So being locked down at home thought I'd build a new house,..........
For the cat.
She loves the sun but when she gets too hot she likes to sit in the shade for a bit, built this some years ago now looking the worse for wear, it used to be thatched with reed screening

For a cat?!

You've not thought this through fully, have you. Where's the leg-hold trap, or the rotating knives, or at least the trapdoor into the dog kennel? :lol: :lol:

 

[Phil Pascoe]

The cat won't go in it anyway. It's a cat.

 

[owen]

Nice job! Bet the cat sits on top of it though 8) :lol:

 

[lurker]

Every cat owning MP will be putting one of those on their expenses.

Another small bowl (3" sycamore blank). I'm trying to do a few bits of turning a week to build up some time on the lathe, I figure the more I do the less likely it is that I'll put a bowl gouge through my own face...

Tung oil and button shellac and a briwax top coat for finishing.

I'm really liking the S-shaped tool rest.

made an ipad pro stand for my dad out of redwood pine, my first project using spray lacquer, it was sprayed outside on sawhorses.

That's as tidy as your usual work Ben. Did you have a play about before to decide on the dimensions you needed? No criticism, just wondered if you needed a board of that size to stabilise the device. Just thinking out loud.
I am summat of an hengineer myself as I say although it's all self imagined I'm proud to boast. No proper colleges were needed here let me tell you. Hence when Billnextdoor was ruminating that his sky box had packed up the other night when the neighbours were summoning the Old Gods by clapping the NHS and possibly wassailing the apple trees for good measure. 'Ah' I said wisely.
Tapping my nose. Might be able to sort that. I might have winked.
Tbh. When I got round to it today I wasn't sure what size sky boxes are. Or in fact how they make your telly work. So I made 3 to cover the basics. Unfortunately I have run out of white paint so no clouds were able to be painted. But by and large I think Billnextdoor will be over the moon. One of them is bound to work. Wouldn't you say? Science! You can't knock it.

@bm101 thanks , yes I worked out it needed that much wood for the weight to be counterbalanced properly, my dad who it's made for also wanted that much surface area so he can easily write and make notes with i-pad facing t'other way. like this..

 

[Bm101]

Like your style. :wink:

Octopus Coat Rack. Made from walnut worktop offcuts I had knocking about the workshop.

Doris!

Love it as always!

 

[MarkDennehy]

More practice. Turned out nice, got the walls fairly thin. 3" sycamore blank to jellybean dish for Calum. Poppyseed oil and blonde shellac finish.

 

[Farm Labourer]

Made of ash and I also made the hinges, pivots and ratchets.

 

[maznaz]

My lockdown project. The first thing I've built that's at all straight and square. I copied shamelessly from pictures on the internet and I'm very happy with how it turned out. I hope to make many things on it for many years!

Playing around with the CNC

This is a small shoe rack/seat made to fit in a small space next to my friend's front door. It is made from a bunch of spare laminate flooring plus a little real oak for edging.

The design includes clearance for the skirting board that will run behind it and to the left of it. Primarily made with a track saw and a Domino machine.

Once the lockdown is suitably relaxed it can make its way to its final destination and we will see how accurately I measured the available space.

Cheers,
Chris

The empty outer pot has been taunting me for some months/years. All the copper is from pumbing pipe offcuts.

That's impressive! Any more pictures? How many pieces and how big? Did you solder them together then beat it out? I'm intrigued and impressed.

It's very nice and obviously well made, but I wonder at the design choice to carry over the left side of the top, but not the right, even if the right side is flush to the wall it just looks "not quite right" to my eyes.

To me the left side has now become a "feature" that stands out.

Just my thoughts on the visuals - and I doubt I could make this myself yet.





Cheers,
Chris
