Post a photo of the last thing you made

[Well, like any woodworker I just look at them as a series of minor mistakes.
They play pretty well though- I was a pro player before I became a builder so I know what I like in that regard.

I'm hoping the next few are a step up in terms of finish and overall build quality.[/quote]

Ha ha, I know what you mean. I made my first guitar last year and feel exactly the same - a series of minor mistakes but it plays quite well. Not sure I have the resolve to attempt another!

Thanks XY! It was fiddly work, and I only just had enough rosewood, and barely enough time to get it done. Suprisingly, the names were relatively easy, even though they're composed of about 70 components.

How clever =D>

I can see that if you are used to using an ' Eye operating tool ' then what I see as tricky would fall easily to you.
Nice job.

Well I can put in a photo too:

I made a strange hanging basket with a huge colander I got from the tip and two hammers I bought from eBay for under a tenner

I drilled a hole big enough so a long coach screw would go through then welded it on the back of the claw. I've never struggled so much just drilling a 10mm hole- It never crossed my mind that the head would be hardened and snap/blunten drill bits for a pastime just need to fill it with some flowers now.
After having the other planters I made empty for months, I finally bought 1 plant, then another, then another and started filling them.

I just wanted to update with them finally being used
I'm sure the novelty of getting my hands muddy will soon wear off- probably around the time all the plants start dying :lol:

Very attractive planters Coley. I like them very much.

You manage to get so much movement and drama into your carving, simple little figurines but they're full of vitality. I exhibit furniture at a couple of county shows each year and get to see endless amateur wood carving, almost all of it is as dull as ditchwater, your stuff makes most of it look like firewood by comparison.

@Coley51...that planter at the back looks nice. My MiL is after a planter, I might try a similar style.

This weekend I finished off my firewood store;

I've since filled in the sides at the top, and I've realised I don't have as much wood as I thought it did.

(also...yes, I need to do some gardening).

Wow thanks thats probably the best compliment I've ever received so far.

What county shows do you go to? I noticed you're in the south east and was wondering if perhaps we may have crossed paths.

That's very cool =D>

Can't remember the last thing I posted here, so here's a piece I finished recently.

White oak nesting tables. Shellac and oil finish, with the carvings picked out in yellow ochre milk paint.

 

[monkeybiter]

I rather like those tables, very nice to see carved detail on the edge. What did you use to colour he Oak? [The main brown]
