Dear Two-Bum Pete
You do make some nice tools.

Nutmeg grinder for my daughter, who made the mistake of admiring the one I made for my wife

My very first attempt at Stair baulisters

 

[Doris]

They are really nice. I like the style a lot.

What wood did you use for the handrails?

 

[Robinthree]

Thanks a lot, I used 4 x 4 pine for the rails
My style is the chunky country look , the issues I had was the integrated uprights wernt level , well the bottom one was and the middles were out so when I put in the spindles I had to eye ball it as best I could because having them level made them look out, it took a bit longer than expected, a 12ft landing and 12 ft staircase

Scorp photos for Doris





Its just a piece of O1 with a bevel and holes, bent cold and hardened and tempered, then screwed to a lump of shaped oak.
Next time I would leave the ends by the holes flat so it beds easer.

Its crude but works very well, you can really hog off some wood across the grain and get a nice finish with the grain.

nice that pete,
would it be called a travisher?

I think you are right TT.

I take that as a compliment. It is very good cake I should add.

So you should! On examining the photo more closely, the stand looks pretty impressive - I could happily make the base and two cake supports but it would probably take weeks of roaming through woodland to find suitable pieces to join the bits together

Actually it's all made from kilm dried timber.

Just took a look at your blog. Beautiful pieces. It certainly takes an artist's eye (which I must state I unfortunately don't have) to see a tree where there are just some pieces of wood, or a nice bench "inside" a tree trunk. I'll be sure to go on visiting

"Post a photo of the last thing you made" Think it was this unless making sawdust and noise counts.

 

[monkeybiter]

Nice mitred joints, how were they made/reinforced?

Reminds me of the explanation as to why Noah didn't do any fishing. He only had 2 worms! #-o

A couple of months after I posted a blue Windsor stool here, I decided I didn't like it so I repainted it with a couple of coats of Windsor green. Looks much better now I think but the old blue colour pokes through here and there which is nice.
