They look pretty mad WCA 👌
I've been hatching a plan/planning a hatch
So sad that Instagram links no longer show up on here, but hey....
Mikkel - nice hamon on that blade
Do you sell or take commissions?
I have sold some and done a few to order but mainly to friends and family as I am just an amateur knife maker.
Some dog lead and coat hooks for myself, either going to powder coat them or some grey machine enamel I have at home.
They're lovely Rusty. Are they plasma cut or cnc cut or something?
I made a birch plywood concertina serving hatch door type thing.

'Soss hinges'
Also very good when frozen for hammering into folks lawns.
I made some offset shock mount hardware.
Just need to make some spacers, then I can test it.
Whipped up a rustic table from wine barrel staves.
tricky to get the angles right, because nothing is straight or square & I only had a jigsaw.
I might make a chair next when I can get another barrel.

Thanks. The hooks are laser cut from 10mm mild steel but then need a lot of work radiusing the edges so they don't damage the coats hanging loop.
That table looks like it's still pissed from the wine!
Great job though, love the way it retains the colour of its previous life.
Still some work needed to tidy it up but my son was too impatient and wanted to play. Great simple fun!

I like those WCA, especially the ice & fire. How did you do them?

I paint them :-). To you see the profile of the man in the top right half of the canvas. whitish hair and blue face. Bit of a Roman nose but otherwise quite good
It is my variation on the classic Dutch pour where I don't use the paint cushion, just the primary colours.

I just looked up Soss hinges, thinking I might have a use for a couple.
Then I saw the price - ooh dear.
Then I saw the price of the jig needed to fit them - ooh, crikey!

Soss is I think the original brand, as you might say Hoover. There are of course copies.
The ones I used are from Sds London and about 13 quid for 3.
You don't need to buy a jig to fit them.
I made a jig similar to what a door lock cutting jig looks like using a 30mm guide bush on my router.
You just need two slots, a short deeper one, and a longer shallow one.
Another way is to do a drop on cut on a table router but this is much harder to set up and a bit more dangerous.

Is it wrong to covet another mans pie?
Love that wine barrel table. Would make an even better chair or stool imo.
Ply/oak kitchen set is a beaut also.
cant take the credit for this one but i thought you creative types might appreciate the christmas present our son-in-law made for us.
its a 'rum dispenser/lamp fireman' made from gas pipe connections and the like, all a bit steampunk. i love it.

Well with Glimpse of a Mermaid possible sold now the wife suggested I do something similar for this picture.
But I was wondering about "We're going to need a bigger boat"
That whisky dispenser is dope sadexpunk. Very clever 👌😊
last thing I remember making, Is a bit of plastic taped on the end of the rear mudguard, so it actually keeps all the mud and water off my back/pack
Admittedly not much use riding through floods where you cant see the path, nor the bridge, and.....
...and the gopro stopped working about 5 seconds before I was due to hit the bridge, so no pictures, my apologies
Not so much made, as improved dramatically 😆
Turned a 29er crud catcher from an okish rear mudguard into a very good rear guard.
Added an extension, so it's actually long enough, and some stays (from a broken road crudguard) so it doesn't flap around from side to side.
Much, much better!
I recently laid a concrete slab base for my new greenhouse. It's so absolutely p!$$ poor I won't amuse you all with a photo.
Since I can't ride (torn glute), I've been tidying up the workshop gym.

I really need to find something to make that's more useful than crochet soft toys
Is that a teradactyll or a dragon? either way I think it's fantastic.
It's a Pterodactyl
I really need to find something to make that’s more useful than crochet soft toys
But it would be very difficult to make something more cute. Useful can be overated, even Marie Kondo says keep the things that bring you joy and how could a knitted sloth in a bobble hat not do?
I've started to get back into golf as my riding group are now all on ebikes except me.
Thought I would have a go at making a putter. Just need to fit the shaft & grip and can take it for a spin..
ebygomm> how much for a Sloth?

I know this has come up before* but they are totally sellable.
* I think you said something about safety? If they are your designs even the patterns mights be of interest.
ebygomm - I love your soft toys. You are talented.
