Post a photo of the last thing you made

Just finished this Beech and Black Walnut chopping board. It was my first attempt at making an end grain board, but I'm fairly happy with how it turned out.. although it did make me wish I had a table/track saw to make life easier

Nice tight glue lines, very clean chamfering, precise alignment.

Doesn't get better!

variety in my designs makes them more unique so the posted pics are the same design but altered

all made from american maple and walnut

Those are some very classy bandsaw boxes WA!! I haven't made any for ages. What blade do you use, 1/4" 6 tooth skip??

Nice one mate!!

 

[woodaxed]

thanks i use a 1/8" 14tpi thin blade 0.018" i get the blades from Dakin Flathers

 

[Jonzjob]

I've never used smaller than a 1/4" 6 skip. It does all of the jobs I need, but then I have not tried owt quite like yours.

This is one of the last ones I made. It's a money box and before we moved over it was always a popular thing at craft fairs. I did all of the letters asked for





But this is my favourite. The ear comes off to get at the millions inside :mrgreen:

As I'm lacking useable wall space I threw together this mobile clamp rack from spare structural timber I had lying around. Going to come in really handy! Will also make a permanent container on the bottom for things like glue.

I agree I am especially impressed with the sharpness of it all.

I needed a meat pounder so I made one from a piece of oak and rowan wood for a handle:

Quite please with it, a small and handy little mallet, I think I should make another for use with a chisel.

HI Woodaxed,
I have looking at Alexams boxes and now yours and I think that it is time for me to have a go but I dont think my saw would take such a small blade (sip-14")what saw do you use??

Peter.

"knocked" this up over the weekend - no skills required (not a joint in sight) and I was scavenging for scraps close to the end The plywood I had for this is terrible - mostly gaps and wafer!

What are the black boxes in the rolling cabinet. I'm looking for some storege ideas.

Hi

Sorry I missed your reply till now

They are Stanley Fatmax XL Pro Organiser 1-93-293

I bought some a long time ago from Costco when they were significantly cheaper than anywhere else. Since then have refused to pay anything more than that - even though I wanted more. They are good and sturdy - unlike the slightly cheaper Fatmax alternatives.

Got the remaining 6 from my-tool-shed.co.uk for 20quid a piece. http://www.my-tool-shed.co.uk/p13843/St ... _info.html

I've also printed out some different trays for them to hold some of my more fiddly bits. Am looking at dividing them vertically in some cases also. http://blog.defsdoor.org/fatmax-storage ... ble-trays/

Carbide lathe tool. £5.00 for the insert and about £1.80 for the steel, 12p for the Torx screw. :lol: I may turn an Ash handle for it but in the meantime I'll use one of my collet handles.

 

[Ttrees]

Cobbled a few gooseneck lamps together
Nowhere near as great a design as the angle poise though.
Its not possible to stretch over and point downwards
so guessing it has to be like this to not blind you /not collapse .
Maybe its more suited to being behind you , provided you don't touch it ..
at least Ive clearing some of the clutter up

I made these crates a while ago and finally found a use for them

My workmate kindly donated the brace and a coach screw in the end fits the jack which was also a gift from a very nice chaps scrap metal pile ( Thanks Tom)
The idea was to put a second layer of timber on the back for strength and also to tie the stiles of the doors together. Unfortunately it's outside now and I'm not sure I can be bothered :lol:
All the wood was leftover from random jobs so the only real cost was the polycarbonate and the removable pin hinges. Just need nature to silver it a bit now, and the seeds to start growing !

Cheers
Coley

Here's my latest Schwibbogen, designed by my better half and I for her friend using CorelDraw and Googled clipart/silhouettes. Took me 10 hours including the cutting (6.55mm Birch Ply,) varnishing, gluing and wiring. It's 35cm x 19cm in size.

Lovely work

My wooden version of the Bedlam Cube puzzle.

There IS a use for scraps after all.

 

[Jonzjob]

Looks interesting!!

My effort today was to take a square stick and make it round



2" square 3.1 metres long to 2" and 2.6 metres long. I have another one to do as well, as soon as I get some more belts for my Bosch sander. The old ones kept on giving up and breaking at the join. I can't understand it? They were only about 12 years old :shock: :shock:

They will be the new curtain poles for our lounge window, 5 metres wide. At the moment we have 35mm poles and they ain't strong enough, but would make a quite reasonable bow! I am also making the rings, all 40 and the fitments too. this is it

Made this for my Mum's birthday.

That's really nice Naz.

Wow! You're making them round by sanding? How long is that taking?

This is one of those jobs that you'll spend hours and hours on and almost nobody will appreciate the effort when they see the end result. Could you not take the edges off on a bandsaw to start with?

I suspect the rings will take you some time as well. How will you do them?
