That is very nice, I hope to be able to make some nice wooden toys for my boys later on too.
 
A pipe of applewood.

Nice one. I like the grain on this. Did you cannibalise another pipe for the mouthpiece, or did you make that too?

I haven't smoked for 35 years or more, but i still sometimes hanker after my old pipe.

Start again? No, I wouldn't be that daft!

Thanks. Yes, I made the mouthpiece too - I turned it as far as possible then used chisels, files, scrapers and abrasive paper.

I haven't smoked for more than 25 years and I don't intend to start again either :) . I was given some applewood full of splits so only suitable for small articles and a pipe was an interesting exercise.

New insert plate for my bandsaw table. I didn't like the round shape as it makes it harder to cut a new insert for the saw, but it came with a round one. So I made a new round insert but with a ledge, then I and put a square cutout in it:

I messed up a bit on my first cut so there's two in the insert but whatever it works fine and a new one is easy to make now.

Like the thinking behind this :D
 
Thanks, I like the change a lot. Also made a zero clearance insert for the table saw after having some thin strips get sucked down the side:

Me too! The simplest ideas are often the best.
 
I've lived a clean life for too long, I think a person deserves to have at least one vise.

Does the handle on the top of the bench wind the vice in or is that a separate project? :lol: [Or in other words what are you making with that wooden gear?]
 
Oh yeah that's for my tilting router lift (bought the plans from woodgears.ca), it actually came loose, I've screwed and unscrewed it too many times, as the plans warned not to do. I should embed a locking nut instead of screwing it directly into the wood to avoid it coming loose again.
 
I finished this today for a friend. His dad is an Amateur Boxing timekeeper and he thought he should have a replacement for the lead bossing stick he's been using.

I made this from Oak from an old spiked post in a barn that I picked up last week.

First time I made anything like this project, usually lightpulls, dibbers and french rolling pins.

A while ago since I last made something, very novice! Random rough chair from carcass timber.. Upholstered bits box for the mrs
Very basic skills compared to some of the work I've looked through. Amazing pieces.


 
Natural edge beech worktops.

Lovely work, what is the finish? That wood doesn't look beechy to me, more grain than I would expect and you don't usually get such a difference between sap and heart wood.

Units look good.

Thanks Chris, I just did the tops, think the units were b and poo! I used osmo oil, it's freshly applied in the pics which is why they look a bit shiney. The beech is from a tree that the client (tree surgeon) felled himself and had planked so it has a lot more character than your standard commercially grown stuff.
 
Not the last thing I made but a couple of things I made a while ago, taken as part of my photo a day for a year project.
