That's good! =D>

Wanting to get to grips with a new (to me) CNC Router I've cracked the means to hand write G-Code to not only hollow out a 'pocket' but also to mill a thread - both internal & external. I also had to make the Thread Milling Cutter since I didn't fancy spending £180 ish for a commercial product :roll:
Made from an off-cut of Obeche (which had previously been cut to an Octogon) with Walnut inserts top & bottom and an 8 segment African Blackwood ring - to allow fine sizing for alignment on screwing top & bottom together - it's 95mm A/F and 54mm high.

I have been doing a bit of making in the garage, having acquired a few planes recently:

I made this rack to store the planes where they are easily accessible.

I also made simple shooting board never having had one before with an interchangeable fence for 45 degrees.

Now I need to get on with some projects and use them!

Ten year wedding anniversary gift is tin, right?
(BTW, thanks for the rippled sycamore Custard, now I have to go find more!)

And because I like being alive...

Legend.

Very nice ace. Shame about the mortar colour, though.

A mitred sapele box from offcuts for the 16yo Princess next door, who is named after a flower. I drew the flower and imported it.

Very nice job Mark.

If you can't find any Rippled Sycamore locally then drop me a PM.

The silver coloured one is this morning's effort.

Today's effort. Used up whatever scrap I could find to make this shooting board. Very helpful since the bench underneath is set up for right handed work, and this board allows me to work left handed. The mitre piece is removable, and I'm in the process of building a 45 degree ramp which will also just slot on.

The scrappy looking piece at the front needs grooves doing so it will run on the two lines and act as a movable support for whatever's being worked on.

I decided I needed a tool cabinet so I have more space on my bench and in the workshop generally. I need to make holders for various tools and fettle the doors a bit as they don't line up very well at the moment. (Click on the photos for better quality.)

 

[MikeG.]

Very nice Nick....but that's the easy bit. The work starts with making all the tool supports.

 

[NickM]

I know! The plane tote was hard enough. I don't need to rush to do that as I can probably fit most of the tools in by just putting them on the shelves at the moment.

Chisel racks will probably be the first to do.

 

[Blackswanwood]

That looks great NickM - something I have been meaning to do for ages.

I love crusty bread , but the crumbs go everywhere when I cut it, so I decided to make a breadboard that catches the crumbs as I cut the bread. Beech with a beech faced ply base. The grid is jointed using half lap joints. The grid lifts out for emptying the crumbs.

 

[billw]

Genius idea Mike! Crusty bread is great but it takes 10 seconds to eat and 5 minutes to clean up the mess.

More to try out the new forum layout & see if I can get it to work 10 Ash settee legs turned Saturday afternoon for a furniture maker

Well that’s a bonus, a portrait photo that displays in the correct orientation
