Post a photo of the last thing you made

Two of these, replacements for an old vehicle. Only the hubs were reusable, which I’ve taken back to bare wood and made good.

Great workmanship. How did you join the rim sections to each other?

I believe the traditional woods for the hub, spokes and rim are respectively elm to resist the splitting forces at the hub, oak because of its strength under compression and ash for its springiness that will give a modicum of suspension. Are they the woods you have used? I too would like to see the tyre being put on.
A traditional craft slowly being lost, so sad. However you've made a fantastic job.

An Oak table, nice straightforward job, it's a bit Rag 'n' Bone Brown so something different for me.

Customer is having a new kitchen and asked if I could use the the old Oak top from the island and some Oak from a surround that was taken down to make a table.

What we started with

There were already 2 legs but I had to make 2 more

Used dominoes to fix it together

I was just going to use metal worktop type brackets to fasten the top on but customer wanted buttons, Domino is great for cutting mortices for these

All done, unfortunately didn't get a photo of it the right way up

Nice fun little job and always good to repurpose stuff
