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

Ah well, if we’re allowed to post pics of bushies and sharp stuff 😉

old kent pattern axe head that I refurbed and a small knife that I fitted scales to (gransfors helve for lazyness)

Custom offroad recumbent

That looks more dangerous than asking Bruce Willis if you can marry his daughter.

+1

Also, how many chains did you have to put together for it?

Same as with most recumbents – about 2.5.

Recumbents are generally safer – you hit stuff feet-first not head-first. Mark and Sanny have been talking for at least a deade about doing a feature on offroad recumbents – I must pester them about it again.

I made new legs for my Argos bargain barby, which came with awful baby giraffe legs.

Made entirely from reclaimed wood. I’m just missing something waterproof for the top but I’m buggered if I’m paying B&Q 20 quid for 8m of felt when I only need two.

Wood Store[/url] by Jon Wyatt[/url], on Flickr

Just finished my sons cot bed

Was a challenge to build but he and the wife like it!

That’s amazing!

Love the Fatbike, Ben, that’s really tasty, and Andy, the axe restoration, and the knife are excellent, I love those scales, what’s the wood?

Not a great photo, or quite finished yet, but this bike pole has just gone up in my living room.

Stolman pole from ikea, some box section pipe from B&Q, couple of hooks and some nuts and bolts. Sorted. Just needs a bit of cleaning and a coat of paint on the bare metal I think.

And if you can take the bikes off you can dance around it.

@wotnobeer- that’s fabulous! What a great idea for the home!

@ oxforddan – that is absolutely beautiful! Very clever

Got fed up with this:

So I made this:

LOOK AT THE TECH!

It’s a sod to fit in your pocket though

Gluten free Blueberry crumble cake! With a subtle drizzle of double cream 😛

That cot looks beautifully made oxforddan – a good advert for your skills (If I’m reading the photo right and you’re a cabinetmaker by trade).

2 storey Wendy House built to fit in the corner of the garden [/url]

Wendy house looks great OrmanCheep!

😯

Come on bedmaker you’ll have to give us more info than that – looks amazing!

It’s an installation for the Belladrum festival last weekend. Kind of a steampunk theme to it.
It’s a chunk of an old wooden trawler, it’s 6M across the beam to give an idea of scale.

I built the steel roof to give the whole thing a heart shape

Then popped it on top of the boat and built a stove/steam boiler to go inside

Then it was filled with old stuff, brass instruments to vent steam out of and most importantly – three flamethrowers. I must get pics of them in action. One of them blasts out of the old toilet.
It all went down pretty well 🙂

Fantastic!

Wow. Sounds a wee bit cheesy but it looks like you made that with just love, no sawing etc. 🙂

Ormancheep- I’d love to make that as we have a space soon where the greenhouse currently is on a concrete base. Where did you get the door and did you simply measure up yourself/designed on the hoof by you or to a internet plan?

Hora, door if just a bit of loglap nailed to a z-shaped brace on the back.

Front skin is thin (I think 6mm) outdoor grade ply, just bent around the frame and screwed. Sides, floor and roof are 12mm outdoor ply.
Roof was then felted, battened out and ‘shingles’ nailed on, made from bit of treated feather board, with pilot holes pre-drilled.
Window frames were scored half way through at 1″ centres on one side, so they would curve around the front skin.
There is a simple mezz floor inside too, with ladder.

All thrown together without any real measurements really, for that rustic look 🙂 You live local I think. You welcome to have a look, when you get round to doing yours.

I didn’t price it up, just kept buying what I needed. Was scary how much it cost in the end (about £500), but I suppose it could have been much cheaper if I hadn’t just kept going to B and Q.

Its to go here

BTW I couldn’t interest you in a free greenhouse? I’d love to have a look, your in Stockport and I’m in Stretford.

No room for the greenhouse I’m afraid. I’ll put email in profile.

Bedmaker

Good work .
I like the steam punk look and the homemade stove 🙂

In the process of cutting up an old LPG Cylinder to make in to a burner,re-cycling stuff is great fun

Awesome stuff Bedmaker

Another pimped Brompton 😉

I made a fantastic memory with my 16 year old daughter cycling 111 miles from home to Barmouth in a day, that will stay with me forever, and she made some money for a very worthy cause.

linky here to her JG page

and her STW Thread with post ride report, worth a read I think, but then I’m biased.

Garden update:

Foolishly dug by hand with a couple of £10 spades, a pickaxe and a pointy iron bar. Took four months and just finished this week…

next cabin work in progress

Nice steps (and the rest) Spooky.

dti – tell us more? Have I missed a thread with some backstory?

Top work Bedmaker. Anything with half a trawler in it good by me.

Nice work with the sleepers above too.

That’s quite an impressive bunnyhop
