I will soon be fully packing up my workshop ready for the sale of my current property, and the contents of my workshop will be going into a storage unit until i find myself a new property with a workshop.
What have people used to coat/cover their cast iron tops and steel hand tools for long...
Thanks sawtooth-9. It was a lot of work, but i am pleased with it. Will be giving it to my niece on Sunday.
I know it wont be to everyone’s tastes, it wasnt enough of a contrast for my liking, but it’s my 4yr old niece’s favourite colour so hopefully she’ll like it. If in future when she’s more...
Just finished making this bandsaw box for my niece. It’s the final real project in this current workshop before the house sale finally goes through! Outer layer is Oak Burr, centre layers are Ash which is sandwiched by Elm. The handles are made using a red stabilised maple burr, but I didn’t use...

Mine's disintegrated too, so I couldn't tell you the size sorry! I've still not sorted out a replacement for mine yet, but luckily not a big deal at the moment.
Thank you! I had a couple of different size branding irons made via etsy a few years ago. Something like…

Yes, that’s the one! Very informative thread.
Thank you Michael. The leather work is quite fiddly and surprisingly time-consuming, but very satisfying!
I did all of the box lining using Custard’s method above, but i adapted the method to make the ‘watch pillows’. Hopefully you can make out...
Thanks David. The hardware is at the below link. Although a little pricey, they are incredibly well made and well worth the money. Unfortunately i had already hand planed an angle of 2.5degs to the box sides so wasnt able to do the router table method they recommend, but doing them by hand wasnt...
