What is the last thing you made? (pics pls)

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.

(New to singletrack so I don't know why it posted twice)

I don't know if it counts as I can't claim to have 'made it' but I did design it (before swiftly handing it over to others to detail and build).

[i] f****** mess. [/i]

What was it like before you moved in?

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.

I made a hydraulic to road shifter adapter thingymybob.

Works too! now removed for a neater hope v twin.

@stuarty Still alive. The pie was actually delicious, it's just the photo that was dodgy.

A leather case for my camera:

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:

camera case is rather tasty!

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.

More shonky wood stuff:

I had a load of wood off cuts building up which needed somewhere to live, some pallets, some crappy timber =

It's only temporary until we can have a (few) decent bonfires, but i've been waiting all winter for the rain to stop 😉

It's my Managers 50th and we were all asked to buy/make him some random presents.
I made him a Chip in a Bottle...

....and no, I do not have too much time on my hands... 😀

A Clancy LadyBug RC plane. It has a 22 inch wingspan and was built from plans and covered in the traditional tissue and dope.

More adapted than made, but modified my Lezyne Femto to work as a bar end light

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).

That Mini Clubman looks brilliant. I like!

Where are the internal mud guards?

What's the insurance like?

loving that Tandem.

I made another picture.
It's Jens, attacking, as usual.

[Oh, and I made this thread, of course]

Is that where you'll be sleeping, when you've been bad?

I think that is gorgeous and would like one myself 🙂

that there is a proper mans fence

Possibly. I also had the tent up in the garden this week for Mademoiselle, and nearly found myself in there at one point!

Alas, I built it rather than made it. My making stuff is rather more robust in design:

nicely done.

porter_jamie - are you going ahead with making a stumpjumper clevis to use non-specialized shocks? it's cool if you're not and I shall know to pursue other avenues

[/highjack]

ourmaninthenorth - nice woodstack

lovely shiny machinework from porter_jamie (again). if I ever need anything machined I know where to come.

@bearnecessities - build by an engineer in the 60s. Sister house next door is equally well built.

@morthernmatt - hence the large pile of wood (store holds 4m3 of wood). Winter before last we had 4 months spending £500 a month on gas. Never again!

Little bash guard to stop me bending my chainring.
