Thanks!

The two Bunnings I've gotten them from, one they were kept in the unconditioned timber yard and the other near the trade desk. They've got 400mm in pine, merbau, red oak, and larger ones in okoume.

And that material would likely fit in the Cubism Competition if somebody had a mind to create and enter .

Nice aesthetic job.

Cklett,
Be very careful with this tool making stuff, very very addictive stuff that.

Ask all the people who used to know me, there all a distance memory now.
Saw handle with a lambs tongue is that first ?? Looks very good.

Cheers Matt.

Nice to see this thread back in use.

I might as well share my current project. I am making this for my Dad.

He served in the RAAF from 1950 - 1957 and never got a medal while he was serving. The medal in the picture was introduced in 2006 but eligibility was backdated to service since World War 2. I only recently discovered it had been backdated so far, and he would be entitled to it, so I applied for it on his behalf.

He is still alive, aged 92 in an aged care facility. He was so happy when he found out he was entitled to a medal, even if he completed the four-year qualifying period to earn it 69 years ago. I decided to make this display case for him so that he can keep it on display in his room.

It's obviously still a WIP so it will look a lot nicer when finished.

I’ve never contributed to this thread but thought I’d show what’s currently on my bench



Moving out of a rental soon to be in a bigger workshop again very excited to have active projects back on this with tools hanging on the wall around.

I build this bench whilst in a rental so had no idea how heavy it actually was until I got it up onto this trailer. I now have…a pretty good idea how heavy it is

Cheers

Just finished this little project for my MIL, a cutlery tray, with a little help from my 9 year old (who insisted on being included in this post!)

Used it as a chance to try mitred dovetails for the first time. Definitely need to be improved, but I'm happy for a first attempt. A basic version of Derek's mitre jig worked wonders!

Regards,

Adam
