Now that's destined to be passed down for a few generations I'm sure.



For a quick and easy way to resize images you can use free. Picture resize 6 http://www.rw-designer.com/picture-resize

Basic exe file. change the number in the file name to change pixel count. E.G. PhotoResize400.exe / PhotoResize800.exe / PhotoResize1024.exe Just drag and drop your image to the exe file, it will generate a new image with the size selected incorporated in the name.

That software was perfect

I put up a small WIP in the end

Few more garden bits. The oil tank has got a few left over oak wardrobe legs tenoned up through the bottom, then screwed. The crates are left over slithers of Douglas fir- one day I'll make a lean to greenhouse type thing for them to sit on.

Very smart crates, Coley. How did you do the lettering?

Thanks bud. The lettering done using stencils and bedec multi surface paint applied with a brush. first time I've tried stencils and the paint oozed a lot underneath the stencil so the lettering isn't very neat.

I made these for the Primary School I am about to retire from (after 24 years). They are made from a cherry tree I planted soon after I started working there.
The timber had just been lying out on the ground for a year and a half (including 2 winters) after it had been felled in Sep 2013.
Took a lot of cleaning up.
The bells are tuned pentatonically - they sound in tune whatever you hit.
Finished with Tung oil.
Fittings are all stainless steel (apart from aluminium tubing).

The children seem to love them.

Mallet I made mostly with hand tools, based on Paul Sellers mallet. Roughed out the lumber with the bandsaw and table saw though. It's rowan wood. Not sure its the ideal wood for this application, but it feels heavy and durable.

Not finished shaping the mallet head, and it also needs some kind of finish, leaning towards BLO. I'd have liked shellac too but I ain't got none.

The grip might be a wee too short, but it was the longest piece I had. Might trim a bit off the bottom of the mallet head yet to compensate.

 

[Zeddedhed]

I don't know how durable Rowan is either, but at least everything you hit with it is getting hit with something that to my eye is very pretty indeed.

The last mallet I made I really struggled with the tapered mortice. Goodness only knows how the boys of old made such accurate mortices with weird shapes to make their wooden planes.

 

[Scottdimelow]

That is a lovely chunk of wood, I'm sure it'll last years. I think shellac is too brittle for a mallet, stick with oils.

 

[DennisCA]

Thanks! I shaped the head some more and applied linseed oil (boiled), really brought out the end grain. I am much more happy with this mallet now. I hope it'll last:

 

[Scottdimelow]

Wow what a difference. Thor would be proud!

A pair of push sticks:

I know there is a trend at the moment for ones which resemble a cross between a bench plane and an iron but I can't get my head around how having your hands that close to a blade could make woodworking safer. I just stick to using two of these at all times.

 

[DennisCA]

Those are better IMO as well, I prefer to use two of that design. Several thicknesses are good as well, the ones I use most are from 18mm plywood, then a pair from 12mm for thinner stock and cuts.

 

[Cordy]

Dennis, your Mallet is fantastic

I much prefer The original colour
If it was mine I'd hang it on the wall as an ornament

Ok this is the first thing I've ever made using a lathe (bought from Phil and collected yesterday).

Please don't mock my egg cup - I'm very proud of it!

Hi, been having a little bit of workshop action lately and managed to make this bookcase in a couple of days this week. Its in solid walnut, with ply veneered shelves, no fancy joinery as I was in a hurry, so the good old domino was in action, but nonetheless, a satisfying project and one of the final pieces for our new kitchen. I just need to complete the extractor canopy and its done.

The finish is my favourite, festool surfix one step and some wax. I was quite chuffed, as I saw this in a posh furniture shop, with a price ticket of over a grand on it, and thought " I could make that really easily"...so I did!

Cheers, Mark

The first cookbook my wife bought ( befor we met) was the very same 1000 Recipe Cookbook in 1977, we met a few months later.

You are on a slippery slope, I only started turning on my Rutland's special offer a few weeks ago and already it has taken over my workbench and I am continually thinking about things I could turn. I turned a file handle out of a 2x4 offcut and was embarrassingly proud. For a first go that is an impressive egg cup.

River Otter commission, carved from ash.

 

[gasman]

Table made as a commission for a 21st birthday present. It is teak and sycamore with a glass plate over the 21 compartments. Engraved with initials and the date of the birthday. The client is going to put something in each compartment for each year of her daughters life. I thought it was a great idea of hers.
There are 2 secret compartments inside with rare earth magnets acting as locks

Cheers
