Pants Boy Posted May 23, 2016 Share A table i have been building with all the scraps from my workshop One of 4 benches i am busy building for our entertainment area...from pallets A very important machine when working with reclaimed wood...planer thicknesser...the trick is to replace the blades with ones you can resharpen...it must be the most used machine in my workshop Hi Crankywoodworker! Dave, whee are you based? I'd love to come check out those canoes, it's on my "I'd love to do that" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pants Boy Posted May 23, 2016 Share I have seen a technique whereby the pine is burned with a torch that looks really nice. Did a couple of these for a Corporate Branding company last year with that technique. Burnt pine, came out rather pretty in the end. the nerd and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the nerd Posted May 23, 2016 Share These I built with reclaimed pallets, my wife stained them and painted them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Ed-Zulu, gummibear, Stretched@Birth and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretched@Birth Posted May 23, 2016 Share Really like this How wide is it?Thanks [emoji15] - it's 2.4m. Took a 5.4m x 380mm laminated pine beam, cut 2 pieces of 2.4, laminated them to make the top, then cut up the Offcuts to make the uprights. The remainder of the wood was offcuts, all in, the wood cost me about R700, finishing (stain, wax, etc.) about R400, handles, runners and screws about R500. So, R1600 for a piece that would be R7000+ to buy. Yes, my time is not factored in, but my wife would argue that it keeps me off the streets...

mon-goose Posted May 23, 2016 Share Last one... Next one... my dad would love to make one of these. If I had the money I'd build him a workshop with all the tools etc to make his dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plentipotential Posted May 23, 2016 Share That is stunning...did you make the knife too? Thanks. No I got the blade from a knife maker, polished it myself and had it re sharpened. I actually gave this one away as a gift to a mate. gummibear and Ed-Zulu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
