Those wardrobes from a page or so back. Finished now bar a lick of paint. Sliding doors to follow when her ladyship decides what finish she wants. Quite chuffed with it, never really made anything like this before.
I know that feeling bn. We went through the mess phase a couple of months back, took us a while to get sorted as I couldn’t get much time off work but we start moving in on Monday. Definitely all worth it in the end.
After a disaster with the down tube, I had to chop off half the head tube / down tube lug and fillet braze it on. It looks like the downtube is held on with chewing gum!!
Painted with rattle cans, it looks OK, but I dont expect it too last…
(I also made the jig!)

re carbon, i disagree actually. show me a carbon framed mc that has won a championship. as it happens we just made what the chap wanted – the running gear is gsxr afaik.
Not really up to the standard of some of the woodworking on this thread, but clad this staircase (open with returns on one side, scribed (no shadow gap allowed 🙂 ) to existing string.
Oh how I’ve moved on since then! I now know that really wasn’t a mess in the scheme of things. Thankfully, I’m not moving in at the end of the month now.
And, rather boringly given the standards of this thread, a wheel. Quite pleased with it as the truing stand was the back end of my bike, a pencil, and two elastic bands:
They let me play in the workshop today,so I made a base for my new compact camera.I hope that this will help keep my sausage fingers away from the on off button 🙄
I bought a little MP3 speaker kit from Kitronik as a little test project.
Really cool little kit with a pcb which you just solder everything to following the instructions, and it cost under £6!
I had this old Ammunition box and so decided to mount it in there. Little Birch-Ply speaker surrounds and a bullet for the external volume knob.
It runs off a 9v batter, or can be plugged into a DC adaptor.
Pretty sweet.
Had a slight shock after lifting our carpet – discovered the stairs were riddled with woodworm on top of being completely rotten near the base. Mostly they were being held together with plasterboard.
The stairs were probably the 1812 originals. The base of the old strings was simply resting on a brick tile laid on an open area of dirt. The dirt had been busy letting in moisture to the underside of the stairs (which had been sealed quite recently with some plasterboard).
An emergency carpentry session was called for, along with having to fill in the dirt patch with cement to match the rest of the ground floor (which is about as flat as the austrian alps).
