A glazed door, made of Maple but will be painted 
Had to join up some pieces for the middle and bottom rails
Cut most of the mitres on the Kapex, it's great for things like this
I got a handy tip from Bradshaw joinery for when doing glue ups. I like to use PU glue for most things but it is difficult to clean off in corners of mouldings etc, he suggested using a bit of Fix-all type adhesive on the mitres, it cleans off easily and stops the PU foaming out where you don't want it (apparently it also fills the gaps in the mitres if there are any
).
I even remembered to cut a mortise for the 5" latch, thought it would save me getting my brace and bit out on site......
And finished
Got it hung but took it off again for painting and glazing

It wasn't fish people were seeing though...
Made me a camera out of the following. Made a stop motion of this "machine" running but am not really sure where to post it here so pictures will do of it.
The following went into it
Clock mechanism for the main body
8mm leader film for negative, with selection of postage stamps (standard)
Bulb hood from my old car's headlight (RIP Yarry) plus projector bulb
Lens made from wardrobe rail socket, camera's lens thread (probably off of an old Zenit SLR) and watch dome. Shutter release,old necklace chain
Lightmeter, old tayla icing bag tube plus red film counter window from 120 camera
Film counter made from dial arm from old clock, sewing bobbin and dials from old cameras, one 35mm the other likely a Kodak TLR
Viewfinder/periscope made from old tap fitting and watch dome
Platform made from old model railway rail
Base made from a discarded blanking plate from a large computer or time machine, not sure which.
Plus a bunch of clock gears dotted about. Think that's everything
