Woodworking

Hi everyone,

A first set of forms for this year! It’s a cnc cut solera + outer mould + side bending form, made of plywood, MDF board, aluminum pipe, threaded rods and PLA.

Hi, can you please help me identify this router bit? It came in a set of bits and there’s no further explanation. I am seeing this for the first time and have absolutely no idea how and what for could I use it. (Though I am an ultimate routing rookie).

CNC cut from 12mm plywood. Maybe I should send a job application to IKEA?.

Test project on my new CNC machine

I needed a cheap sketchbook for just penciling stuff out and not wasting good paper. But newsprint sketchbooks are ridiculously expensive.

It’s made of cherry because that’s what I have a lot of now. The shape is based on an Atkins Perfection template I have, but I had to cut it up and move things around to account for the unusual hole pattern.

I have my old kitchen pantry in the shop for general storage. It’s 24” wide and 24” deep which made reaching for things in the back of the shelf a real hassle. Not to mention making it hard to see back there.

Built a japanese toolbox out of oak scraps, using my japanese handtools for my japanese handtools.

I had the griddle hooked on a couple screws for a long time, and my partner encouraged me to finally upgrade.

Someone recommended these a while back. The 280 grit worked very quickly; the 120 flap wheel took off material too fast. The sanding wheel used the spring mount that I happened to already have from the cutting set. It wore down pretty quickly, so getting a bigger pack of off -brand ones would be more economic. So much easier than sanding by hand!

In cherry. It’s mostly a copy of one my parents have, though they requested replacing three drawers with a swing door and movable shelves.

Finished up the workbench. Made with mostly free 2x4s, with some extra 2x6s purchased.

Finished my turning saw yesterday! I’m very happy with how it came out. Darker wood is white oak, lighter is Port Orford cedar, all finished with BLO and paste wax. It was made from plans by Rex Krueger.

Friends had this bottle that had lost its stand, asked me for a replacement, super happy with the result. First time I’ve managed a proper glossy finish that I’m actually pleased with

Mahogany I think

Following up on my previous post: finished with the miter saw. Sanded the handle and blade, jointed and sharpened the teeth, waxed the blade, BLO on the handle, polished the reinstalled the nuts.
