Post a photo of the last thing you made

I made these:

They look great, I'll bet you get a big kick from playing them, or hearing someone else do so.

Cheers,

Well, like any woodworker I just look at them as a series of minor mistakes.
They play pretty well though- I was a pro player before I became a builder so I know what I like in that regard.

I'm hoping the next few are a step up in terms of finish and overall build quality.

Very nice. I can almost hear the intonation!

I regret selling my acoustic. Saves having to plug in for every practice!
Did you find building and guitar-playing don't go together very well? I am forever knocking my fingers about. So far nothing serious, but the risk is always there.

Cheers

A couple of Welsh Stick Chairs after John Brown.


They have taken most of the summer but kept me out of mischief.

Stunning =D>

Sorry I missed this NoLegs. Thanks.
It's bad form, I know, but I must admit to walking around with a self-satisfied smile.

Had a scrap 2x4 so made this with my kids as part of Steve Ramses fund raising effort.

Evening good people, total newbie here, be nice!

First things I've made (other than a few electric guitars) which I'm not too embarrassed to show people!

A simple box of reclaimed mahogany

Which is used thus:

A cheese-board for a good friend from sycamore and walnut

A "proper chopping board" from maple, ash, and walnut in seven pieces

I love seeing all the good stuff you guys make. Those chairs are amazing. I gather inspiration from you people, thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge.

Cheers

That's some nicely made stuff Mr. IsGreat

Small solar collector for the shop

Rosewood & beech end grain chopping board for my brothers wedding present. His bride is Chinese, hence the traditional double happiness symbol. The designs go through like a stick of rock, albeit the names were reversed so they don't read backwards on one face.

Made this for my little girls birthday this week, was not only the last thing I made, but also the first thing I made - got the bug now!

 

[Kalimna]

What a delightful, charming thing you have made, Littlemantodo. I do hope your little girl enjoys playing with it

And Jamesevenlode, I'm always keen on seeing others' luthiery - nice finish on both guitars Care to give any construction details?

Cheers,
Adam

That looks like very intricate work. Especially around the names, well done!

[Setch]

Thanks XY! It was fiddly work, and I only just had enough rosewood, and barely enough time to get it done. Suprisingly, the names were relatively easy, even though they're composed of about 70 components.
