Post a photo of the last thing you made

[thetyreman]

here's my latest piece, another TV Cabinet, american white oak top scraped and oiled with tung oil, and the base is pine painted with eggshell oil paint, it's made to measure the space, it may look the same as the last one I made but it's actually quite different dimensions, the whole build took about 10 days, happy with how it turned out although I'm a bit knackered now.

Hello,

Yes, the silver tip are the ones I use.

Russian Constructivism was something I liked many years ago , Naum Gabo was who I really liked amongst others who I forget now. I'll have to rekindle that interest again, thanks for reminding me.

Mike.

MikeG - your advice made me think hard about the strength of the table and I altered the design to include the second layer of cross members to begin to deal with it - and tbh I think I prefer it this way. I'm sure it's still not strong but it's got to be better than it was. I really appreciate your comments, you can't possibly apologise! And thanks. C

Thanks Mike - they're in the basket! If you get a chance, maybe take another look at Rodchenko and El Lissitzky - they're the ones whose sculptural works I'd like to explore a bit through wood. Great stuff! C

Finished one of Richard Maguire's tables:

Now with added stegasaur!

Looks ace Mark - did the ebonising come out how you wanted?

 

[MarkDennehy]

It did; it effectively looks like a black background that someone's drawn the grain on with an oak-coloured mechanical pencil. I would have liked longer to work on the finishing, but it was a gift for someone in work and because of how holidays worked out this year, today was my last day in the office so it was either call it done or come into work to drop it off and I didn't want to do that

Hi All.
This is my first post and I wish to say hello.
I am power electronics engineer and just start with woodworking. I am reading this forum for over a year now and during this year I did some small and bigger projects (Paul Sellers bench, saw vice, some workshop cabinets etc.).
I wish to show you my last project.
This are cutting boards for Christmas gifts. I made them from oak. It's 23mm calibrated oak I bought from British Hardwoods.
Boards are made with hand tools only, as I am learning using hand tools.
Finished with "Chestnut Food Safe Oil" mineral oil.

Very nice cutting boards busob; particularly like the rounded one in the middle

 

[giantbeat]

not sure if it was the last thing i made but certainly the last thing i dispatched.

Bandsaw box for necklaces (or keys I guess) made from a walnut offcut, some brass and pewter hardware and some felt.
Didn’t turn out too badly.

 

[fiveeyes]

nice box, Mark

Some beeswax polish, some beeswax finish and a pencil case...

 

[paulrockliffe]

Made a picture frame for part of my Wife's present. Pretty pleased with the mitres , they're not perfect, but close. But first attempt and used a combination square without the ruler in it to convert my shooting board to 45 degrees so wasn't really set up for a perfect job.

Needs a quick sand and finishing later today.

 

[ScaredyCat]

Better get a move on, not long left until it needs wrapping up.

 

[paulrockliffe]

I've just put two coats of shellac on and waxed it, and just need to temporarily fix the picture in with a couple of pins then it's done until I can buy a piece of glass.

Crimbo pressie for a musical friend who is coming over this evening. Finished this morning! Phew!

They are ripple sycamore and ebony, with stainless steel flanges. Many, many thanks to custard and Pete for your generosity.

The bookends should have been an inch taller, but I cocked up the dovetails. I wasn't happy with them so I cut them off and dominoed instead. Better a good dom than a poor DT, I reckon.

The sycamore is lacquered, but it's a bit shiny, I might tone it down a bit when it is properly hard. The ebony is just burnished. I did lacquer that too, but it looked horrible, so I stripped it all off.

 

[MarkDennehy]

Glad to know someone else only finished theirs this morning... the lacquer is drying on a few of mine right now

Very nice Steve.
