No, I got some machined American Oak.
(I didn't own a planer when I made them last year).
Sorry - not quite last thing I made, but I've not posted piccies on here before and I'm rather proud of them.

agree something to be proud of. Keyboard and music, what are your interests?

Made for my son, a songwriter, artist, producer.

Coley, the chamfer that you've put around the rim of the plant pots is a clever touch that works on so many levels, it helps shed rain, it lightens the look, and it emphasises the "petal" type arrangement of the rim that's of course dead right for the application. Ingenious and original use of scrap, well designed, well crafted...nice job!

Made a wooden handle for my bevel gauge:

Cheese-board made from wood scrounged out of neighbour's skip
Mouse inlay Mahogany, outer Pine
Chance to try out my new Metabo random orb disc sander; excellent !

I made a simple block for my bandsaw, it lifted my lower blade guides up from their low, low position into a much better one, made a difference in blade guiding I felt. This was mk.1, there's going to be a better version, the block was just something I had handy but really the grain orientation could be the other way, and a piece without pith would have been better, also a thrust bearing, these guides really primitive. I wonder when only side guides where normal on bandsaws, when did thrust bearings on both top and bottom become the norm?

Fire surround for the mother in-law.
MDF, mitred box construction.
Spray painted in a custom colour matt 2k.
It's all in separate pieces for transportation and to be fixed together when we get there.

 

[skronk]

Nice fireplace n0legs.

Mother in law is ALWAYS a gamble... (hammer) (hammer) (hammer) . I always think of her when I hear "Maxwells Silver Hammer"

My son is a LARPer [live action role play IIRC] and keeps asking for various bits of equipment making.
Well I finally got round to making one, an armour stand.
It's nothing special, it'll stand in a field and get knocked about a bit, but I think it looks the part and I enjoyed making it. [I might even get orders ]

Very nice, curious about the armour though - the segmented Cuirass and Pauldrons looks semi Samurai style (try saying that 3 times fast when drunk!), but the Helm is a different, more european style.

Lawn chair, sitting inside so the glue can harden properly, still too cold outside for that:

Made from recycled construction lumber, some sanding, staining and oiling next.

I don't know what you're on about Rafe! :mrgreen:
Mind you, I could do with a version of this in my bedroom. It would save me using coat hangers suspended from the wardrobe handles, :lol:

It's a nice, functional, piece of woodwork. BTW!

LARP is not in anyway historical, so it's probably whatever fits the character/budget.

And yes, LARP = Live Action Role Play. A hobby I indulged in for about 15 years. Good laugh in it's own way.

OK, it didn't take a lot of making, just some cleaning, sanding the base and drilling out the hole (Which was really tough actually, the interior wood was really hard and my forstner bit in a pillar drill had a hard time cutting into it - lots of smoke from it as well. I ended up doing it in short bursts to allow it to cool a bit), but I like the end result:

 

[woodfarmer]

I needed a rack for my bike, also guards for the throw over luggage. Made from stainless steel (EN316) some left over from a boat I built back in the late '80s as were the rods which are way past their best.

 

[Racers]

I once saw a home made rack on a Honda step through, they had used the rear axle as a mounting point! it did look a bit bouncy.
