Looks good! How did you make the chicken? The wood one!!!

I like the chicken.

Certainly looks like Adula to me. The underline and the left slope with crossbar look very convincing.

Why not simply Uula - which looks Finnish

By far the most likely suggestion so far.

Very up market handle but I’d call that a trowel rather than a hoe.

We used to have a thread about stuff made from skip trophies which this should really be in. This is a game for our summer fair. Scooby-snacks for Scooby-Doo.
We have load of games for small children to keep them entertained while families their money at the cream teas and in the beer tent. They throw the little bones in Scooby’s mouth . This is a replacement for one I made years ago which has come to grief.

I can lend you a real dog that would love to have kids throwing scooby snacks at him.

I made this for my son to his design. Not realy my thing but he was happy. Melamine faced birch ply. It was fun getting all the exposed edges to look good without chipping the malamine!

I also finally got around to making a fence for my router table. I used some aluminium extrusion given to me by a mate. Debinately a step up from the old piece of 4x2 and 2 clamps.

These were made by my wife as a present for my father. She normally does wood tunring but wanted to try something different.

I'm not much of a woodworker, so please keep that it mind

My youngest son keeps Hens and they've produced a lot of eggs lately, far too many for my son's family (and my wife and I) to get through. My wife suggested that he should try selling some of the eggs to the locals, so with that in mind I thought I'd have a go at knocking up an egg stall.

I don't think it's actually been put to any use yet, but here's some pics after I'd finished building it.

I had a go at making a sign to put up somewhere, I didn't have any paint, so made do with a sharpie.

Just a quick update, my son shared a photo of his stall and told me he'd sold all of the eggs He had people queuing up to buy them.
I think he might need to charge a bit more

Cracking does the job love the wooden Hen on top

Eggs are a good size, much better than store bought ones.

It's all about the presentation

Two of these, replacements for an old vehicle. Only the hubs were reusable, which I’ve taken back to bare wood and made good.
Ready for the tyres now, then off to the painters

Beautiful. Have you read "The Wheelwrights Shop" by George Sturt. If not I strongly recommend you track down a copy. It's a delight.

Yes Keith, a great little book, from a world long gone

I had to post about this because it’s so unbelievably exciting. Making moulding plane blades is a pretty miserable business - it usually takes me a morning for a pair. So I spent the last 2 weeks building a CNC machine. I can now make plane blades out of hardboard. This is a #14 round, #4 hollow, and a 5/8” sash coping plane iron. In hardboard.

In the pic you can see the dressup tags that keep the iron in place.

By far the hardest thing is getting the CAD to work out the correct shape for the iron. Because of all the angles involved it is tricky to say the least.

Obviously they still need tapering, a bevel putting on, and hardening. O1 would be useful too - hardboard doesn’t really cut it . But it’s a step forward.

Me too. I call a spade a spade.

Nicely done. Good to see old crafts being kept alive. Some pics of the tyre fitting would be icing on the cake.
