Post a photo of the last thing you made

[Britman]

not exciting or sexy in the least, very simple built in units with LED lights in the face frame, Oak veneered MDF tops. There is also a CD rack but I forgot to take any pictures of that.
I will add that we bought a Draco airless sprayer for this, and future projects, and I was very happy with the finish is gave.

Definitely not my usual thing, this memory box was requested by my wife for her eldest sisters 60th.
Its made from off cuts of American white oak apart from the CNC engraved panel which is a horrendously gnarly piece of European oak that must have gone through the sander at least a dozen times, thanks to @JonnyD for the cnc’ing.

You know what, that has given me an idea for an xmas present for my sister in law!

Looks great, which sprayer did you buy? Was it your first time spraying and how was the learning curve? Thinking about the spraying route for some windows I am making.

Lovely mitres on the corners of the linings, I can never get mine quite that accurate!

It's been a long time coming, but finally finished my bookshelves. We are very much into Arts and Crafts style and this is our interpretation.

Nicely done and attractive! Amazing copper relief, your work also?
Your sitting room is inviting.

Thank you. No the copper is the one thing I can't lay claim to. We bought it at auction half way through the project and redesigned the top to accomodate it.

I can imagine myself sitting there with a glass of scotch and a good book to read.

I love this room I would have the shelves filled with a mix of books, board games, plants and turned items.

Thank you, this is how it looks at the moment. It will evolve as we find new things to display. At the moment as my wife put it, it looks a bit 'curated'.

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.

Legs Douglas Fir left over from a pergola.

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.

Great bench. I've sailed in smaller, (and far worse built) ships than that!!

The Draco Magnum Truecoat 360.
Very easy to use even though the cable is stupidly short, It's not even half a meter and has a UK plug adapter (Draco are a USA company)

We didn't even need to water down the acrylic paint.

No sanding between coats either but you probably will need to if painting real wood.

That European oak is beautiful.
