I’ve just made some Christmas ornaments for my family. A melting snowman! Inspired from YouTubes April Wilkerson…

Regards… Rob

Still making it to be honest but it’s taking forever!
Got thrown off by having to fix a knackered raising and lowering of the blade mechanism in the saw, also customising my fence to work on the newer longer rail that someone kindly gifted me

I’ve still got more to do with banding, edging, finishing and later inlay work, but it’s a significant upgrade from my previous cabinet for my old Axminster TS250

Tray made from Elm , lots of cracks and splits filled with epoxy so I could use the wood
had fun doing the dovetails ( not done them for a long time )
Mrs B wants a few other things now which is good for me LOL

Just finished few projects, as we travel to meet our family. We are loaded with gifts... Lots of firts-time things here. Never done a cutting board, or bor, or lining. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Hopefully these will get appreciated.

Very nice
I like the ring holders how did you make them

The pull up piece of material looks a neat idea also what’s it made off

Thanks, I did the box, and lining of it in general. My missus sorted the ring holder itself - foam sheet cut to strips, bent around in half (along the long side) and held together by double sided tape. And then wrapped in the lining material. I wasn't there watching her do it, so I don't know the details of it all.

Not sure what you call the pull up material? If the tray itself, then that's wallnut box. If the red lining, that's a pigsuede. I bought it here. If you wanna know how to work with it, best follow this guide
 
As a newcomer to woodworking here's my first build using hardwood and not plywood, it's just an oak spice rack but I was a bag of nerves doing my first box joints and routing the dados. I'm very happy with the end result.
That's lovely that. Very nice indeed. Love the acorn detail.
You can tell that it was needed too owing to the fact that you have two perfectly serviceable jars of chilli and paprika spicy chip seasoning and fennel seeds. The previously haphazard storage must have led to a repeat buy 😉


Dados=Housings in the UK. 👍
 
Hi , yes I followed custards post when doing my wife’s jewellery box it’s a great method

What I should have said was the handle for the pullout tray ( think I was tired LOL )

It’s in the photo , I assume it’s just trapped /glued to the tray just wondered what material you used

You're not kidding, I still have other spice jars in the cupboard!

Housings, Aha! I didn't know that, I think I've watched too many American videos on YouTube:)
 
Another pot pouri pot, this time I used iroko board top and bottom of my last puece of cherry 😥😥, it came off the lathe a couple of times, the iroko is so dry that trying to mount it on a recess rather than a tenon failed twice, 3rd time I used a tenon and continued gently hollowing out the cherry then glued the top board on and shaped that, sanded to 320 then abrasive paste and finished with hard wax. I love how the iroko shines when finished with wax.

Oh I see... I've routed a little shallow U shape groove to the side of the board (before gluing the tray), and used 2 part epoxy to glue the ends if the strap in. The goal was to have it strongly fixed in place, and also flush, so it wouldn't interfere with the lining.
