These tops were delivered today for the bar counter in our new conference centre, nice slabs of wood.

Dammit, Wish I had become a carpenter instead!!

Suppose its not too late

If you like mechanical things and you like wood; if you like jigs and shop tips and contraptions, weird machines and things with wood gears ... well, have a look at Matthias Wandel's stuff at http://woodgears.ca/index.html

 

There's some crazy stuff there. He's an engineer who makes everything in wood, including his bandsaw (you can buy the plans).

My dad's tools and some of my granfathers tools. It is a pleasure being in the garage with both of them. Can't wait to start my own collection.

I recommend Rogers "Skill Builder" channel on You Tube, he  does good tool reviews, here an el-cheapo Sliding Compound Mitre saw, and engages in chats in the comments.

Let me knock out a prototype small carver then I'll price it. 

Pants Boy - any progress on this ?

[Pants Boy]

Nope - up to my eyeballs in pinedust, making some display cases. Scheduled some lathe time for tomorrow though

looking at getting a 10-seater dining room table made probably next year sometime. Will be a Frenchy / antique type style. Must be solid. Any recommendations for someone in CT to use.

Ds' catapult finished. It looks great and works perfectly, but doesn't throw the golf ball quite as far as he hoped.  So, we plan to put stronger elastics on and hope nothing breaks! The spring blades are bamboo and if you bend them too much they will break. We tried hacksaw blades but they are too flexible and I won't let him scavenge the Landrover.

That looks really good, but i'm not sure about how the trigger works. Please post a little video of it in action.

Looks great [emoji106]

 

I do believe that one can make springs out of pvc, either 50mm pipe or conduit depending on the size needed. All it requires is a heat gun and a little patience. I have seen guys on uchoob making hunting bows out of waste pipes. Let me see if I can find the link.

Just skip to the relevant bits.
