the inlay or is that something you buy?

The Sycamore inlay that I used on this box was bought from Andrew Crawford
https://www.smartboxmaker.com
He doesn't seem to have them on his website at the moment but if I were after some I'd e-mail him.
I have also used them from here on other boxes:

Padster, the bowl looks very good and similar to a bowl I made from some chestnut. Well done.

Those boxes look incredible. Can't believe how dark the Sycamore is compared with the Walnut. Congratulations! 🖒🖒🖒
Well done! It looks like shoe storage is next on your list!I made this wardrobe for my mrs to house her ever increasing bag collection. I learnt a lot making this and got a load of browny points.

Customer wanted to do something to cover an unused doorway, it's quite a grand place and I was pretty much given free rein

Of course the wall was a long way out so I made up the carcass and fitted it temporarily so I could scribe the front to the angle of the wall
We all love a workshop shot so we can have a nosey so here you go
Fitted it today, shelves to go in yet. It is made to match some other bits around the house but their daughter commented that it looks like it belongs in The White House, I think that's a compliment

So I've had a productive afternoon today, one of the teachers is expecting her first baby and has been feeling a bit nervous so I thought I would make something for her, so a few days ago I started with a piece of spalted oak and a piece of very light oak and today ended up with a fairly big rattle, it's too big to be used by baby and I don't have any toy safe finishes so I also made a stand for it to sit on and be displayed if they wish, I presented it to her this afternoon and she absolutely loved it.
I also mounted a piece of butchers block that I was given by @Mick p when I had the pleasure of visiting him last year, turned into a thick bottomed dish, sanded to 320 and finished with walnut oil
