Been busy making pressies ...

[gidon]

After realising we spend a small fortune on presents each year (my wife being one of eight (most of them with children) doesn't help, we've been on a cost cutting exercise:

Yellow Poplar mirror recycled from a disgusting one we inherited with the house (for ?):


Bubinga photo frame with Ash keys (for sister):




Plant pot holder (I'd forgotten how frustrating it is working with Pine) (for father-in-law):


More pics including ones of WIP here:

And I'm not done yet - another three frames still waiting to be finished - but I won't bore you with those .

Cheers

Gidon

Gidon,
Lucky recipients I should say!

I like the ash and ebony frame very much - also your oak hall table. Nice work.

 

[Gill]

Those are lovely. I'm sure they'll be well received.

Thanks chaps.
Beejay - well no-one got the front door for Christmas - although that's what my wife was hoping for - but she got it soon after .
John - however accurately I setup up my table saw the only way I get really tight mitres is using a shooting board:

Cheers
Gidon

Well done gidon, I'm gonna have to make myself a shooting board. :wink:
