Was it a twister or a feast you sourced the label from?
😂 I can't un-see that now you bugger!
Damn!

Made a bed for the boy.

The kids kept losing things under the gaps in the radiator cover. Stuck a bit of floorboard behind to stop it. So simple, no idea why it didn't occur to me sooner.

Mind and drill some holes in them so the convection still works come winter 😉
Rain canopy for the shed. £12.49 for some shelving brackets off ebay, including a 10 degree bend, next day delivery!
Pallet wood for the canopy.
Finally finished the magazine table. Remind me not to do anything with resin again. Hateful stuff.
With Marylyn restricted to the house and the weather being so hot, I have spent some time in the garage playing with my band saw.
I present 5 bandsaw boxes of various designs, a mobile phone desk tidy and a school of fish, all stood on my Motor Sport inspired coffee table.
Too much time on my hands?
For ages i've wanted to add a fan to the TV cabinet the Xbox sits in (the series X gets PROPER hot...and the warm air just sits in teh cabinet...)
So I got a 15 quid USB powered fan to run off the X box...
The 'pre' photo..
And after taking the jigsaw to the cabinet!
It has an inline off-L-M-H switch as the Xbox USB is always on..
But it works a treat and really vents out all the hot air!

I was asked if I could design a solution to address poor acoustics in a video meeting room in some offices of a local gaming company.
The building itself is a beautiful converted barn called the River Studio and is cited a stones throw from the River Avon as it runs through Warwickshire.
The design I came up with took the profile of the actual river nearby (with a little artistic license) and I scaled and arranged it so that it would run across walls and ceiling. Cut by cnc from a layer of 6mm mdf with a 6mm 'bank', and once filled with preserved acoustic moss, would help to improve the sound quality and lessen the echo in the room.
Hard to photograph! It's massive!
It took me a solid week sticking the moss to the boards including the two scorcher days!
I hate moss now and if I ever see any in the wild I'm going to stamp on it 😂
Importantly, it's improved the acoustics in that room massively..👌
Very nice Kayak. But arent you going to get an increase in insects 😕
So, a bit of moss-fettle improved the amplification in the room?

No. Seems it's not a thing. It's used extensively in posh hotels etc all over the world. It's also anti-static and so doesn't attract much dust like other surfaces might.
This from the manufacturers-
Do moss walls attract bugs and insects?
No. Moss walls do not attract bugs. Insects are attracted to the moisture and soil in plants. Preserved moss walls do not have any kind of soil and they don’t need any water.
.
Unlike artificial plants, moss walls do not attract dust. Moss walls not only require no maintenance, but they do not have static electricity, so dust particles hardly cling to the moss.
I have been trying to use a palette knife and am sort of happy with the result. Just can't quite decide if the painting is finished or if I need to add 'something'
Got my patissier on again today. Mango, ginger and lime tart on the left, raspberry, ricotta and hazelnut cake on the right.
Using a hand loom I've just woven some woollen thread into a weave that I've turned into a cushion. It's yellow, orange, brown & grey. Very 70's. I have pictures but no idea how to post then here these days. It looks great on our sofa.

Scrap my last post. I decided to add a yacht sailing into the golden sunset.
"Seeking Gold"

I'm lichen that

Anyone else misread that? Super model by the way
I was wondering what the racing driver had done to upset him. Different cultural reference points I guess
A Stirling job?
Some parallettes for extended range of shoulder motion at the bottom of push ups (apparently good for bike riders) and various other bodyweight exercises.
When it came to fitting the bars - 35mm dowel - it was a snug fit into the 35mm holes, I took the rasp to the leading edge lightly. The first end went in smoothly with some persuasion from the wooden mallet, but the other end I was too heavy handed with and split the wood. Doesn't impact their function though. Theres a couple more pictures over on instagram.
My 5 year old granddaughter asked if we had fairies living in our garden...
I explained that we used to but that the grey squirrels had ransacked their house and murdered them all
That made me laugh WCA #cruelgrandpa 🙂
99% finished. Just waiting for the hinges for the top corner. Not sure about the edge pulls, might try and find some nicer ones.
Sign made with on a scrap piece of Ash, Espresso Martini with Coffi Eryri Indonesia Decaf, Derw Coldbrew Coffee Liqueur and Smirnoff Vodka.

Neat piece of work. Bit of a pain for the bottom drawer, but would the pulls look better on the bottom edge of each drawer, including the triangular ones?
Nice @jam-bo. Have you got any photos to show how you did the inside please? I'm planning to do something very similar with ours, but bigger drawers for things like the Hoover. Sick of the unstable pile of crap under there at the moment.
Drawers/doors looks great. Is there something interesting going on with the bannisters as well?
Instead of pulls could you fit a touch to open mechanism? You know the type where a slight push and the drawer/door corner pops out a short way.

Not a square surfAce in sight so built a frame inside to work off. Pocket hole jig was invaluable.
No banisters.
Great work Jam-bo!
I’ll have to get one of those jigs
Nice one thanks. Really neat. Yeah, I was wondering if this and another similar project I have in mind would justify the purchase of a pocket hole jig (and/or a biscuit jointer).
Looks dope jam-bo 👌
Pull handles are fairly cheap and nasty from ikea. I just needed something to mean I actually put the fronts on and finished. It’s only taken me 18 months from start to finish…
That's some good Kreg work. Only used mine for framework but have a few projects in mind. Tempted to buy the big lumber adaptor.
I had considered routing some handles into the top edges, but I think its beyond my skill/toolset.
I was astonished at the price of some handle router bits. I bought a cheapie and have been really pleased with the results. Yes, it needed a bit of trial and error to set it up just right but once done it was faultless. And made several uniform handles for 6 drawers and doors.
I do have a table router though, I'm not sure I'd be so keen with a hand-held.
yeah, I've only got a palm/edge router. not in the mood for investing in anything bigger.
I was sick of lugging my table saw around, so whipped up a mobile stand.
First time making drawers as well. Not perfect, but good enough for this.
Clad in french oak staves used to flavour tank made wine. They'll usually get thrown out afterwards. Need a bit of clean up with the plane to get them smooth.
Bigger ones are less prone to warping & are good for gift boxes like the one I made a few pages back.
Wow Jambo great job!
If it was me I'd remove all the finger pulls and drill some strategically placed biggish holes in the fronts so you can simply pull the flaps open. These don't all have to go dead centre, you could have some fun with placement/ alignment.
Alternatively you could drill some holes and buy some recessed plastic discs with lips in dark grey (blue?) to match the stair stringer.
Because you have made everything so 'flush' on the vertical plane I don't think this arrangement suits any type of sticky out handles/ knobs.
Makes me feel dead lazy going through threads like this...
OK it's not something I've just made. Taken me a year to get to this stage. But as there's some photography geeks on here I thought you might be interested.
AS an olympus pen owner i reckon i know what they are. but obviously more going on!
I’ve just built a MiniMe shed in the garden - home for a static bike, plus will be my bike workshop. Is a Tuin 3m x 2m log cabin but had to build the concrete plinth and then a day of attaching big steel brackets to attach it firmly to the concrete as we’re quite exposed, regularly see 50mph+ winds. Fitted a corrugated steel roof to match the house. Still have the electricals, workbench, cupboards and shelving to install.
Earlier this summer, built this 4m diameter geodesic dome greenhouse. The hub kit came from buildwithhubs.co.uk - online calculator tells you the sizes you need for the struts based on exterior dimensions. Struts are tree-stakes and the cover is polytunnel sheeting. Hardest part was making 10-sided shuttering for the concrete base. Total cost £600 - a third was the concrete base.
