A Pace Stick stand made for an old boss' husband who has just been made a Sergeant Major. Most of those that are made are a simple base and two boards standing at 90 degrees with a notch in them and have burgundy felt to protect the Pace Stick. I've added a WW2 REME Capbadge and a current one. A mobile phone rest is at the back. A brass name plaque will be added by his wife. It's made in White Oak and stained cherry because Cherry is very expensive, especially for the thickness I needed.*

* A Pace Stick, for those that don't know, is the 'stick' that Sergeant Majors carry around with them. It is seem as one of the accoutrements of office. It opens up to be used for measuring the 'pace' or 'step' during foot drill.

I could do with one of them monitor risers for my desk.

Here's a Key box I made as well that I recently completed. Painted a nice design for the front too on a piece of glass.

I am fairly new to the forum & woodworking in general.
I am now in the fortunate position where I have been able to borrow a workspace & begin to make something.
I appreciate that none of what I have made is anywhere near the level of most of what I see on this site, but we all have to start somewhere & I am happy so far, although I feel I am at the bottom of a very steep learning curve.

First came the coffee table, mainly made using hand tools.

Then came the cupboard, made from recycled window sills. I really bit off a bit more than I could chew, but I got there in the end.

Last week I made the book stand, as a Birthday present.

Finally the best thing I have made to date, which arrived on Wednesday, so no more woodwork for a few days!

Ah! Sweet!

If I'd have made the cupboard or the table as my first projects I'd have been very proud - they look fab! Well done.

Really like your work, mind you I don't think you claim all the credit for the last one!

Hand tools are quiet so you should be able to do a bit between feeding and sleeping.

It's made from a thicker piece of wood with most of the waste bandsaw off and the corner shaped with rasps files sandpaper scrapers etc.
The birch is very soft so it gets a coat of superglue to harden it.

Thanks Pete, I suspected that was the case, but thought I should check in case you said - "yeah, I simply steamed the corner and used a thigamebob to raise it", or something else that made me look like a total novice.

Love it. Cheers.
 
Gianluca, please tell me all those gears are functional! It looks amazing, good work!
