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

Nice stool 👍

It is a nice stool.

Where do you get metal from everytime I consider trying my arc welder to splatter molten steel all over myself I get put of about the mad cost/hassle of obtaining tubes etc.

@kayak23 Thank you! Coming from you (I know your background) that’s a massive compliment.

@joshvegas https://www.fhbrundle.co.uk

That’s what I love about TIG; no splatter at all! I do have a habit of using flap discs to remove all the mill scale before cutting and welding for smaller projects, hence the shiny finish.

Ah that’s much more like it!

A weewhile before I can afford cash and time but I’ll book mark.

A tandem, finally finished dry build at the weekend to see what was missing in terms of braze one. Now at the powder coaters, also made the fork.

@tiim Wow – impressive work!

Amazing tandem, man dem impressed. 🤙

Building a fuzz pedal from a kit. Had to relearn some of my high school science about electronics components and how to solder onto a PCB…

Fuzz progress

Hope to get it functional soon then think about painting the box. Also need to peruse a knob catalogue…..

Made a frame for a friend.

Finally got round to making an intertwined thistle and rose headbadge. I was going to san off the powdercoat and polish but given he wanted the frame army olive drab I thought I would leave it stealth green.

Also laser cut his name into the seatstay bridge. At least if it gets nicked it’ll be easily identifiable.

Jon I think your original headbadge plan will look great at the moment it’s kinda hard to see what it is.

Looks good though.

Been taking perfectly fine bits of wood and setting fire to them… 🔥

Shou Sugi Ban technique on Oak. Soon to be a breakfast bar in an industrial office conversion.

Shou Sugi Ban Oak breakfast bar fitted in the offices of Supersonic Software in Leamington Spa. A lovely place to rest elbows and ponder. Wire brushing back produces a tactile deep texture.

Looks good kayak.

Did you go over it twice to get it even?

My dad has to do a whole bunch for cladding and I don’t think he has worked out the best way

Yeah I went back over it here and there but brushing it back blends it all fairly well. I used a rotary brush on a drill along with a hand brush.

I think it depends what sort of stage of burn you’re looking for. I know the big Shou sugi ban cladding suppliers use a fixed system, roller fed, so get a nice even finish.

That will look amazing as cladding though.

I used Oak here which isn’t really the best to use as the contrast isn’t so great between the grain texture, as say Cedar which is traditionally used.

It looks mint in the flesh though. Hard to photograph. 😊

Fuzz pedal finished wiring up.
Turns on and off with the footswitch, the LED goes on and off accordingly and makes a horrible (but expected) noise.

Success!

Long time STW, I’m making a tiny cargobike.

Building things has taken a back seat in months past. It's nice to be behind a welding mask. The tiny cargo bike is making progress. That rack is huge but the bike is only ickle. @dave_revolvemcr this is what I mean when I say it folds. I still need to slot one side and then it'll run off standard seat qr's #4130society #framebuilding #framebuilding #tigwelding #cargobike #messlife #fixie #handmade #steelisreal #instacycling #bikelife #freakbike #freakbikersunite #urbancycling #urbanbike #omnium #ciclisme #cyclingporn #fromwhereiride #welding #weldlife #bikemessenger #radfahren #fahrrad #velo #bicicletta #shutuplegs #outsideisfree #prototype #prototyping #design

Love that breakfast bar Kayak, am thinking of doing this technique on oak legs for a new table, could it be done with a small gas burner (as in from a can, like a plumber would use) or would it be difficult / extremely tedious to get even?

Love the tandem.

Also the simple Oak table – (maybe you could plant another oak tree at the bottom of the garden to replace the old one).

Sure can. Weed burner heads are ideal as a plumbers torch can be too concentrated. But yeah, lots of folk use butane burners. Make sure you stick it on here when done 😊👍

Nice detail work on that frame.

Like the background motorbike too. 🙂

Cheers Kayak, will give it a go. Have a big stack of Oak planked from a tree we had cut down a few years ago. It has been “seasoning” in the hallway for 5 years also….ALOT of planing to do until it reaches this thread!!

I’ll say it first…….noice

what case is that if you don’t mind me asking (for a friend)

@darthpunk

MAX505 Tough IP67 Rated Case

Buying a house hasn’t been great for riding but it will give me some stuff to post on here at least.

Made a mantelpiece out of an old bit of beam I had lying around to replace the gopping black marble-esque fire surround around our very-STW stove that came with the house.

The beam was quite dirty but I didn’t want to remove too much “character” so I just cleaned it up a bit with a wire brush wheel on the angle grinder, and hand-sanded it a bit. Finished with a bit of beeswax/linseed oil mix (was hoping for a more subtle finish but hopefully it’ll mellow a bit). Where I had to expose fresh timber on the ends in cutting it to length, I used a round ended cutting bit on a Dremel to pattern it. Used that technique before – bit tedious but I like the detail.

Sick of missing the semi-random bin collection dates in North Yorkshire so made a Bindicator. It grabs the calendar from the council and lights up with the appropriate bin colour the day before.

You’ll need access to a 3D printer, but if you want to make your own I’ve uploaded the source and STL files to github (https://github.com/furstyferret-dev/bindicator)

Videos there too if you click the images.

I love the Bindicator, that is properly brilliant.

Made some Swift boxes for Christmas presents and wanged a couple up today finally.

Got around to fitting a couple of swift boxes I made as Christmas presents today. Already proving popular!

Merak

The case is brilliant, I’d love to have something similar.

I see the availability of the case itself, but how did you cut all the recesses for the tools?

The ones I see are all removable squares, you have managed to include curves etc..

My thought is that if I used a hot knife, I wouldn’t get the straight lines and I would burn the foam.

Give us a clue!

Made some loft storage shizzle 🤙

Finished the install on these loft storage cabinets in Oak and painted mdf today. Bent laminate plinth and Oak detailed drawer pulls. Masses of useful drawer and shelf space and it really fits the space well. Currently just primed as client is going to paint it.

Very nice! What are the holes chain drilled behind the curve for though?

Oh wow! Proof you can never have too many clamps.

Had a look at your Insta and missed that, cheers!

It won’t win any prizes but it’s made me happy.

Finally got around to making myself a new frame.

👏 That’s amazing jonm81!

I made this

Nice. Tigged? What tubing – I guess one of the pre-bent Columbus or 853 down tubes?
