As soon as you get rid of them you will need them.

Nice and sleek clamp rack compared to my mess.

Nice, interesting morticer you have, can we see more of it.

A small box made form Japanese cedar (possibly) construction waste. I picked up about fifty metres of the stuff, so plenty more box making practice!

I also picked up about five metres of oak from a different construction site (now I'm quite famous locally for being the odd guy that rumages through bins on construction sites) but wanted to practice first on the cedar.

Lovely timber and lovely sharp lines on the box you made, especially impressive with wood that can be a little soft.

Hi Duke
It’s a mortise jig for door locks but you can buy different size cutters and rods for deeper mortises

Std jig does 100mm deep
Mortises which was perfect for this job think up to 170mm deep
Comes with x3 cutters
And you can buy different adaptors for off set mortises /locks also

Thank you for the compliment. I think the picture flatters the piece; it actually has more gaps than a small insurance market. I'm working on improving my marking!

Bench for a slight upgrade of lathe. And to make it the right height for me. Jobs always take longer than you think. All timber I’ve been keeping because “that will get used for something”.

Good bits of damaged construction timber.

Splay 5 degrees sideways and fore and aft. Front rail a bit of Oak that came from a recycle yard, Rubberwood shelves from discarded furniture and scrap metal collection for added weight!

Arghh! Disaster! The base packers meant the bolts were too short, so had to part with a fiver for a length of threaded bar and some nuts. Had all the coach bolts in stock.

Well it works, but clearly needs doors! Has taken 8 days.

Nothing like a new and shiny machine. What is the turning length on your lathe Morag?
