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.

My mother bought me that same cookbook in the late 1980s when I had to start fending for myself. We still have it and my wife considers it the old faithful, something to be relied upon for straightforward receipes using easily available ingredients

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
Mark

That's a unique present Mark and looks very nice. Well done =D>

Regards Keith

Nothing fine about this but climbing frame for the little one was done recently. The whole thing cost about £350 which was about 2 grand less than the one I copied the design from, and this is much better built.

Just got to finish painting it and put a bit of trim on.

Finally finished a project I've been working on for what seems like ages.
I posted about it back in June: fitting-cabinet-doors-t90045.html

Anyway, the doors got sorted, the Osmo oil applied and SWIMBO is happy.

So am I - I hate projects hanging around the workshop taking up space - I reckon this damned cabinet covered several miles being moved about almost every day.

Please criticise or comment - just be nice

Not really woodworking, more like plastic working. But I've improved my bandsaws dust collection a hundredfold with this:

There's a big open gap right under the table and the enclosure, and the DC port is at the very bottom, quite inefficient unless you have some kind of monster DC (I will in the future). The spoked cast iron wheels also double as fans throwing the air and dust around.

So what I did was take a 100mm 45 degree PVC bend I found lying around, cut a notch into it for the bandsaw blade, then I cut into the top to try and mould it against the underside of the table, then I attached neodymium magnets to it to hold it in place. My dust collection is now 99%> perfect.

I did have to remove my earlier modification where I'd put the lower guides on a riser block to bring it up closer to the table. But that's a worthy sacrifice.

Some beautiful work here i have only just started with woodworking and seeing what is possible to create with alot of time and patience is pretty inspirational, i was looking to build a slide and swing set for my little boy and looking at HexusOdy's makes me hope i can come up with something even remotely close =)

Quickly knocked up a couple of gates for our decking/pergola from scrap pine.
It's my first use of my festool domino df 500 Used the outdoor sipo 10mm domino's - WOW what a machine :lol:

The gates are to keep the wee one from falling down the steps!

Nice work Mouppe. How many hours?

 

[Beau]

Top quality work there mouppe =D>

 

[mouppe]

Thanks, probably about 50 hours if I had to guess, most of which were spent figuring out how to make the components!
