Me again, although arguably, scratching away with pencils is a lot easier than properly making stuff.
It's a naked lady. Don't get too excited.

Some awesome work on here!!
Stevied or Jamie Porter or anybody else on here.
Anybody fancy making me a tuned or cnc'd aluminium whiskey glass from a billet rod?
Another pimped Brompton - this time with Alfine 11-speed hub, Hope discs, Woodguards, Cambium saddle, Brompfication bits,...

I like! I like! I want! I want! 😆
How much does that cost? May need to save up for one now.

Well, this was one of a pair, converting existing bikes - off the top of my head:
Alfine 11-speed kit: £740
Rear disc: £140
Front disc kit: £400
Woodguards: £150
Not sure about the other bits.

Ok, may need to sell bikes to get that for more city use.
Will give you a call once I am ready.

Cool - can also do it with a Rohloff of course 😀

That's too expensive for now I am afraid unless I strike the jackpot this Friday.
I just want to try out something Japanese this time. i.e. Shimano Alfine.

Well the custom rear triangle I make is the same for both, so you'd still have the option later if you wanted some German engineering 😉

Good to know that so time to save up.

I really like that samuri. Was it drawn from a model sitting in front of you or a random photo?
Thanks. Photo from a stock website. Getting the right reference picture helps a lot. Any model that would be prepared to sit in front of me for the amount of time it takes me would be very patient indeed. 😉
New Cedar clad garage door. It had to be replaced after trying to teach my 11 year old how to reverse the car...he stepped on the accelerator rather than the brake! 😳
Happy with the end result though!

That's very nice. When I was about the same age I also wrecked the garage doors while trying to reverse 😉
I wrote and recorded a song. And this mediocre lyric video for it. The song's good though.
More on my [url= http://www.soundcloud.com/the1fletch ]Soundcloud[/url] if you like.
Following on from my last drawing, I've now found a practical use for it. Labels on wine bottles with wine in that I also made.

Like those doors ross , any photos of the process ?
Made this a week past thursday.
To replace this delightful cupboard the previous owner left us.
In my garage/workshop, got another one to build along the back as well.
Making my own panels for bulkhead interior that a garage in the past throughtfully cut out when replacing top corners with craply masticed on patches. If only i knew what i know now ! Ive found various road signs and tarmac used in various repairs , all reciepted as well 😮 from a now defunct garage in friockheim - locals will have half an idea , you only have 3 options and 2 are still working 🙂
Lets not let this thread die, guys.
I made this. I can't draw guitars or hands though, evidentally. Everyone loves a bit of Angus.

Just finished making this kitchen table for a friend.
It's Tiger/Brown Oak and stainless steel rod. The top sections are fairly well matched but I didn't have the boards to do it completely mirrored. Looks alright mind.
It's due to have a glass top fitted so it'll be wider and longer when done.
I likes it 🙂
Kayak
That is a beautiful thing,well done ,you are a very clever man.

😀
table and lynx are ace!
Another parquet floor for me...they seem to be getting popular again. Kayak, that table is beautiful - I've had the pleasure of doing a few brown oak floors years ago, but that table is putting brown/tigger oak to much better use (IMO). How are the joins to the legs done?

Just mitred and biscuit-jointed. Nice and quick, nice and simple... 😀
A much as I love this thread, a bit of me dies when I look at it and think 'hmmmmm, what have I made......?' and the answer is generally, 'nothing'....
Might have to post up some pics of my current bedroom re-decoration that's ongoing. Although is painting and screwing some skirting to the walls 'made'??
Good work everyone though! Love Kayak's oak table and all the machined bits of loveliness, and Samuri's drawings...etc.
Mike, I have no idea what that is but I want one anyway 😉

I've been very busy indeed so here goes.
New wood store. Needs the roof putting on but apart from that, ready to go.

Top sheddery Samuri.
Ta. It's smaller than anticipated but still big enough for us. Once full it'll keep us going through winters combined with our other wood store. I messed up with the middle post on the front there, it's a couple of inches too far forwards but it'll be fine.
samuri, hurry up and get filling it with wood before the local smokers start using it to shelter from the rain!!
