First time doing any kind of weaving, oak piano bench with Danish cord.
It's very tall atm as I've left it high to cut down to the right height in situ.
All mortise and tenon and had to put a cross beam in the seat half way through weaving as I think I'd forgotten about physics till I noticed the front and back cross bars bending a significant amount!

So this years making of Christmas pressies has started, here is a cantilever sewing box made from Zebrano wood chosen by my wife, for her pressie - she knows as she chose the wood, but the design per se is mine and she doesn't get to see it till Christmas Day.

Always good to have another gauge. The firewood pile can often be a good place to get wood for small projects.

I have to ask as i can see theres a fair length of unsupported blade, but is there any chattering ?
FlatlandsF7a
Probably in the shed. Probably cold.
The blade is actually supported almost all the way to the bed of the plane. As the iron is 12mm square section, it goes quite 'deep' into the body, and is recessed next to the hole (I'm sure there's a technical term, but I don't know it!). I think the bottom of the cutter is actually only 15 degrees or so off parallel to the sole, so the cutting edge has a lot of support behind it.
I've not had any chattering so far, but only really been using it for test cuts. This was my second version, as I messed up the angles on the first one and it kind of 'pivoted' deeper when it caught. So far this one has been rock solid, and I'd recommend the design at the moment, but only time will tell!

Finished this off today.
It's to go over a small consumer unit in a room I panelled out. Doesn't look much now but the customer is going to be distressing it and painting the glass so it looks like an old butlers bell box.
I love messing about with quirky little jobs like this, doesn't feel like work.

Lovely toy box. I like the anti finger jam cut outs,
But what are the U shaped bits on the dividers ?

I've made a few of these figures before, to decorate bookends and a clock for my grandchildren. However I'm posting these pictures as I managed to make them without needing to use screws or pins and the heads and limbs of the bear and monkey can move, as I've joined them with 3D printed trapped ball joints. Sketchup view shows the form. If anyone is interested I'd be happy to share the STL file.

Just some drawers for our kids' craft stuff, but the first complete piece of furniture I've made:
This was before the base was fitted:

my daughter bought her epoxy from Germany for her new coffee table......
got a horrible surprise from Customs ......
She bought it from eBay UK.....thinking the price covered all duties.....
Is there somewhere in the UK that sells the stuff, after all there's lots of glass fibre boats about.....
