Thanks Mark, my next task is to box them up, I have a long cardboard box that will be perfect, just need to find and shape some foam to fit in the box to present them.

Got tired of the pillar drill taking space on my temp bench so knocked together a flip top cabinet thing. Then of course I had to make one for the bandsaw, which doubles as a mitre saw stand. All stuff I had onhand - chipboard from dismantled inbuilts, assorted hardware, etc. Heights are slightly askew because the band saw is taller than the pillar drill, that's what you get for not planning anything. I imagine putting them on smaller wheels and fitting them under my bench, when I get around to making one.

Nothing complicated, but while some epoxied cracks were curing on a couple of slabs i decided to give my drill press a little upgrade.

First attempt at something smaller on my new lathe rather than the Proxxon mini I had been using for this type of stuff, in case you can't guess pocket penlight made with Acrylic.

This one I was finishing for secret Santa. when my wife saw it, View attachment 126470 I was forbidden to sending it to anyone. It was going in her personal collection she said.

Wow, that is beautiful, it would be a keeper for me too

Dont know the reason but a wood handle always looks better than plastic.

I made some play blocks for my niece and nephew. Made out of utile, with a finger-jointed box (also utile). Was a lot of fun, except for the moment I realised that the finger joints didn't line up (somehow I'd made a few gaps too wide and so the fingers went out of alignment, had to fix with chisels and shims). My first time using a table saw, first time doing thicknessing, and first time edge-jointing too.

Left the blocks unfinished for now as they'll be chewed on by a toddler. The box is finished with danish oil, and thinking about adding a wax coat over that.

Valuable lessons learned ... sand long lengths of wood before cutting them into hundreds of short lengths of wood. Don't forget to wipe off excess oil after each coat, oops. Shop around for wood, and don't be scared of sawn boards, they can be tamed. Don't fill every space with tools or there's nowhere to put the current project.

Thanks Mark, I was trying to Make shapes with the grain by making shapes with the wood, I think it worked

Made a couple of pieces from silver birch today, a plain bowl and a spalted tray type thing

I got way too close at the bottom of the bowl and made it paper thin so filled the chuck mortise with resin to strengthen it and stop it breaking
