<span style=”color: #444444; font-size: 12.8px; background-color: #eeeeee;”>i have decided to make one out of a pair of old skis</span>
Make sure the edges are blunt and smooth. But I’d also question how useful the two rails the skis provide will actually be. Traditional pulley maids have at least 4 rails
I fillet brazed this frame together about 10 years ago and decided it was time for a repaint. I think I mis-chose the colour though. I’m going to get the kit back out and do it in something I’m happy to be seen in public on. It’s much more salmon in real life. Yuk!
I’d been hoping at some point to contribute to this thread at some point. So many amazing bits of work & inspiring efforts by people.
I had been wanting to get into woodworking & start making my own stuff. But, it’s just not happened due to time constraints.
Instead, I bought myself a 3D printer & while I haven’t had a great deal of time with it, I have been making some useful stuff – some downloaded designs & some of my own:
Shim for stopping rotary washing drier from wobbling about in the ground pole. I modelled this myself using Pro/E.

Soap dish/tray downloaded from Thingiverse. I’m currently designing my own one that fits better into the space I want to use it in

Paint Pyramids (really tetrahedrons) to lift boards of a work bench when painting. Again, I designed these myself in Pro/E.

Nice work – I keep meaning to print some paint pyramids, but at the moment I just have screws poking out of some scrap boards – works well, but they are a bit lethal to have kicking about the shed!
I’m making something right now, a crazy carrot and chilli chutney, it smells delish and has the right amount of heat for someone who likes to take it up a notch. It will have been in a dark cupboard for 3 months by late May, so it will have matured nicely.
Bit of a joint effort this one. I wanted to turn a pocket-sized mints tin into a pocket-sized watercolour sketchbox. So I found a 3D file for the paint pans insert
Mr stevied of this Parish did an amazingly awesome thing and cnc’d me the part out of a solid block of dense black plastic. Turned out a treat.
1. Here it is affixed inside the tin with some blue tack (need to remove and clean/dry periodically so needn’t be perma-fixed)
2. Decided to make a mixing surface/palette for the lid. Found an old broken tupperware thing that was non-recyclable. The white lid was perfect, so drew around the lid and cut to size.
3. Sanded surface to limit pooling of paint when mixing
4. Removed moulding bibble from rear so could Copydex flat inside of tin lid
5. Filled with paint
6. Now lives in pocket (or Camelbak Lobo) for sketching/studies when oot and aboot!
Push up bars to relieve pressure on wrists from doing push ups palms down flat on floor. Will also use for to start l-sit progressions. The bar I needed to buy but the end pieces were offcuts. Not got a workshop or garage so this was done in the home. Tenon saw, electric drill, hobby vice, drill stand (after advice on STW).
Imperial Leather soap is designed to be kept label-side down.
It used to sit on a little bump (the sticker label) so when you put it label-side down the bump lifted the soap off the surface, which stopped it going slimy & made it easier to pick back up again.
But, now the sticker is sub-flush with the rest of the soap so I don’t think it performs this function anymore.
Thanks Alex. The cabinet is a commission, and my interpretation of the client’s ideas rather than something I’d design from scratch. My minimalism meets somebody else’s, well, not-so-minimalism 🙂 They were thrilled, so I’m happy too.
He’s too modest to post it on here and possibly a bit embarrassed because it is rather ostentatious but bearnecessities has fitted a living flame gas fire in his front garden.
I welded up another cargo carrying bike. It’s a real pain having to carry heavy tooling around a city without a car. I also enjoyed giving it a mad looking paintjob.
I’m too impatient before calling it done. It’s got clearcoat drying at the minute and needs another coat, but here is what it looks like.

It doesn’t seem to be doing a very good snow-clearing job. #thumbsdown
I am still not entirely sure this is something ‘I have made’….buy anyhoo.
I wanted a headphone stand for my desk at work and had fully intended to design one & print it. But, I never find the time to get round to actually designing one, so thought I’d just download one from Thingiverse & print it.
Printed on its back with no supports necessary, 0.12mm layer height using Hobbyking blue PLA filament. It was a bit of a monster print & ended up taking 14.5hrs or so – easily my longest & largest print. Came out well though.
I can’t decide whether to just give it a light sand to remove the odd sharp edge & jaggedy bit of filament, or give it a full going over with progressively finer grades of wet & dry to give it a really smooth finish.

Another planter, this one on legs and above a patio so it needed a bottom as well. Kind of annoying as this one is for the mother in law so say thanks for all she does when helping us with the little ones. Anyway, measured up about a year ago after the neighbours finished the extension as that resulted in a fence and clementis being removed. Finally go round to make it this weekend due to aforementioned small children.
Only one problem, she’s had the sliding patio doors replaced since the measure up and the new ones open outwards, the planter no longer fits in the centre of the wall! Still, she’s still really please with it and that’s what matters.
