I have posted something similar on the what have you made today thread. However I thought I would post here as it is all turning related. I am just finishing my lathe workbench (just some drawers to sort out in the base) and I threw together a small project dust collector, based on designs on...

I am making some flooring for my workshop from t&g chipboard with some thin strips of oak laminated to the top ( to match the appearance and thickness of some salvaged solid wood flooring I have down. The oak is,about 5 mm thick and glued on in 50 mm wide strips with Titebond 2 and finished...

I have just been given my first toothing plane, blade by Aaron Hildick, body by G P Preston & sons of Sheffield, it has a metal base plate. Looking forward to cleaning it up and using it. Is the base plate likely to be a later attachment? Will post a picture if anyone interested.

This is from a book on fantasy scroll saw creatures by Jean Petersen. It is in oak made on my Jet scroll scroll. I did it quickly for my daughters birthday this week. If I had had more time I would have used one solid piece of wood and not laminated together three pieces of oak! This leads to...

I decided I needed to build my first proper bench, as my thrown together work top on legs was no longer fit for purpose. :oops: So I had one of these and then I bought some of these and with a bit of hand planing with my wooden jointer et al I made four of these. I then made my first...

I bought a used Jet scroll saw from Axminster's ebay site on an impulse and have finally got around to using it for a project. I have already realised I need to alter the hex key blade holder to a turnkey for quick blade changes. This is a gift for my nephew Leo's first birthday. Made out of...

I have just bought several small selections of oak, beech, meranti etc. from Woodworx in Ovenden in Halifax. Jon Scaife who runs it sells small amounts of off cuts on eBay as igothelot or from his workshop in Ovenden (open weekday mornings only). Nice guy, very helpful and a good supply of a...

I had a mad ebay moment and as the only bidder I am now the proud but slightly surprised owner of several wooden planes. There are three moulding planes (one with a broken wedge top), a Jack plane (missing blade and wedge), a jointer plane and two coffin planes. Having done some reading and...

Following Don's recent thread on his Worksharp workstation build I thought I would show a slight variation. Mine has been reversed with the table on the left-hand side so I can still mount the knife and scissor sharpener attachment. It is dowelled, screwed and glued together. It is made...

This is the second box I have made. It is made of quartersawn oak, with a walnut inlay in the lid and a cedar base. It is about 10 cm high and roughly A4 sized. It was finished with three coats of Danish oil and then waxed. I wish I had had more time to do the fabulous wood full justice...

I thought I would post my on going work on my TS 200 workstation as I have shamelessly borrowed from several previous threads on this site and as I have also made several not very intelligent design decisions maybe someone will avoid the mistakes I made. I bought the bare bones saw about a year...
