What did you do in your workshop today ?

[Bm101]

Mark. Everytime I see your updated shed pics it looks a little more Catholic mate
Doing a bit of tool buying have we? :wink:

 

[MarkDennehy]

Little bit
To be fair, only two of those haven't been used yet (the #06 and the #55C), everything else has been used at least once, whether on the bench or the crib or the little shed projects.


That's my story and I'm sticking to it

 

[Phil1975]

Tried a new tactic on a project that has been ongoing for far too long - partly because I just couldn't suss out how to make a 45 degree corner.
Corners came out at 44.9 degrees & look OK, so I'll take that!
I'm learning that woodworking is about the correct techniques applied in the correct order. A good day.

Not so much in the workshop, but from the workshop. I made £140 profit at a craft sale from selling some pens, a couple of clocks and a few bowls. I also picked up a few commissions for clocks and yarn bowls. I made more than any of the other tables. Which was nice!

Do you have any photos of the clocks Penny?, would like to see them.

Work in progress...

Dovetailing in pine sucks as much as I remember...

And I'm still peeved at woodies selling 1' lengths of 11mm thick pine scarfed together as a single 1.8m length. Damn things are about as straight as a Tory MP's expences claim form.

Nice #722 !!

Thank you!
It's a lovely little thing to use. I know record didn't do too many original tools but the ones they did were really really well-designed. I mean, does anyone not like the #043?

Even funnier that all the MPs prosecuted (at least up til 2013) were labour. :lol:

That's because most Tory MP's are lawyers or know a very good one who is very slippery. =D>

Probably one recommended by Vaz ...

Hi folks.

I'm new to wood working and have decided to take it up as a hobby.
This is my first project I completed this week. Converting a circular saw to a bench saw.
It has a moveable lockable fence that works well.

Here you go. Mostly made with random bits of wood from the club 'scrap' bin. Far more labour than financial outlay, but quite fun to do!

Thanks for sharing those Penny, appreciated. There's a definite sense of satisfaction from making something new with old wood, it's nice to give it a new life. Great clocks, am glad they are selling. All the best, Dave.

Good effort and well worth doing, but do get a crown guard, there are other things, but that should be in the tool review thread, perhaps post there for more advice on what you need to do.

Thanks Mike.

I have also made a cross cut and miter jig for it. I will look into getting a crown guard. I have all ten fingers and intend to keep it that way,

My next project will be a mortice and tenon jig for my router. I'll post that as I go.

Technically yesterday, but finally made a replacement for the broken plastic insert on my Axminster HBS310N bandsaw with a perfect fitting boxwood insert

(Since ordering a Record BS400 this bandsaw will be for sale on the forum before long)

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the BS400 when you get it if you don't mind. Looking at that myself. Thanks, Dave.
