We jumped on the slat wall trend and I made this little saw bench to help us with doing bits around the house.
The site manager approves 😄

Cutting aluminium sheet by hand (while we try to decide on a cnc solution) can get tricky in the regular vice, and it occurred to me that a leg vice which allows deeper work to be held would be good - but overkill for what we need. So today I came up with this. Holds firm, easy to use and works well with my dad's old coping saw. I'm pleased with it.

Some more progress on the cat shelves, got the boards for the "rope bridge" connected using hinges, didn't have enough to double up anywhere but the ends so centred them and will use some leather strips to support the edges and help prevent twisting and pulling the screws out, the pine is relatively soft so I drilled a pilot hole for every screw and then filled it with CA before putting the screw in (and yes my mild OCD had to have all the screws soldiered even though theyre posi drive)
Next is to make the platforms for each end then a rope pole.

Thats the kind of woodwork I like to see. Job needs doing but there is a problem so knock something up that gets the job done. (y)
