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

Wow. Simply, wow. Respect, dear lady.

Now dried and oiled - a hand carved bird feeder filling scoop of hazel and a small cherry double-bowl for nut, olives or other nibbles.

More Luke Kite metal creatures, infesting our bathroom.

 

[mwinfrance]

That is a bathroom infestation I could cope with, nay, enjoy..we just get spiders ( big uns that terrify Mme ) and slugs( very humid part of France ) ..and mold, due to really bad airflows, ventilation and tile floor laid directly on the ground nearly 100 years ago by the "5 star" Breton Builders. they did the same with the kitchen..Muppets.

I like that. The square wooden tiles are a very good idea. Can I copy?

Beautiful, do the peices ever get stuck? I believe the game was given round pieces to stop them getting wedged on their way down

Wow. Simply, wow. Respect, dear lady.

Thank you

There's quite a few chisel tests in Fine Woodworking Magazine. The one you're after may be that in Issue 139 but have a look at the tests in Issue 51 and Issue 200. There's a review of Stanley Sweetheart chisels in Issue 219.

I contacted FWW. They also pointed to issue #51. That is likely the one I am seeking, but it is not uploaded to their website. I may have to go digging through all my old FWW magazines (sadly, not yet organised! ).

Here is the first and last thing I made, it’s been a massive learning curve over the past couple of weeks but was keen to make this display and storage case for my metal detecting finds. It’s made out of Solid Oak, finished with a thin layer of osmo and 2 applications of finishing wax. I am surprised at how this turned out with it being my first project with my new router and table saw plus a few hand tools.

That is an impressive first project. Looks great
