Post a photo of the last thing you made

[Dangermouse.]

Due to work commitments being mad, not done anything since my workbench. This photo was taken before it was fully finished.

Finished and delivered this yesterday.

Built this in a hurry for the wife to house her ever growing mass of hair/ make up/ war paint supplies. When it was built though I quite liked it and decided to keep it for myself and use it as a small computer table! She has ordered another similar - but twice the size. A few pics below also show the process of assembly. It was cut from a single sheet of 8 x 4 birch ply and stained in natural varnish.

Thanks for looking!

Neat! I hope you didn't pay for birch ply, though.

£55 for 8 x 4 sheet. I wasn't impressed with the quality but didn't question it as it was a quick build.

Was I ripped off!?

 

[Phil Pascoe]

It's not birch, it's WBP. £55 is expensive enough for WBP. Birch may have been more - it's a long time since I bought birch.
WBP is water/weather and boil proof.

This is what I made on the weekend - still starting out with woodworking so I am still a little slow and making mistakes.

The paint job leaves a lot to be desired but the missus is pleased with it.

That's lovely, nice cottagey feel to it. You could sell them if the price was high enough.

Have been very busy putting sorting out a new kitchen - not really woodwork as it came from Wickes flat packed, but I did make the shelf above the cooker! I also uncovered the back door that was hidden, stripped it down, replaced the top two panels for glass units and refurbished the lock - it is a non standard size door so this was far easier that trying to source a replacement. This is actually the end of a very long process of turning 3 rooms into 1, removing walls, putting in steels etc. Just a few snagging jobs to go (paint that copper pipe, install the radiator, fit under cabinet lights etc...) but SWMBO decided to move back in before I had entirely finished :lol:

Nice looking kitchen, it must seem like an open plan restaurant if you have used up three rooms to create.

=D> =D> =D>

 

[StevieB]

Yes, it is larger than we originally intended. You can see the position of the 2 steels forming a 'T' in the last photo. there were two small kitchen rooms (kitchen and utility) and a downstairs toilet and washing machine area - we were originally going to just convert the two rooms and leave the toilet, but once the walls were out it made sense to take out the toilet also and leave it all open plan! Probably got some WIP shots somewhere if there is any interest in a thread, but it not really woodworking so I didn't post them before.

Finally I felt up to tacking a project a bit more complicated that a door wedge! A simple project that I had fun making and am pleased with the result.

Now that looks smart ! What timber is it ?

Thanks! I believe the handle is oak but I have no real idea what type of timber the head is made from. Whatever it is, I picked up a few offcuts of it from the hardwood area of Cambridge Wood Works because the strong grain looked quite striking.

 

[Benchwayze]

Garry,

You made the head in three parts?
Makes sense, and saves fiddling around with a through mortice. :lol:

Nice neat job, and it reminds me, my oldie is looking a bit tired.

Regards
John

 

[cgarry]

John,

Yes, the head was made in 3 parts which means the through mortice is extremely simple to get right. I can't take credit for the idea though, I mostly followed the build here:

There aren't many new ideas in woodworking so it's nothing to be ashamed of. That's a fine mallet you've made

 

[Benchwayze]

Thanks Garry...

I have unearthed a nice piece of 4 x 4 maple from my 'round-tuit' pile. It should be a nice mallet!
But first things first, as I have a job on the anvil at the moment.

Cheers

I look forward to seeing your version of the mallet!
