Aha! It didn't look like letter carving, but I've never seen a router template with a serif typeface. Hey, if it works then it works, the results are all that matters and the results look terrific!

Thanks very much. It means a great deal coming from you. Most of my stuff is standard joinery, so the CNC cuts MDF profiles for swept head windows, and the like. It's kinda groovy to use it for fun projects.

I bought a cast iron horse head to go on the face of my shed.

It looked a bit busy so I removed the surround and put a plate on the back so it could be mounted on its own.

Couldn't let it go hungry :lol: I might fill it up with coir matting and plant a few flowers or perhaps just fill it up with plastic carrots.
I'm finding I getting really bored in the evenings now. Dark nights just make me feel lazy so I'm almost having to force myself back in the workshop.

As a mate of mine says "that's a bit of me there" (I like it a lot)
Unfussy, solid, honest and will last a lifetime =D>

You might be on to a winner there Coley.

Some of the least challenging but most profitable work I do is "equestrian furniture", I get brought in a couple of times a year by a local architect who specialises in designing dream private stables, I make bespoke bridle racks, saddle stands, mounting steps, and all manner of horsey paraphernalia out of unnecessarily extravagant timbers like Walnut, Mahogany or Teak, usually with a lot of dovetails, letter carving and hand rubbed varnished finishes. Madness, but it covers the bills and subsidises some more interesting stuff.

Hello all, I had some scaffolding boards left over from my garage build so I built a work bench...finished with polyx "terra" tints left over from the house renovation..

In essence it was free, and is jolly sturdy!

Made a 'Yarn Tree' for a relative who knits. Wood is sycamore, pivot is an old roller-blade bearing. Height about 7".

Whip the lower shelf out of that and you've got a pretty cool looking dining table... well I think so anyway :lol:

"Rustic" cheese press.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it

Well the last thing I made was a module cup cake stand. It's made with 9 different size circles so you can have a combination of sizes. Up to 7 tiers. It all comes apart for storage. I also made the trammel for my router to cut them all out with.

I'm quite pleased with the trammel as it's infinitely adjustable and worked really well.

My wife made the cake, I'm not skilled with decorating!

As above, a couple of stools of european oak. Starting with two 30mm. thick boards everything else done by hand.

The spindles made with a No.5, a block plane, wooden spokeshave, and scraper.
Seat was shaped with a small hollowing plane, spokeshave, and scraper.
Finish is spirit stain, shellac sanding sealer and chilled wax.

Thanks for looking,
xy

Excellent result of an awful lot of hard work. I'd be far too lazy to leave the machines turned off.

Thanks monkeybiter. I actually prefer the piece and quiet of hand work. That and the fact I don't have a useable lathe at the required size.
I did spend time trying to work out how to use a pole lathe with a low foot lift. I think I have it but it will need to wait until next year now.

Well done xy, they look nice =D> =D> =D>

I saw a stool like that last week at the Devon Guild of Craftsmen http://www.crafts.org.uk priced at £825 but it didn't look as nice as yours :roll:

Well done, shaping a seat with through tenons is hard work!
