What did you do in your workshop today ?

[DiscoStu]

they any good? saw them but wasnt sure how good they would be so left them.

I think they're OK. You can't get huge pressure on them but for glue ups especially when having a lot is useful then I think they'll be worth their money.

Raining again so into my workshop/shed for gardening gear, after days of gardening and just dumping stuff in there. Had to clean the top of the TS it had a very slight rust mark on it :evil:
give it a coat of oil for the time being.

Frustratingly searched for a drill bit I know I have, didn't find it, but did find some others I thought were lost :|

I've had some of the Aldi clamps for about a year now. I didn't bother buying any this time round because one of them has lost its strength and the other one is on its way out.

I have some cheap and nasty Irwin ones that I regret buying because it was too much money to spend on tat, and they're the only cheap ones that I have that I can actually still rely on.

I bought some Dekton ones from the local handyman's store - a stupid decision considering they were next to some very reasonably priced cast iron ones - and I put too much pressure on one one day and the thing snapped in half. The other one I bought just fell apart somehow.

Went out to tidy up and declutter,now have a bigger mess than I had at the start of the day.

Nice, nothing like a good bit of clamp storage!

Amen to that

 

[Wizard9999]

Big tidy up and added some more tool storage on my wall. Yesterday made a visit to Random Orbital Bob's place and he showed me how to make a new handle for one of the chisels I bought from this very forum a few weeks ago =D> . Only problem is there are three more handles to do and he has told me that next week I have to have a go at the next one :?

'Mmmmm donut!' chuck. Works perfectly.

I have a diy Longworth, but fear for my knuckles with that bloody thing.

... at least with this one, the spinny, zombie-killing, threaded parts are at the back out of the way.

 

[BearTricks]

Donut chuck is on my list of things to make. Maybe tomorrow.

 

[Lignum]

Put two pieces of wood in the vice, their flat bottoms aligned in an attempt to plane the top sides to level. And they are perfectly flat. A delightful flat slope, at about 20 degrees. Beautiful!

Cleared a mountain of ply off cuts out. Every one a potential shelf....for someone but never for me. Gritted teeth did the job, a bit more space now!

I feel your pain.

Graham in a couple of weeks time you'll wonder where they are :shock: cause you could just do with a bit of ply.
Bin there done that. =D>

Making speakers...

 

[DTR]

Making speakers...

they're very..... green :shock:

Looks like you're going to bi-amp them? I need to get round to building some speakers.....

 

[BearTricks]

Spent the morning listing things on eBay to raise some funds for the new workshop. This afternoon maybe a donut chuck or turning some plates.

Edit: Ended up just doing a bottle opener and half the donut chuck. Probably need to drag the shop vac in there tomorrow as the sawdust is getting a bit silly.

Tipping it down with rain :shock: again. Made a gate for my compost bin store, just got to clear space under 2 conifer trees and clip one side of one to fit the gate, (hammer)when the rain stops long enough. :!:

 

[MattRoberts]

Making nested tables!

 

[monkeybiter]

That table looks good but I'm as interested in your 'fence organiser'. Any chance of some pics? And does the hole mean it slides over to a router table?

Also, is the small piece of wood clamped to the leg on the right for tapering?
