Post a photo of the last thing you made

[yan89]

I made this for my wife's nephew and his partner. They are having their first baby later in the year. It does need one more rub-down and final coat but I just thought I would take the photographs while the sun was out. It's made from reclaimed brand new oak kitchen cabinet doors which were never installed at my friends house and a couple of long pieces I had lying around. An 800x400x50mm mattress is on order.
I followed the plans provided in Woodworking Projects but I understand the same plans have been printed by other magazines too.View attachment 116642View attachment 116643View attachment 116644

Just seen this - really great work! I’ve tried searching for a book titled ‘woodworking projects’ but can’t find any.. do you have the author’s name by any chance?

Thanks very much in advance

A piece of walnut gifted to me by our tree surgeon has been sat on my shelf for a few months now and today it called to me so I found a centre and took it to the bandsaw the split between solid and softer light wood kept this one out of balance the whole time but I managed to get clean enough cuts that any minor marks left behind were easily sanded out, finished with abrasive wax then diamond hard wax, absolutely in love with this one.

Yes, just a simple Mitre with little pegs that really just meet inside the Mitre.
They're a bit too subtle really. Thought they'd stand out a little more but they disappear.

I think the whole piece is subtle and understated - which is why it is SO beautiful

Plenty of character in it mate, looks good

Thanks G, I spent ages trying to decide where to put centre so that I could keep the two tone colouration and not be too small, the offcut is just about big enough to make a small pot so may have a go at that next

Stig that's a lovely bowl and beautifully finished but tell me...is that you, standing behind the lathe with nothing on? Is this an advertising ploy - the Naked Woodturner?

Spectacular grain and colour. Very nice work. Makes me want to try turning; pity I have no space for a lathe.
PS: does the chap in the background have a name?

@isaac3d @Bob Chapman that's Jason Todd he has been introduced several times previously he refuses to wear anything but a face mask when in the makerspace

When he's not helping in the makerspace he is modelling my Arkham Knight cosplay while I work on it

For my dad's birthday, lot of scroll work and lots of mistakes but it came out ok for the most part.

The question was aimed at me regarding what I do with all my woodshavings from woodturning

Thanks, I didn't understand the post so I answered. This site is sort of confusing as to who is talking to who.

I feel this needs reporting for gratuitous nudity.

I'm appalled

 

[isaac3d]

Nothing wrong with a bit of gratuitous nudity now and again.

Stig, looks really nice and specially like the finish and the rings that you cut in the bottom. Nice touch. What did Jason think of it?

Ahh he's my biggest critic, he thinks I should have tried for a higher sheen with a couple more coats of wax

Apparently we needed one of these! A bath tray.... We have used the bath twice in 18 months.....i think she just wants to put a plant on it if I'm honest.

Made from old oak decking boards I bought of eBay. Hard wax oil finish.

maybe she's trying to tell you something..

That I should continue to drink even when bathing?

 

[isaac3d]

I like the book holder. That was always the issue with reading in the bath; the book would get wet or my arms would get tired. Singing in the shower is a good alternative.
