Got to sail the lockdown built model yacht!

Is it remote control?

Yes, it's a multi-purpose creation.
Prototype - for young grand-children - was an A4 size 2 mm Perspex (cut in two) effort to demonstrate root & shoot growth of a Broad Bean seed; it received a luke warm reception

Having made my wife a box for her candles (cue Ronnie Barker Jokes ) she requested (instructed) that I made some to be given as Christmas presents so I raided the scrap pile.

Nice . I like the grain on the ash lid, How much quicker do you think it was batch making

Is it remote control?

Yes although the rudder was too stiff and the sails too large for the wind conditions. So was very much uncontrolled!!

Thanks Ian. I have just totted it up and I spent twice the time making five than it took to make the original one. Some of that improvement in productivity will be down to faffing around on the first one and I also did the sliding lids on these on the router table rather than by hand.

A pair of my RFC Cheviots which a chap drove almost 600 miles to pick up! 90lbs per cab. Brich ply cabs, American Black Walnut veneer with solud Walnut mitred frame into which a grille frame fits, secured by neodimium magnets bonded into front baffle beneath veneer. Liberon fine finishing oil finish followed by several burnish coats of Black Bison wax to create a subtle lustre.

Our workshop has just completed a pair of doors (replacement for old Victorian ones) on a public building. They are are 9 feet high, made using utile timber

Table, combining the (reshaped) legs from one table with the top of another table. All solid oak, finished with Osmo. The table will be stored in the garage during winter. To this end, the legs are removable - they are held in place with two wedges that are visible in the close up picture. This works better than my first try which yielded an unstable table.
Buying furniture second-hand is a great way to obtain wood for a small price here - typically less than €25 for a piece.

(Also posted this on the “Something you have recycled thread” - not sure where it belongs....)

25$ for solid oak. If you parted that table out like a used car. You have a lot of good wood there. You could never buy it for that in the store. I see 8 pepper mills in those legs , lol. Through the eyes of a wood turner!

 

[clogs]

just wish I could find wood/furniture like that here.........
found a beat up 1/2 rotten pine trunk at the bins...the sides are around 20inches X wide 1/2 thick....
one peice of wood.....!!!!!!!! unobtainium now......

 

[Molynoox]

I needed a cabinet to hide all the kids’ toys. Came up with an idea for the doors and went from there I picked something that I thought might be quite quick because if the repeatable actions, but they actually ended up taking me ages!

I’m almost happy with the result, and the toys are gone.

[Jameshow]

Stunning piece of work

 

[thetyreman]

made myself a router base, yes a power router! planning on using it to make some electric guitars and will be making jigs soon, it's a bit rough and took 3 attempts, hence the holes.
