I make leather journal covers now and again and turn the occasional fountain pen. I bind the journals too. I thought I would print a jig for piercing the A5 journals to stitch the A6 book. Not necessary but it makes the job slightly easier.
This is awesome, something I'd love to give leather craft a try some day.
 
Laser cut some clear acrylic trays for my recent coffee station, acrylic is not very forgiving, got the thickness slightly wrong and cracked/snapped a few bits trying to force them together ha, but they are holding with no glue so far. Did plan on using superglue but ran out.

No matter where I place my bandsaw I always end up walking into the fence rail.
I had no tennis balls to stick on the end so printed one haha, sadly I had no TPU filament so it's still pretty hard, but it's at least rounded now.

A slap-it-off paddle for my ancient table saw. My Elektra Bekum table saw just has two 15mm buttons to turn it on or off. I want an off switch actuator that is more readily available, the sort where you don't have to find when something goes wrong or you can operate with your knee. Designed from scratch using Designspark Mechanical. Two parts: a black mounting plate screwed to the saw frame and the red paddle. Thinking about filling the STOP recessed into the front with a contrasting colour but I guess it'll be a round-twoit job.

Something I've been thinking of doing for a while now.
You've given me the kick up the buttocks to get it done.

Nice one 😄
 
This a 2.5d model of the Fairfield horseshoe in the lake district and officially the hardest thing to photograph and get it to look good!

its about 150x150 in oak and took the majority of a Sunday to do. The finishing path with a 0.5 mm tapered bit with a 0.25 step over was 2 hours on its own.
Great detail and very little finishing needed.

very cool, how did you build the 3d file?
 
The file I cheated and used touch terrain. Dragged that into fusion 360 and did the tool paths from there.

Is that a KGT500? If so, I'd be interested in the files, please.
 
I saw that there was a plain till on boxes.py but wasn't a fan of the design especially the fact that it sits vertical.

So I decided to design my own in fusion 360, made it fully parametric so in theory I can make one for each size plane by changing a few parameters.
Cut out of 4mm mdf, works great for my block plane. Not too sure 4mm mdf is going to be enough for my larger planes but will give it a try this weekend and let you know.

Laser cut a couple of dovetail markers, thought they'd look good in acrylic.
I may have gone over the top with 6mm acrylic though, they are chunky.
