Post a photo of the last thing you made

[bourbon]

finished this yesterday. Unfortunately, It was for the ashes of our dog who we had to let go. Made of mahogany with glass rebated into the top

No footy, no cricket, no gigs so plenty of time and a little spare cash available to spend on some woodworking projects. Not up to the standards seen on here but give me another twenty years.......

First up is my go at a small scale traditional joiner's tool chest. There's a little bit of joinery involved but also some butt joints and the bottom is simply nailed on as they would have been in the past, to make replacement easy. 'Traditionally' they were painted black, blue or green but I reckon they would have been painted with whatever is spare about the place, as this one has been. It contains one sliding till and was made from scrap.

Looks sturdy
Any pictures of the inside?

Cheers James

Inside is er.............. utilitarian rather than pretty.

It's also got chest lifts fitted now so I suppose it wasn't really finished yesterday. Much easier to handle the weight now and it looks a lot better too.

Turned an oak mushroom was a bit sharp so had to smooth the top off after

I was given two sets of drawers. One set oak and the other pine with tulip wood sides. They are are very old and were just used for storage in a shed. Without the chests I was forced to take them apart for re-cycling. With some of the oak I made these two arts and crafts style candlestick holders. They are 430mm high with a base of 170mm square. With the pine drawer fronts I made some fold-up steps. They are not finished yet because I'm out of some
tough varnish a they will get kicked around the workshop.

Those look great, the nice tall candle holders just perfect either side of the fire place. Both sets of steps would not be out of place in any kitchen Modern or Old
Extra bonus points for giving new life to some lovely old wood

I love those steps

Very nice kk, those candlestick holders give me an idea for a bird table base

Mirror frame in white Oak with sapele detail. Made to fit a vintage mirror plate.

Box with sliding lid and simple dovetails.

First go at a raised panel and managed to get it fairly crisp. That 20mm pine is too heavy for a box this size but it's all I had.

Hi all,

The last thing I made was a much needed hand tool cabinet. Now I just need to fill it up.

[Stan_LIT]

Now I have figure out how to henge it on wall Any advice ???

Bit more rough work today, with chainsaw, axe and an electric plane

 

[Stigmorgan]

Was asked by the Headteacher if I could repair the year4 toy shed ( the 3rd time this year) I've repaired it a dozen times in the 3 years I've been caretaker here, the original was an off the rack small shed approximately 2m wide, 1m deep and about 1.2m tall, the kids constantly mess about shutting each other in it which has ended up smashing the back panel out.
Now I know a few people here will snort at the fact I've used pallet wood for the new shed but it's all I had to work with, that and some broken plastic benches, im fairly happy with the result.

 

[MARK.B.]

Why snort at pallet wood , it is in many cases perfectly good timber that has simply had the misfortune of being the nearest to the timber mill .
Good on you for giving a new lease of life to the pallets and bonus points for saving the school budget some much needed cash

1st of many cutting boards from air dried walnuts cut ~7 yrs ago. Finally took it to the mill. The cracks/defects and worm holes are filled with coloured epoxy.

Finished with mineral oil then mineral oil/beeswax cream.

May as well join in. In my spare time I make a lot of Mud Kitchens ( from pallets ) for nurseries , schools and the local community. Been doing it for around 2 years now. Will post up some pictures later on but in the meantime one of the schools I recently made some kitchens for, asked me to make a Throne Chair. Had no idea what they meant so after a little research discovered it is what the teacher sits on to read to the kids outside . So knocked this up from fence posts , timber I had lying around and pallet wood. Really simple design, pocket hole on the inside (which is hidden) and butt joints. Has to be sturdy rather than fancy. Freehand painted their logo and everything given an outdoor finish.
