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

Very clever that bike mix Kaysee.
Like that a lot.

The last thing I made was this tool chest. I still have to make the piston fit tray to go inside to hold chisels etc and also mounting brackets for my japanese saw and measuring sticks. I no longer have access to a fully equipped workshop so I will be completing the internals with hand tools once I have build a work bench for use at home.

Prior to the tool chest I made this desk.

Very nice. Love the simplicity that accentuates the material.

Unique wheels:

Chain needs tensioning 😉

Still waiting for WI freehub, but wanted to see what they looked like. Bars, forks, stem also to be swapped.

I made this over the last few months:

Started with some drawings and two chunks of alder and I’ve now got myself a rather nice guitar. It’s a replica of the one that was custom built for John Squire from the Stone Roses had in 1990.

Last thing I made:

A home bar, not the nearest woodwork, but good enough for me.

Some instructions and build thread here

Holds 6 corny kegs of homebrew, only 3 at the moment due to a lack of funds.

Built from an old chest freezer,
controlled by an stc1000, 3x perlic style taps, cokecola distribution board, some PC fans to keep air circulating and some other stuff.

^^awesome^^

TINAS – that’s magnificent!

My first attempt at a coffee tamper. The balance is a bit off, the base could do with being slimmer. But overall I’m pleased with the outcome, considering I had limited turning tools and the lathe wanted to walk across the workshop with cuts above 0.5mm. Parting off was time consuming.

What sort of dog is that Twisty? Looks just like mine

He is a Jack-Shih-Border-Sausage, his coat is brindle when cut short, does look similar to yours.

This features another similar looking, albeit slightly larger, dog.

Just to lower the tone a little – heres some more shonky but functional woodwork…

Scrap timber spanning front legs will be removed when bolted down, its just a spacer at present.

I brought the chin up bar & fixed it to my single skin concrete block garage wall with 8 M10 expanding bolts, first pull up & the blocks cracked 😥
So, i decided to build a free standing frame from 2×4 timber. Seems ok, no creaks, doesn’t topple. Will probably bolt to floor for added confidence when using inversion boots.

Mine’s a Beagle-Poodle (Beadle?) so no connection, but amazing how similar they look.

Well done,excellent tyre tidy,I can see them waiting to be rehoused 😉

A raised planter. Not a nice as some but its way better than the sharp pointy rocks that were used before. Inspired by some of the previous versions on here

Needed a gurt big spanner for a machine at work so had a crack at making one.
Steel plate off an old TV wall bracket, Iroko from Laboratory worktops, aluminium rivets and leather strap.

In use on the large bandsaw we have.

I also had a crappy cheap spirit level that had been dropped and smashed so I nicked the bubble and made my own little level. It’s about 400mm long and made from Oak laminated for stability with Ebony stringing lines.

I’ve not totally finished it yet. I reckon I’ll put some sort of something around the bubble hole. 🙂

Recumbent cargo trike 😀

Rohloff gearing driving a differential to both back wheels, electric motor in the front wheel…

Lovely work Kayak!

Recumbent cargo sounds like a fun project Ben!

Lovely spanner Kayak. Caught up with the old Shed of the Year prog the other night – can’t find the thread now, so I’ll donate some Kudos here…

Did you make the branding tool with your logo on it, or was it a commission or similar? I’d like one!

Builders still in I see!

Almost finished I’m told – definitely this time 😀

I hope so too, I’ve got my eye on the unit they’re using as a site office.

A company called Arden Engraving did it. Wasn’t too expensive either. About £25 I think they quoted to copy my artwork.
I heat it with a blowtorch.

Shiny shiny Brompton:

Alfine Di2 8-speed, Hope discs, SON dynamo lighting…

as of yesterday when i finished it, i now feel qualified to contribute to this thread with my new shed/gazebo 🙂

no experience of this at all, just advice and help from both on here and a friend at work to make something better from a patch of waste ground.

Nice! Been a while since I checked your progress, well worth the effort!

That is a magnificent shedzebo.

I like the Shezebo.

great work sadexpunk.

I’ve not been making much of late (save for a mess with a JCB at the bottom of the garden).

But following the de-fingering, I had to have a look at my archery. I tried switching to left handed but didnt enjoy it. My coach, however, said that there’s quite a few good archers shooting with just two fingers on the string so didnt see why I couldnt continue right handed.

Oddly my archery has improved, but I found that I needed to stabilise what was left of my index finger since it was no longer being held firm by the string. So I’ve recently finished adapting a finger tab that gives me a good solid reference and stops my finger flapping about.

Interesting Stoner
We have just taken up archery (Bloody expensive if your tall) and the little un has been struggling with finger tabs.
We borrowed a extra small one that was ok couldn’t find it for sale so i made one.
Quick hour on CAD

3d printed, and obviously he broke it first go. So wrapped in carbon fiber and sanded.

Also had MK2 swingarm hanging around waiting for me to have time to sort out.

nice bigdean. I’ll have to send you some measurements 😉

Not just me, but between my brother, a mate of his and me, we’ve been working on this for the last year. I’ve just finished setting the carbs and my man has just this minute driven it off for it’s MOT. Just in time for my Bro to drive it to his 40th birthday party this weekend. It’s a ’76 vintage, same as him and he’s had it 20 yrs. One of those delightfully constant things in his life. Bit chuffed I must say.

a few minor bits and pieces to finish off like the tonneau cover studs and the new soft top when we get round to fitting it to the frame.

A batch of croissants for breakfast!

It was quite a bit of work and they didn’t turn out perfectly (think the butter may have been too cold as it broke up) but they do taste good!

The boy and I made a Lego table that makes best use of an awkward shaped corner. Made entirely from off cuts of wood and spare paint. Total cost £0. He did a lot of the drilling and screwing himself, takes AGES with a 5yr old but I suppose it’s stuff he might remember when I’m old and incontinent.

Those of you on here who make nice furniture – where do you get your timber?
I’ve relied on Baltic birch ply for everything so far and been happy, but my better half has put her foot down for the bathroom furniture, so could do with some quality timbers. I’m thinking oak furniture-board, but open-minded.

I’ve just spent the last couple of weekends sorting jigs out to do finger/box joints in 15mm birch ply too! Doh.
