Originally built to use to do inverted rows with, but realized with a bit more effort it might come in handy for other exercises if the bar could be placed at different heights. Just need to figure out what other exercises they may be.
Why are the supports in different places?
Not up to the usual STW standard but I just made a Useless box for the smallest offspring.

Why are the supports in different places?
There's a support each side, one attached to the middle block, and one attached to an upright. Otherwise there would have been too many screws running into that bottom middle block (ie 7). Where there's a single screw on the upright going into a middle block, there's two screws either side of it hidden going through from the middle block into the other upright. It's a bit rough round the edges, ie the gaps aren't all equidistant so the bar's a bit stiff in some and loose in others, but overall it seems to work.
genuinely feel blessed to be here.
lordy stoner, your piccies bough back some memories. 😀 I've (re)built 3 spitties over the years.
The Triumph SC engine is a solid little lump that'll stand quite a bit of tuning if you're interested in that sort of thing. I had one the was skimmed, ported, with a set of Webbers, SS branch exhaust and electronic ignition, that was good for over 100bhp. Not much these days, but pretty racy in a spit!
I didnt know you were a Spit man.
Ive seen Sideways Tim has a green one.
Its runnign well, although we think rear NS bearing or hub carrier is failing so will get that sorted. Bro is v chuffed with it. Flew past its MOT.
Given how cheap they are Im toying with getting one too. For my boys you understand. Every 9 & 6yr old should have a car, obviously.,.... ahem....
I may have posted this before but here's some of my pottery. More incoming.

They make such a lovely little high day and holiday car. Easy to work on, and bog standard spanner and hammer servicing. I've driven mine to France (all the way to the Cote D'Azur and back) and the Frenchies love 'em
had a late 1V 1500 and two early mk1V 1300. Mate had a GT6 soft-top. A mk3 GT6 with the rear tub of a Spitty bolted on, when I win the lottery...

The rubber feet are an old inner tube.
Always in awe of the skills people on here have. I'm a very limited diyer at best but have just finished this bespoke to fit the gap log store (in double the hours a competent diyer would have taken). It's necessary as we've had a stove fitted so I'm more STW now than before.

Door and architrave. Ebonised Cherry veneer over grey Valcromat, CNC'd to etch in the graphic design. The 'catch, is in the recess: a pair of magnets in the frame provide resistance with mild steel plate in the door, doubling as a handle.

Thank you. Wasn't sure what you meant about the orientation until I viewed on laptop just now. I posted it from my phone, where it looks normal. Clearly I'm better at making things than using the internet.
Those little birds are great, really nicely executed.
Kayak, those birds are outstanding.

I'm definitely 'taking some inspiration' from that desk tidy, lovely thing.
Ref: stair balustrades, presume Lad Bible are such lads they don't need to comply with building regs.
Glad you like it 🙂
I used some old shotguns shell (used ;). Knocked out the copper caps in the centre with a bradle or whatever. Got an offcut of oak from the woods. Screwded on the cartridges from above.
I wish I could get more shells and make bigger one 🙂
I could post you some spent shotgun cartridges, but not sure if RM might scan parcels or trace powder residue.....
I needed gift inspiration for other half‘s xmas and bday, she shoots, so I think I need afew hours in the workshop next week!

And it was sold for a lot less than what the dealer is asking- but it's been on their site for over a year!
There's some fantastic stuff on here! 😀 I've been catching up!
Loving the Spit stoner, lovely work, I restored a Mk 3 in the early 90's, great little cars.
Three fish, your door is outstanding, as are kayak's many and varied contributions. Top skills everyone!
I've spent a lot of this year doing another 'refit' to my boat, 5 years since the last one and seemingly long enough to forget the blood sweat and tears and once again completely underestimating the time required to do the boat some form of justice, but, so worthwhile when it all works out. I'll post a few photo's in the next few days

It had been sitting outdoors for 10 years - I had to dismantle some of it with an angle grinder. But stripped it down, repainted it, machined some new parts for it, and rebuilt it with some new parts.

And it's now as good as new. It's going to be used in our local park.

