Post your woodwork here

[Stretched@Birth]

this brings back good memories of wood work at school.

 

I really wish I had a decent garage with space for proper wood working equipment and space to actually work. A pity though that wood is also getting more and more expensive

Kind of like this...?

Sorry about that. I use a marking knife and make a jig for a specific project, you can also use a carpet knife/slanley knife. Alternatively clamp all the pieces together and use a square to mark with a knife. I made this garden bench for my wife from Rhodesian teak, not a screw or nail to be found in it. Mainly mortise and tenon.

Bloody hell - two questions - how did you cut it, and how do you move it...?

Cut it up with a Triton circular saw. Hardest wood I have cut is Leadwood, no problems. Today's blades are tough. Takes two to carry it. Not that heavy.

I had my eye on one of those Triton setups - looks really well thought out?

 

Have realised tho, that I just don't have the time to commit to make it worth while.

 

Maybe when I've retired...

They are great bits of kit, if you can afford the price tag. 

 

My dad has one of these... Busy trying to angle a way to get hold of it. Shopsmith Mk V. Got it for R 500 from a junk sale, and refurbished it himself. Shopsmith themselves have taken an interest in it as they don't see many of them being refurbished anymore. 

 

BRILLIANT piece of kit. Combination tablesaw, disc sander, drill press & lathe

tried to find it on bassing.co.za but the site is down...here is another not so detailed version of the build.

 

when i stopped by one evening he had all the pieces cut on his lounge floor...the boat was built under an awning.

 

it is one thing building something in a huge workshop with all the tools required...but taking on a project like this in your driveway...eeeish.

Check out your local woodcrafters association...the avg age is around 70...the old guys have just the tools you looking for...

 

Ken tibet would be the man in durban to source old tools...bought an original stanley planer for R400

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

Agreed , stunning . Imagine what it whould look like if Damascus steel was used for the blade . (My long time dream )
