Post a photo of the last thing you made

Thanks for this @BentonTool. I have some more framing to do around the house, so will take a look at this more when I get around to those projects. I haven't really looked into shooting boards yet, but they keep cropping up so it's probably about time I investigate.

BTW, if your joint if off for any reason, you can plane it true by adding a few shims under either end of your work-piece (against the fence). I keep a box of outdated business cards just for this purpose.
If you build furniture with hand tools, a shooting board is a God-Send. You will wonder how you ever got along without one.

Made a few "things" in the past few weeks, including a very basic bench hook for hand-planing and a router jig for experimenting milling rough wood flat.

I've also "upcycled" or converted this old wine rack into a better wine rack...

I bought it off Face-ache Market-scam for *cheap*, and it was originally built with these rubbish (in my view) bottle shelves, which I cut out...

...and replaced with a square grid of matching wild mango recycled from another piece of furniture bought from the same place for the specific purpose of doing this job.
Turned out looking like this:

Original rack had space for 12 bottles (which is quite frankly not enough!!!) and had an open back.
Upcycled version has 20 slots and has a solid back panel.

It replaces a pine rack that had a 24 bottle capacity, but this mango one now matches the rest of the house furniture. It's rustic - a bit bent/twisted and split in a couple of places - but that means my "less than perfect" handiwork fits in with the overall aesthetic

What wine is the top 5 bottles that look the same? Good looking project!

This is my wine rack, didn't make it but the bar cabinetry, bar top, arch and dining table is all my doing.

I had this Veritas mitre box guides for months and was always procrastinating making a mitre box.
This week I decided to use an old lamination offcut to make it:

Been trying my hand at a bit of metalwork. After breaking my ring mount (ooer missus) I thought I might make another. Lesson learned: it was supposed to be for a 60mm dovetail jaw. It is 60mm one side but I didn't take into account that due to the dovetail the other side would be just over 50mm. So I'm not going to tell anybody and just say it's for my 50mm jaws. I'll make another one for larger jaws.

Those are my favourite inexpensive wine from Tesco - Mucho Mas.
The rest, except for a 19 Crimes, are from Laithwaites including Rex Mundy, El Bombero Carinena Reserva, Cabalie, Il Papavero, Le Prince de Courthezon, Stones & Bones.

Lovely work on your furniture
