With winter truly underway in Aberdeen, and the honeysuckle sufficiently shutdown that I could trim it back hard, it was time to bite the bullet and see if I could breakout the old arch from under it and get the new one installed.

Really happy with how it turned out considering it started as an oak sleeper. Yes overly complicated joinery for a garden item, and now it’s finished it’s obvious there are a couple of joints that will hold water due to orientation, but was fun to make and a great learning experience.

finished my first coat rack, this is for a family friend who is paying me, it's american white oak, I picked a darker piece for the body and lighter piece for the pegs and top trim, one of the projects on woodworking masterclass by paul sellers, got to learn how to make sliding dovetails, it was tricky and I realised I need gents saw or something a lot finer than 13 tpi to get the angles perfect, otherwise happy with it.

Looks good that. Very nice.

 

[Raymond UK]

Very nice indeed!

 

[John15]

Very nicely made Tyreman but are the pegs too stout for hanging coats by the collar tag?

A small workbench shelve.
FUGLY but It'll do the job :lol:

That's not ugly at all, Bri. It's robust and utilitarian. It's what workshop shelves should look like. Well done.

I see you have an Axminster Rider Block plane to, Black Friday deal? I got mine for £15 last week!

thanks john, they work just fine with the hook that comes with most coats, I thought it'd be too thick myself but tried it and was pleasantly surprised.

A house sign for sister-in-law.
1st go at making a sign with a router and used a dremell to carve the leaves , need more practice to get the lettering a bit smoother .

Made from a piece of Oak flooring found in a skip.

Small tack hammer head I picked up years and years ago. Made a handle,fitted and oiled.

Hi Will,
Wish it was £15 when I bout mine.. :lol:
Never look at a bigger plane tbh, with only one hand.
:?: maybe a No. 4 may suit?
Bri

 

[Phil Pascoe]

A No.3 would probably suit you.

 

[will1983]

yeah a no3 might be better, a no4 still has a bit of length to it so needs downward pressure at the front to work right.

Very nice!

How did you do the dark parts? Is that simply painted on after you routed it out?

 

[Shaggy]

Thanks.
Yes, routed the letters and dremmel carved the leaves. Black paint in the grooves then sanded when dry to get a neat edge.

Xmas party theme is Greek monsters, decided to go as a Minotaur giving me the opportunity/necessity to make an axe. A couple of offcuts of sycamore, lots of belt sanding for the head, a bridle joint between head and handle, and a coat of danish oil. Annoyed I rushed the glue clean up and finish meaning I’ve some obvious discolouration around the joint, else please with the outcome.

Fitz.

 

[MusicMan]

Very nice Cretan double-headed axe, though the Minotaur should have just horns not an axe, and Theseus used a sword on it. Note also the dress code for the Minotaur, you'll be a hit at the party
