Post a photo of the last thing you made

[Illy]

Made a wall clock based on a design I saw selling on the internet for a lot of dollars. Rim is mild steel formed into a circle with my Metalcraft RBR tool, then just about muddled through welding the join. Then used various bits of timber lying around.

A small chest made from locally sourced hornbeam based on a design that I saw in Roger Berwick's (Dodge) workshop a couple of months ago. I have a Woodrat but I promise that every joint was cut using handtools only!

More chisels (bottom 3). Top is a buck brothers parer.

Made from files with louro preto handles.

Not got any photos of them finished but did a pair of espresso cups

Got some bog oak from my uncle. Decided to try a live edge bowl.

Just finished making these weights stands/organisers. Not exactly fine woodworking, but serves a purpose and is a nice little reminder of my passion when exercising. The stands are at a 5 degree angle to both the wall and the floor, help relieve the forces of the cantilevered weights pulling the stands from the wall. The brackets I used are ideal for this purpose... I also used them on a fireplace surround/mantle 8 made years ago. If I didn’t have so many other things on my plate I might have considered turning the end cap things out of wood on the lathe, but the plastic domed caps get the job done.

This is last thing that I made what do you think?

An almost completed Credenza for a shop in Londinium

Londinuim, I thought I was the only person that said that. Nice credenza, what’s it made from?

Well, you’re asking, I think the workmanship is extremely high, I’m not overwhelmed by the grain, on the drawer base it’s looking a bit too, in your face. The other thing I would question is the section of timber used both for the front and sides of the drawer, but then I’ve always been a bit of a fanatic for using fine sections for drawers, have a look at some really good quality very old stuff. I don’t want you to think I’m being critical and negative and probably it’s just my opinion and what I like to see, I say again I can’t fault your workmanship at all, very nice. Ian
Edit, I think I would have preferred to see the back of the drawer made out of the same timber as the sides, I do approve of you using a pale timber for that, it always shows up so nicely on the dovetails against the darker front wood, i’m sorry you’re probably going to think I’m being picky, one last thing it’s normal to have the back of the drawer set down lower than the front and the sides to stop it chattering as the drawer is pulled open, it does depend on the construction of the cabinet but that was why it was done originally.

Yes I was looking at that back panel and thinking something wasn't quite right, then realised that whilst it's got symmetry, it doesn't look right and the three sides should match.

Agree on the drawer bottom too, it also looks quite "heavy"?

Clean joints there @Stan_LIT, wish I could do the same

Not fine woodworking but more of an enabler...

I've built a folding MFT

My wife’s surprise Christmas present all recycled materials my brother has a skip hire business so all my materials are foc

 

[Stan_LIT]

I think that is one of the reason why i am more and more to the woodworking. You are taking piece of wood for someone scrap and turning it to something beautiful. Nice job i like it a lot.

Believe it or not this is the first one I’ve ever made, just made it out of tulip and sapelle as I had that in the workshop left over from a previous job. Next I’m going to have a go at sliding dovetails and once I’m happy with that I’ll make a cabinet for this drawer box to go in.

saw this idea years ago for raising & lowering the thicknesser bed on my planer/thicknesser, made from Perspex & MDF

works a treat, I’ve put a video on my Instagram feed if anyone wants to see it in action.

I made a couple of nightstands for my brother. Not exactly my regular style but I felt like designing something modern, yet suitable with the kind of furniture he already owns. Carcass (is that the right word? ) made from fumed oak, drawer fronts are oiled birch.

Was tired of the drinks packed/stored all over, so knocked this together quickly... not a show piece, but it works

Lovely effect, patience of a saint to have done it though! Was it marked out or freehand?
