Post a photo of the last thing you made

[Farm Labourer]

Wifey ( an artistic, creative sort) wanted some "flower vases". She produced some sketches - here they are...... oak and cherry.

Or the absolute worse for me is those that call concrete "cement".

Or call any kind of steel beam or column an RSJ :lol:

or call drawers "draws".

What's the wood?

 

[Sawdust=manglitter]

very nice! do you mind posting a pic with the pedals on once it's complete? I love seeing guitar rigs and pedalboards.

Will do. May be a while though as my brother’s still waiting for the fittings, power supply etc to be delivered. Plus we’re still on full lockdown in Wales atm, so wont see my brother for a while yet as i’m not as un-touchable as a certain chief advisor to the PM :lol:

No I can forgive that one, as I have done it.

From some scraps I had left over from other things, I made a box for my "kuub"* set (the bag it came in is a bit weak and starting to fray).

I also made the little oak mallet for knocking the pitch markers in. That fits into the space on the right hand side of the box

The rope handle for the box was a "plan B". Plan A was a wooden handle but that snapped off!

*Kuub is a Scandinavian game. It basically involves throwing bits of wood to knock over other bits of wood and is really good fun. Making the pieces for the game would be another good little project but I already had those.

 

[Brian McManus]

First bit of woodwork in 20 years !

 

[Alpha-Dave]

An evening’s work making a pair of draw knife sheaths using: some ash from a test-piece for a picture frame; some left over sapelle from a garden table build; and leather straps from a scrapped handbag.

Made a Oak set a few years ago, sat under my bench ever since, gave it to a young family I know at start of lock down, they apparently have had a great time playing it, might get to have a go at some point.

Box looks good by the way.

I recently came across the idea of tensegrity for the first time and was intrigued enough to have a go. The stand comprises two 90 mm squares and stands approx 200 mm high - it is symmetrical so doesn't have a particular top or bottom.

I love the slightly surreal floating top shelf.

I suspect Google gives a lot of us very similar YouTube recommendations - I couldn't resist making one of those as well. Oddly satisfying!

Tensegrity. Definately eye catching, oddly mesmerising.

Still not entirely convinced it isn't witchcraft.

Now you have put a whole new aspect to the wizardry.

Fire pretty! (but lacquer drippy I'll have to recut this with 00 steel wool and add another coat tomorrow I think. It's always that last coat that gets me...)

Ash blank, about 5" across, burned the rim with a propane torch, brushed with a steel brush, burned again, cleaned with compressed air, sealed and rubbed gold embellishing wax into the grain before finishing all over with carnuba wax and lacquer.

A new cherry handle for an old Stanley 12 oz Warrington that belonged to my Dad.
Used spokeshaves, files and abrasives to shape. Finished with BLO.

To go with my lockdown baking, a pizza slice. Poplar (tulipwood) 7.5 mm thick, 340 mm wide to suit my pizza tile, maple handle. One coat of mineral oil.

 

[MikeJhn]

Is mineral oil the correct coating to use on a food item? genuine question, not trying to be a SA.
