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

ben – line the sides of the raised beds with DPM to stop all the moisture from leaving via the planks.

Thats good advice, i did it with ours & seems to work well.

18bikesMatt – that MTB looks nice, what size? 16″?? and what geometry you gone with???

No additional bracing at the SS/CS @ ST looks clean 🙂

6yrs ago, did the same, and they’re still great.
Mrs Stoner was digging them over today.

If you want tubing and connectors, worth looking at Kee Klamp.

Interesting, cheers – sides only, leave the base alone? It’s just onto soil, though other beds will be onto concrete.

yep, leave the base alone, Allows worms to get in and out and move between bays, and you dont want it fully tanked or it will be a mess after a few hours of scottish rain.

Great, will do, thanks.

@qwerty – It’s a replacement for an extra small Cotic Soul that was stolen (ad they no longer make) so the fit geometry is based on that. It’s updated though as it’s 650b, bolt through, post mount brake, boost, stealth dropper routing and 1x only. The head angle and bb drop were changed to account for the wheels change but the chainstays are the same length as a 26″ Soul.

That frame actually represents what will become our ‘standard’ frame spec as far as tube choice, cable routing, features etc unless someone specifies otherwise. It’s also the first frame we’ve had manganese phosphate coated prior to paint so it’s got full rust protection, all future frames will get this.

I only ever add bridges if people need mudguard mounts and it really helps with clearance, not having an option for a front mech helps this further as does boost

Built another four raised beds this afternoon:

Not nearly as flash as some stuff above, but I built this as a night light for my 6mth old boy:

Think it needs some window tints though as the few led’s on the strip are pretty harsh even though they’re the ‘warm ‘ versions.

Keep an eye out at Paris-Roubaix for it

I nearly finished a cabin log quilted block. Yes ultra gay. Yes I don’t care! 🙂

Ooh, get you 😀

Ooh, get you

Should clarify, the sportive not the actual race

Extremely rough attempt at a garmin stem mount. Will try again next week and hopefully get it a bit smoother/straighter…

My M3 tap snapped off in one of the holes which fixes the plastic insert, so unless I glue the in insert in place, this one’s a write off 🙁

Cheers ben and pleader, should allow me to try something out.

I CNC’d a mount to fit a Chinese CREE light so I can put it on my GoPro mount, and keep it off the top of the handlebars

The initial hole was made to fit exactly the Outside Diameter of the light, I then put it in the oven at 180 for half an hour, slipped it on, and it ain’t ever going to come off again!

^ Nice 🙂

Recently turned my hand to pyrography. Have so far done some elephants and Star Wars related wood burning.

Bodged me a wood transporting trailer for a load of logs which are a mile from the nearest road. Some bits of old pallet, some rusty old steel conduit and some salvegee screws. And the wheels off my girlfriends bikes…

Here is a side table I made from rejected oak window sills.
The legs and top are laminated.
The finish is 6-8 coats of neutral Danish Oil followed by 3-4 coats of Miniwax wipe-on polyurethane final finish. The latter is good stuff I got from the US. I have a background in 3d CAD so sometimes use that to develop ideas and sizes. Buttons on the underside to hold the top on and allow for wood movement.

Likes all above!

Currently practising my not very good welding skills and knocking up a stove from an old air compressor.
Hardest thing to weld is the pipe which is very thin and now looks a bit like Swiss cheese! 😀

Hot plate isn’t welded yet but is made from an old saw blade.

I thought it was an old chainring now that everyone is running little 1x front rings 😉

you don’t say! If the heat doesn’t make you keep your distance – the TCT teeth will! 🙂

Or to put it another way – it’s now dangerous hot or cold!

Like the proportions. Is this for the allotment shed?

Here is another one from a couple of years ago.
Interlocking birch ply, it comes apart with no screws or glue.
The first photo is a scale model mock up.

Brilliant chair!

The teeth are blunt but I may grind them down further, although I like a bit of danger… 😈

It will find a home at one of the sheds at the allotment I’m sure.

Built myself a Brompton:

Well, it’s not really for me, it’s a demo bike for Velovision magazine and maybe other places.

Rohloff and disc brakes – I tried out the TRP HY/RD on the front, pretty good but a big beastie!

@IainAhh – Love that chair, anything without fixings is good in my book

Ben – Know what you mean about those calipers, we tend to suggest sticking with spyres. It’s weird but a flatmount caliper would look totally in scale on a Brompton

I’m going to try Spyres when it comes back from Velovision – funny thing is it actually fits better to the front than the usual BB7s. It’s chunky but in a different direction!

Yeah, spoke clearance can be an issue with Spyres as they’re wide but I imagine on a wheel that small the spoke angle is quite big so shouldn’t be a problem. Once you’ve tried Spyres you’ll never go back to BB7s

Nice set of brakes on your Brompton Ben.
I had one that colour. Now traveling round the USA somewhere via ebay.

Did this a few weeks ago.
Originally we did it in the GT colours (Way back in this thread)
New sponsor, new graphics.

I recently turned this

Nice job on your bathroom. Love the tiling, great colour and style. Where has the bog gone?

Around the corner behind the mirror which forms an L-shaped partition with a glass brick wall which you can just see in the pic.
A couple more pics

Just made these little stills for some bloke that wants them as keyrings.
