I made an oak sliding box in between christmas/new year, this was a gift for my brother, I used some of custards quartersawn oak for the base, the rest is american white oak, it was really appreciated.

I think that is a lovely reliquary . !

And there was me going to ask about the angle of the iron... :lol:

Not even in the same league as that router plane above, but...

I dunnooooo Naz..... I reckon I know which one would get used more down my shed.

I wanted a low/wide front knob for my 5 1/2 and having only turned spindles on the lathe before I decided to have a bash at making one myself. I had a lump of Leadwood kindly given to me by Custard which was perfect - it came out pretty well in the end and was definitely a useful exercise in learning more about turning.

Bit of a mad, arty experiment. Huge end grain yew bowl, still a couple of coats to go before it'll be completely even.

Note the captive bit of oak, wonder how old that is!

That's an amazing piece of wood. Love the Oak inclusion.

that would make an amazing eccentric sink in a bathroom.

youre the second person to say that. this ones a bit of an odd shape but I will bear that in mind, ive got another chunk from the same trunk.

Ok, so not up to all your standards but I did make something that's going to be used (as a firewood store in living room) I haven't permamently affixed the top yet as I'm unsure as to the best way to do it. Any assistance with that greatly appreciated.

Contact adhesive should do it.

Dowel & glue along the centre, leaving the edges floating to allow for expansion. Looks great by the way, nice one

Nothing too exciting as i'm not very creative... i try and think of something nice to make but struggle so i usually mess about and make things like these...


Made from pine i wanted to try slightly burning it but don't have a torch so used the burners on the cooker... didn't work too well.

A scrap piece of maple i was squaring up when i thought it was the right size to make this, walnut round the edge.

I have loads of 12" 5"x1" boards left over... after seeing the picture online i thought it would be good to have on a kitchen clock as we don't yet have one so i got to making one.

This is the last (and first) thing I made using some quality hardwood.
Also, this is my first attempt at mortise joints.
Also, since making this I have discovered the 'slope'!

That's an interesting shape for the front knob Bart and I mean that in a positive way of course. Do you find it affects how you use the plane?

Yes I find it more comfortable but I can’t exactly pinpoint why. I first came across the low front knob from watching David Charlesworth’s DVD’s and it just seems to be a more practical and ergonomic shape, at least for me. It’s also not hugely different from holding the edge/body of the plane for finer work where you use your fingers as a fence. David could probably articulate better than me its merits, if he believes it has any of course! I also really like the way it looks.

Sort of 'made'. More like 'caused to happen':

Cheers Bart. It seems an intuitive shape which is what made me wonder. Thanks for the answer. Much appreciated!
