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

Nice Ben,does the rack fold up behind the seatpost?

After struggling to find a decent, light, well equipped, reasonably priced bike for a sub-average height wife, I took drastic action. I bought myself a new bike (this had nothing to do with the plan, of course), and donated the old one to the cause.

My old large Turner Flux was stripped and much measuring took place. A small steel DMR frame with a damaged back end was sacrificed to create a new bike with 100mm both ends, 2x9 mostly XT groupset and cranks bros wheels. A feminine but not girly powder coat colour later, and we have a very special birthday present!

Thanks to Mikie at COG cycles in Penryn, Cornwall for his patience and superior welding skills. Everything works perfectly, and it fits just like it should. I don't think her Cannondale hardtail is going to get out much for a while. First test ride this weekend was a great success, in fact she's just left me with the children's bedtime, alone and unsupported while she goes out for another ride on it.

This thread never disappoints. 🙂

Now the Olympics are over, I can show these (Rule 40), I made the bike stands used by the Ireland cyclists and triathletes at Rio. The track bike is Shannon Mc Curley's who competed in the Women's Keirin and Dan Martin's bike is the third bike back (with the saddlebag) on the balcony.

Very clever that bike mix Kaysee.
Like that a lot.

The last thing I made was this tool chest. I still have to make the piston fit tray to go inside to hold chisels etc and also mounting brackets for my japanese saw and measuring sticks. I no longer have access to a fully equipped workshop so I will be completing the internals with hand tools once I have build a work bench for use at home.

Very nice. Love the simplicity that accentuates the material.

Chain needs tensioning 😉

Still waiting for WI freehub, but wanted to see what they looked like. Bars, forks, stem also to be swapped.

I made this over the last few months:

Started with some drawings and two chunks of alder and I've now got myself a rather nice guitar. It's a replica of the one that was custom built for John Squire from the Stone Roses had in 1990.

Last thing I made:

A home bar, not the nearest woodwork, but good enough for me.

My first attempt at a coffee tamper. The balance is a bit off, the base could do with being slimmer. But overall I'm pleased with the outcome, considering I had limited turning tools and the lathe wanted to walk across the workshop with cuts above 0.5mm. Parting off was time consuming.

What sort of dog is that Twisty? Looks just like mine
[img] [/img]

He is a Jack-Shih-Border-Sausage, his coat is brindle when cut short, does look similar to yours.

This features another similar looking, albeit slightly larger, dog.

Just to lower the tone a little - heres some more shonky but functional woodwork...

Scrap timber spanning front legs will be removed when bolted down, its just a spacer at present.

I brought the chin up bar & fixed it to my single skin concrete block garage wall with 8 M10 expanding bolts, first pull up & the blocks cracked 😥
So, i decided to build a free standing frame from 2x4 timber. Seems ok, no creaks, doesn't topple. Will probably bolt to floor for added confidence when using inversion boots.

He is a Jack-Shih-Border-Sausage

Mine's a Beagle-Poodle (Beadle?) so no connection, but amazing how similar they look.

A raised planter. Not a nice as some but its way better than the sharp pointy rocks that were used before. Inspired by some of the previous versions on here

I also had a crappy cheap spirit level that had been dropped and smashed so I nicked the bubble and made my own little level. It's about 400mm long and made from Oak laminated for stability with Ebony stringing lines.

I've not totally finished it yet. I reckon I'll put some sort of something around the bubble hole. 🙂

Lovely work Kayak!

Recumbent cargo sounds like a fun project Ben!

Lovely spanner Kayak. Caught up with the old Shed of the Year prog the other night - can't find the thread now, so I'll donate some Kudos here...

Did you make the branding tool with your logo on it, or was it a commission or similar? I'd like one!

Builders still in I see!

Almost finished I'm told - definitely this time 😀

I hope so too, I've got my eye on the unit they're using as a site office.

A company called [url= http://www.ardenengraving.com ]Arden Engraving[/url] did it. Wasn't too expensive either. About £25 I think they quoted to copy my artwork.
I heat it with a blowtorch.

as of yesterday when i finished it, i now feel qualified to contribute to this thread with my new shed/gazebo 🙂

no experience of this at all, just advice and help from both on here and a friend at work to make something better from a patch of waste ground.

Nice! Been a while since I checked your progress, well worth the effort!

That is a magnificent shedzebo.

I like the Shezebo.

great work sadexpunk.

I've not been making much of late (save for a mess with a JCB at the bottom of the garden).

But following the de-fingering, I had to have a look at my archery. I tried switching to left handed but didnt enjoy it. My coach, however, said that there's quite a few good archers shooting with just two fingers on the string so didnt see why I couldnt continue right handed.

Oddly my archery has improved, but I found that I needed to stabilise what was left of my index finger since it was no longer being held firm by the string. So I've recently finished adapting a finger tab that gives me a good solid reference and stops my finger flapping about.

Interesting Stoner
We have just taken up archery (Bloody expensive if your tall) and the little un has been struggling with finger tabs.
We borrowed a extra small one that was ok couldn't find it for sale so i made one.
