Crimbo pressie for a musical friend who is coming over this evening.

Blimey, that's clever! I thought you were going to inlay the musical notes, but that's way more special.

Mark, you must share the secret of your productivity, completed projects are just flying out of your workshop. Great stuff!

Thanks Custard :) The secret is my wife was doing the cooking and watching junior for a few days while I basically ignored everything else and lived in the shed...

Thanks chaps. The Notes are pinned in place. Kitchen bamboo skewers are exactly 3mm in diameter, apparently.
 
Finally got my home made router plane to a useable condition (still have some bits which I’d like to improve).

The blades are Veritas and the body is an antique Lignum Vitae lawn bowls ball with Boxwood handles and mostly brass hardware.

Oh very nice indeed. Would love to see the other pictures...
 
I made an oak sliding box in between christmas/new year, this was a gift for my brother, I used some of custards quartersawn oak for the base, the rest is american white oak, it was really appreciated.

Ohhhh, come on. That's a beautiful bit of work. I love a bit of tool making. Deserves a WIP, I'd bet I'm not alone in expressing an interest. =D> =D> =D>

Some lovely stuff on here lately.
Two (well three) beautifully made but very different boxes on the last two pages alone. Very nice. I'n the middle of a load of building work here and I have shed time envy. :(
 
I take my hat off to you, Lignum is a phenomenally difficult timber to work, so shaping it as precisely as that is quite an achievement!

=D>
