Fruit, veg and plant stand for a corner shop - made for the supplier who rents it to the shop. Pretty simple construction with pocket hole joinery, partially pre-built and assembled on site. Finished with two coats of an antique wax-based stain for a rustic, artisan look. Pictured ready to be loaded up

Must have been tight in your garage!
 
Must have been tight in your garage!
:):) - it would have been but I have a portable bench that goes outside so I built it in front of my garage .... pre-built the three frames and cut/drilled all the rest of the slats and braces etc ("dry assembled" with loads of trigger clamps to check it all worked) then stained all the timber. Just had to assemble it on site with structural stuff screwed and all the shelf slats fixed with staples from a battery nail gun. 60 minutes on-site.
 
I’ve some beautiful examples of turning on this thread truly exquisite in detail and design. Back to my level of woodwork I made these planters out of reclaimed fence panels and waste timber lying around my workshop. Had to buy the decking as didn’t have enough timber and made the 2 stands for the water butts to compliment each other . I haven’t decided on the final finish for the planters as yet but I do like the varied grain pattern . The timber tore up a fair bit as it was damp but I think it adds to the overall appearance-well that’s my story and I’m sticking to it 😂😂

Lovely! What are the black dots in the end of the through tenons?

Cheers. They're little walnut tapered pegs. Tapped into the tenon ends gently to give detail and also very slightly give a wedge effect, spreading the Tenon ends a smidge.

Thanks for the likes-it’s much appreciated
 
Some of you may have seen my thread asking for opinions on a piece of oak I had on the lathe,

Unfortunately the rot was too advanced, after cutting a tenon and turning it round a huge pice of the foot flew off so I had to remove the stem and remaining part of the foot and turn it into a simple bowl, cutting this was a nightmare, even with a freshly ground edge I was struggling to get clean cuts so ended up doing about 3 hours of sanding this morning, a few marks I couldn't get out but the honey gold colour makes up for that...
