Did the drawings, fabricated and erected. There's a mirror image the other end of the building too.
Loving the bike Porter_Jamie
Good job maycontainnuts, I've designed many of them, never made one though! Just an observation; you may need sway bracing perpendicular to the face of the building (unless it's not free standing and is tied to the building?)
porter-jamie, is that frame rated for a triple clamp fork? You need to be careful, it could be a child's face... 8)
Porter_Jamie - that bike is the nuts. Hat dothed'.
I think the last thing I made that wasn't work was this wood-burning stove out of tin cans.

But before that, I built bunk beds for my boys

you are right! i think the plan is to make some kind of padding for the stem/quill/bars to stop him smashing his face to pieces if he head-buts it.
the headset is an FSA aheadset, but there are two threaded collars either side of the top 'yoke' (or crown in mtb speak i suppose) and then the quill/stem/bars go inside the steerer because we wanted to allow for him getting bigger. if he needs lots more reach its going to have to be a new bar/stem/quill! the seattube has lots of angle so the reach gets more as the post comes up.
those bunkbeds - cnc router? pretty cool.
This weeks handy work

That was the look I was after, but no - all jigsaw and sandpaper!
I designed it in Illustrator, then printed it onto tons of sheets of A4, then spraymounted it to the birch ply.
A lot of hassle, but once I get an idea in my head...
Some ambient electronic music. It has a mandolin and everything! It's here on [url= https://soundcloud.com/the1fletch/all-i-know ]soundcloud[/url].

It's a GPS logger built out of an old bluetooth GPS dongle and an At328-based serial logger.
It works, but I do need to find a way of parsing the output with the correct datum to get accurate positional data. Currently it's a bit off.
That Bunkbed is awesome! 🙂
Loving the Narwhal too.
I built these over the last few weekends, about 18 steps so probably another 80 or so to do before spring. These were the tricky ones though - a very steep slope so a lot of digging and back-filling, plus flexi-coil/pea-gravel drains and each tread on a bed of pea-gravel to help drain water away.
Back filled with brick-bat/broken concrete, then crush-and-run and I'll top them off with a decorative self-binding grit in spring.
Hard graft but very satisfying... 😀

I love this thread.
I designed this.
It weighs half a tonne, generates about 30 tonnes of force from 60psi & lives a nuclear power plant.

blimey! 😯
Theoretically, you could work it with a bike pump. Would take a while though.
i love the indiana jones style wooden box too!

I handmade and fitted this kitchen just before christmas in the Cotswolds. They should have their granite work surfaces fitted now.
Man there are some clever people on here, all I can do with any degree of skill is fire a gun and a hose 🙁 must learn to do something constructive. I need a new kitchen, electrics doing in house and the windows too
Porter Jamie some great stuff there I'd love a machine like that I could have alsorts of bits for my motorbike 😉
Kitchen looks brill and I like the 'chimney', we're looking at doing something similar over our AGA (when I've moved it...). Is it just a false 'breast'?
the kitchen is amazing!
Yea a false breast. It does house an extractor and down lights. I do a lot of variations of these.email me and I will send some pics over for inspiration.
New balcony rail.

Not the most impressive on here, but pretty good for a complete amateur.
Just have to paint it now.

Finished this a week ago, got a couple of minor things I want to add but nothing structural. The arch is totally free standing and the other section is mounted to the external piers for the old lintel. Bit difficult to describe the shape of it as I haven't got any pics that help
For those who are into their airguns on here. I have been making a few Theoben Rapid Ti bolt handles. This one is my 1st attempt at heat colouring.

I seem to have stopped this thread in its tracks 😳
That looks like an incredible piece of work Mowgli! Must be very very satisfying to paddle.
Fivespot, you could home ano them?
