Post your woodwork here

[CJ Van]

Not 100% woodwork related but it does have a connection to woodworking.  I recently made this bag for someone on here.  In return I received all the wooden hardware for a leg vice and a moxon vice for a new workbench I still have to build.  Unfortunately my workbench will not look like his when it is done.  

Anyway, hopefully my leather work looks better than my workbench will.

Do you make wallets?

I do make wallets.  Most of them are minimalist wallets that take about 4 cards and some notes like the once in the pic below.  I am not a fan of the bifold wallet so I have not spend the time and effort to create a template for something like that yet.  I have some ideas for different wallets.  If you have something specific in mind drop me a pm and we can chat.  Should not be to difficult to create a template and make a different wallet to someone's requirements. 

I recently received much finer thread and stitching irons so I could make something that looks a bit more refined as well.

I've tried the jam chuck method and failed dismally and have figured out a different way that works for me, but I needed to get new chuck jaws to make it work.

Stepped jaws with internal grip?

I have quite a few sets of jaws for my chuck so was just wondering.

yes. but i need to be so careful with the expansion for to make sure I don't crack it if it's too thin. I'm a little ham-handed sometimes which spells doom in woodwork 100% of the time. it's a real pain to keep swapping the jaws, so i need to plan the whole process so I don't keep swapping. I may just end up with a second chuck - it's less fuss and I'll save more time than it's worth

I would love an Easy wood chuck, changing those jaws is such a pleasure. Even on special they cost R4.5k so not going to happen anytime soon.

Do you do any other kinds of turning? I enjoy all woodwork, but turning is definitely my favorite.

Incredible! I saw the pics when your screws were being made, you are both very talented at your craft!!

Ploeg met 'n ander man se kalwers. 

@CJ Van isn't just a half decent leather artisan, he also does woodwork. He made this for me. One of the handles he made earlier split, so he made a new one out of oak. Only this time he didn't turn it, he used a plane.

I cannot quite tell you why, but I find that a lot more attractive than a turned handle, aesthetically speaking. Very beautiful.

That Easy Wood chuck looks great. Be easier to just get another chuck at that price.

I do bowls as well and recently picked up a few lemon tree stumps that I want to turn into something interesting. Turning cast epoxy excites me, but the investment is quite high. Perhaps in time. I am also an aspiring to make guitars. Again, the investment in the tools needed is proving prohibitive

I need to replace the castors on an old table but Gelmar don’t sell the “old fashioned” ones any more. Can someone advise where I can get replacements?  Thanks
