Dave's Wooden Stuff

[DTR]

As I lost track of my original thread, I thought I'd make a fresh one to lose track of....

Sapele box

Garden gates

Tool chest

Walnut box

Grace's carving vice

Grace's little carving vice (business card holder)

Little sapele boxes (one finished, the other waiting)

Oak blackboard shelf

Jack's toy box

Some saw horses

Oak coat rack (naff photo)

Thanks for looking!

Great projects. Gates and toolchest are my favourites I think.

Nerf bullets on the floor by the gates - were you trying to keep some kids in or lock them out?

Lovely stuff Dave. Was going to ask where you sourced the vice handles so I could favourite the site for later reference. (You never know!) Then I realised you probably made them. Dammit.

Thanks. The nerfs are from next door's..... I think I'll still be finding them for years to come :roll:

Thanks. Sorry about the vice handles :lol:

Some really nice stuff ... except for the knife lines on the dovetails. They are awful. imho, of course.

Some very attractive items Dave, especially the walnut and sapele boxes and the gates.

Yes, knife lines are a bit Marmite so I usually plane them off....... (hammer)

You've been busy, haven't you?
Nice work!

 

[AES]

All lovely stuff IMHO (inc the knife lines!).

You make me sick DTR - there's no hope for blokes like me, you bash wood about just as well as you bash metal.

=D>

Thanks for posting.

As mentioned in the other thread, I've abandoned the hum-drum field of woodworking to go and work for British Aerospace. Here's a few shots of the current, multi-million pound contract I'm working on...

Preliminary design phase:

Investigation into the aeroelastic properties of the airframe structure:

Advanced testing of the avionics suite:

Configuring the aspect ratio of the rotor subsystem:

Wind tunnel testing:

Ready for delivery to the primary stakeholder:

 

[memzey]

Awesome (met project critical objectives)!

 

[AndyT]

Lovely stuff!

Where's the bit where the project goes three times over the original budget?
