Excuse the mess but insulating an in use workshop is a nightmare. I put up the new LED lights and omg what a difference.

 

[NickVanBeest]

Workshop 2.0 is up, what a difference with 1.0!

Confession, I did not built it myself, but I did build the base frame

@paulrbarnard, your workplace is just too tidy! LOL

It just underwent a forced tidy up. It was the “do it or I will” ultimatum…

It’s actually even dust and shavings free now as I spent a few hours today with the vacuum and brush.

Not to worry though it will be knee deep again soon.

guitar build stage 2 complete. Neck roughed out. Trussrod and fretboard next.

Sorry to have been silent on my guitar builds but have been busy. Anyway, here you go.

I made the trussrod for this fretless bass neck. The neck is maple, fretboard is Australian Sheoak which is hard as steel but lovely to work.

Happy Christmas everyone.

Couple of small gifts I've made for this Christmas.

My brother is getting the drinking game (only so I can re gift him the vile chocolate gin he regifted to me last year) I think this is jarrah, very dense and heavy. Someone wiser let me know if I'm mistaken please.

Second is a twig vase for my mum from leylandii that was previously a hedge in my folks garden.

As with everything I make I only focus on the flaws, hopefully they won't.

Merry Christmas all.

I’ve recently been learning cad drawing on the v carve free program & a mate offered to let me loose on his CNC under his watchful eye, so I took the opportunity to make a couple of bases for router plates.

Only basic stuff so far but I’m really happy with the results

My builder nephew dropped off some interesting crate/pallet wood. I've not got a clue what it is but I thought I might make myself an adjustable sewing pony for my leather work from it. It hand planes beautifully, a few tear-outs to contend with. I'm still on light duties but I considered this to be light enough to have a go at.




I have one I can sit on if sewing in the garden, but it's a bit too cold to work out there or in the workshop. and I don't want to mark the house furniture with it.

Merry Christmas all.

I and probably most others are guilty of this, we just need to remind ourselves that we are the only ones that see flaws in our own work.

Four box’s made for family members for Xmas , got another five to finish off

Veneers bought from craft veneers , burr pack of veneers so that determined the size of the box’s with oak veneer backing on lids
Bottoms oak veneer both sides

Oak burr
Olive ash burr
Karelian Burch burr
Rosewood ( Bombay or San Domingan) not sure

Solid Oak sides and handle with I think iroko on the inside ( thin pieces not sure of a name for them )

Didn’t spline the mitres felt strong enough may do that on the other box’s

Rubio Monocoat finish

A waney edge table top. I followed the grain and cut away the sapwood, so not sure if it's a 'faux
live edge', but who cares.
A quick glue up of some inferior quality stock and then off to the stroke sander.
A nice earner.

I’ve made my first foray into the world of MFT. I bought the Tim Wilkerson plans for an MFTC, MFT Cart.

Plenty of screw ups along the way, starting with the choice of the cheapest ply I could get from B&Q. It was also my first time using a track saw and dominoes. So really this is my first power tools project.

The real wood bits are Beech. I bought a few planks of it about five years ago and now having a saw that can cut it decided to put it to use.

Edited to change the solid wood the beech not birch…

This is on my list of things to make. It's @ long list but it's on there!

Here is a jewelry box in sapele, yew and ash that I made for my wife, 2 nice piston fit trays are a must.

It was my first go at french polishing as well, I like the way it turned out.

Received a pen turning kit from Santa and this is my first attempt.

Does this count

The kids uncle always buys them fake Lego for Christmas, the kids won't touch it as it never fits together properly so it was just sitting there in the box and I couldn't resist!

If you're a Lego fan look for the tv programme Lego Masters Australia, there's a USA and a UK version but they're nowhere near as good. The builds ate out of this world.

Waney edge dip tray made for my mother in law and sister in law (one each)

The bowls came from a cheese melt product that we use a lot, so we had quite a few kicking about.

It looks like Ash, but could be oak, not sure. Legs are walnut.

Took the bark out using chisels.

My first project with de-barking as a step.
Cocked up the stamp!

Lovely job. Looking at your forth image I believe the medullary rays visible on the end grain indicate that this is oak and not ash.
cheers
