Pair of knives in aeb-l steel, thin bladed. Handles are macassar ebony. Style on the handle on the bigger knife is comfortable, but it's a big miss visually. Finish is ca glue with #0000 steel wool surface.

Don't do much fine woodwork, I am a painter and make fine art stretchers and stretch my own canvases. I found this 1909 Langdon, Millers Falls mitre box on a garage trail in Sydney recently. Missing the near backsaw guide so I made another from some Chinchilla Gum I bought years ago. Fixed it with epoxy. Just in the process of tuning it. Don't have a 28 inch mitre saw so using this panel saw instead.

Not proper woodwork - just a bit of fun…

I made a couple of Sapele Christmas trees in keeping with the festive period.

Pretty simple and fun to make. I need to work on the finish though. They're a bit rough on closer inspection.
Cheers,

Just fitted a veritas face vice to my Sellars inspired bench. Still not sure whether or not to lose the rear jaw and just go straight into the apron. Still need to actually attach the vice mechanism to the outer jaw, didnt have the correct screws

This year's Christmas gifts for the family. Made with 4mm x 12mm maple strips for the triangular framework and 2.2mm x 12mm strips for the internal patterns. They are finished by a short soak in mineral oil and hung for a couple of days to dry.

It's up to the recipient how they want to use them but my idea is a table mat. But they could be a hanging ornament.

In all I made 34 - I'd hoped to make more but it was more time consuming than I expected.

great work @pulleyt I can't imagine the hours that must go into that.

Loose the rear jaw and be flush with the apron. You'r bench will be much more functional when you get to holding big boards and panels. Over the years I have had the vice both ways but being flush to the bench front is a great improvement.

Took your advice on board. It was what i originally wanted to do, not sure why i didnt. Much better plus eliminates the extra possibility of deviation in mismeasurment! Plus added a tool holder/planing stop

My inside jaw is flush with front edge (no apron) but it's an inset replaceable jaw. I do put things things in it that probably shouldn't be put in it (as do many of us) so it can be replaced as and when.

Same here. My bench is softwood but the jaw faces are maple.

 

[nosuchhounds]

I think i will replace my jaws with hard wood eventually
