Dw if that comment was meant for me than it means alot !! When I first signed up to ukworkshop many years ago I read endless posts of yours making fantastic things out of the smallest of offcuts. You've got an entire rack dedicated to what can be from small pieces of wood.

Memories, now I struggle to remember things like the formula for cutting rebated picture frames, age is just around the corner,and I am finding the tissue manufacturers have changed the dimensions (depth) of their boxes and I wonder if I will get many returns. I might need offcuts to tack to the bottom of many boxes.

Good times have been had in my workshop and even international invitations to visit fellow hobbyists abroad. (One comming to visit us in a few days time from Sydney)

One of the things I like about forums is in theory all our posts should be around for many many years. I made several things for my workmates kids and it's nice now to be able to show him wip's of how it was made all those years ago . Some of it I'd already forgot !

That's a nuisance about them changing the box dimensions. So they've made the new boxes smaller ?
I remember also being fascinated by Wizers almost hunger for woodworking. He made it seem alright to be geeky/nerdy with wood. Im hoping he still dabbles.

It's nice to here woodworking has helped forge new international friends. Definitely easier to get on with some who shares similar interests.

D.W I did the rebates on the spindle just for ease and speed [WINKING FACE] time will tell if I've allowed a big enough gap, or whether it'll explode when it gets rained on

I really like that planter. Where did you get the drum from?

Here's something I just finished Oak Owls turning on my lathe and then carved.

Nice work Coley

Like the handrail offcuts for legs.

you have a great talent! I especially like the Trojan horse you made =D>

 

[monkeybiter]

The owls are good Doris, nice attractive shape/style, have you put a finish on them?

Thank you. Your kind words mean a lot

Yeah only a coat of linseed. I want to use something a bit more durable because they will be put outside eventually. I'm thinking yacht varnish, but something tells me they may look too shiny.

My bank holiday weekend project thrown together for the grand old Wickes sum of £66.25, not counting screws and Gorilla glue. I'm VERY happy with them, they've created so much space and are obviously infinitely more sturdy and stable then the two Black & Decker Workmates I was struggling with before.

 

[Benchwayze]

Neat and sturdy. Nice one!

Have you tried carving after you've oiled, it can turn oak into cheese.
Also it shows up all the surface blemishes, which can be a good thing, unless you've already declared it finished. #-o

Doris, those owls are brilliant.
I am continually amazed at your ability to capture the essence of your subject without having to include fine detail.
Then, of course, the foresight to 'see' just how a turning and carving can be so well combined.
Well done, an inspiration.

A very recent carving of mine.

This Pig is in Lime with American Black Walnut eyes. The finish is Shellac sealer with wax.

That's excellent Geoff; if it was bigger it would be very well done, but as small as that is very impressive.
I like that finish, it emphasises the contours well while still looking 'soft'.

 

[xy mosian]

Thanks Mike. I keep trying hoping to improve.

That's an awesome little piggy Geoff. Very well done sir. Boggles my mind how some on here can bring bits of wood to life like you can when I struggle to saw and plane it square!