I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking we have some outstandingly talented people on this here forum.
Constantly amazed by the standard of the things made, especially the not so obvious ones by people that have recycled something or just 'had a go'
I take my hat off to every single one of you.
Made a kilo of "[i]specia[/i]l" Coconut, Rum and Lime truffles for a mate who got out of hospital yesterday in time for xmas at home with his family. He's been in hospital for the previous 8 weeks getting pretty major surgery to remove his oesophagus and stretch his stomach up to create a new oesophageal passage.
[img] 
[/img]
300ml of cold pressed coconut oil and 20ml of Lecithin heated up in a slow cooker, add in 25g of decarboxylated cannabis (power plant crossed with nevilles haze) and leave on low for 8 hrs, strain mixture through cheesecloth and whilst warm mix in 300g Callebaut Crème a La Carte Marc de Champagne ganache then add generous measure of Rum, few drops of coconut essence and lime extract, mix thoroughly on a low heat and fill truffle shells, wait till ganache is set then roll truffles in Ecuadorian milk chocolate and toss in desiccated coconut.
Each truffle contains approx 50mg of THC/CBD extracts so they are quite manageable and should help him through the next few weeks.
Just off to deliver them, before the sample i tried fully kicks in 😉
Me girlfriend loves to cook from recipe books so fashioned a flat-pack recipe book stand for her.

There's so much fantastic stuff on this thread. This isn't even mine. I asked a mate if he could build a frame for a map I'd bought my daughter. He came up with this

Recycled lawnmower pallet dried with a blow torch and then waxed. The hessian is from the local coffee roasters. We did have to buy the board behind the map but that was a cheap offcut. Jessie (daughter) loves it so much she inisisted we put it up before she'd actually finished decorating 😉
Well that was an awesome 2hrs thread-read!! : )

fivespot - They look great. Have you considered making and selling them?
LukeHurst........Yes :-), sold a few on eBay, strangley most have gone abroad
Just completed a bit of a mammoth one.
Took waaaay longer than I expected.
Sink unit made entirely from 15mm Birch Ply.
Lots of firsts for me.
Never used a router for finger joints (had to make my own jig) or indeed made finger joints before.
Never used a router without the table before.
Never laminated bits together. Had to laminate the top and the sides.
Never made my own doors.
etc.
Very please with how it all came out though.

Nice work Querty - Is that a Rapha camouflage pattern to try and thin the field 😉
Made me girlfriend a new door for her allotment shed as the old one had rotted from a leaking roof.
It's made from beech, salvaged from an old work bench and the window is Oak with bits of broken red glass set into clear resin.
It's not actually legit tongue and grooved, but thin ply applied to thick ply for that effect.
She likes kind of wibbly wobbly imperfect things (not sure how I should feel about that...) and so I tried to make it a bit bendy, wavy, wobbly style...

You're not the only one. My wife doesn't like that bathroom cabinet I made - too crisp and contemporary. She keeps asking me to make stuff from driftwood, but we don't have room to hoard stuff on the off-chance.
You just have to make beautiful crisp and contemporary things for her, then leave them outside for 12 months... 😆

Here's my contribution to the thread. Ok I didn't "make" it in the true sense of the word, that I have to credit to some guy in Taiwan, but I did design it and I've just polished it.
Meet the URP Moto disc brake belt drive BMX prototype in its raw state. It's getting built up at the weekend and will be hitting the track for testing soon.

Need more details on that Speeder 8)
I'll put some decent shots and flesh out the details once it's built and ready to go but for now I'll say the brief was to design a frame that could accommodate a disc brake, through axle and allow the use of a belt drive without having to split one of the stays. Oh it also needed to work in both aluminium and carbon and have some form of chain/belt length adjustment.
The solution was to use the width and clamp the chain tug between the chain and seat stays. It's got adjusters and 140mm post mounts integrated into the tugs and can accommodate anything from a 10mm bolt to a 20mm through axle at the traditional 110mm BMX hub width.
I call it the Möbius dropout.
I made underfloor heating for our guinea pigs.
Motorbike heated grip matts under their bedroom floor sandwiched by ply.
These are fed through an eBay Chinese thermostat with an external probe sensor, set at 11c.
That's fed by a spare 12v/2a power adapter.
Keeps their floor dry and their bedroom at a constant temperature in all weather.

There's a nice irony in that somewhere. Traditionally they are kept under beds for warmth in Peru etc. Not for pets mind 😯
I built a two chamber bat box from a single plank of sawn wood this afternoon and then fitted it high on the side of our house after using power tools at the top of a sketchy ladder. Given I don't normally know which end of a hammer to use I am pretty chuffed with the end result - I just hope the local bats will be too later in the year. I definitely need to build stuff more often.
Its a DIY bathroom and I did pay someone to do the tiling but I did the rest and am rather proud of it. Its also very difficult to photograph

Thanks.
A couple of months back now I had to rebuild this trailer after it collapsed bringing silage bales home. It needed a complete new bed and supporting frame so I took the opportunity to lengthen it by 18" and widen it by 12" to make a bit more useful and a bit more stable on the banks. Took a fair bit of trig to work out the new position of the tipping ram I can tell you! I also made a rear extension to carry extra bales but that isn't fitted in the photos.
