Nice bench PopaDom, those vices can be used perfectly well for a lot of woodworking tasks despite not being traditional.
I made this a couple of months ago and by now, after a few coats of polish and letting the brass tarnih a bit it's starting to look more at home.
Walnut with brass corner guards and handles. Twenty pieces of hardware to flush mount and over One hundred brass screws to drive and clock, which took the majority of the time. I used "full blind" dovetails at the corners so the only end grain on show is a thin lip visible from the side but not too noticeable. I didn't quite trust my mitres to do a secret mitre dovetails but maybe next time. Unfortunately I couldn't get wrapping grain out of the timber I had but since it's round corners I don't think it matters too much.

Buy them.
My interpretation of a Puffin as a commission for a baby girl. Carved out of a lump of lime I did a trade with member phillip (thank you once again). Still lots of offcuts to play around with too.
Feet haven't been painted yet upon customers request as they want to do it.

That looks awesome Doris!
We're lucky in that puffins come to Shetland in their droves and you can get right up next to them - literally within touching distance. I'm not a twitcher by any means but they are always worth going to see as they are such characterful wee things. Love the carving Doris!

No skills required!
Luckily
Pair of katangas come shelves for utility room.
Builders merchants (i.e. knotty and twisted) PAR 7x1 and 4x1, 69p hooks from amazon and a tin of chalk paint.
Simple: cut to length, edge with chamfer bit in router, screw together, paint. Wall fixings under end hooks.
