Thread: Studley’s rejected hardwood gallery

I wish I had half the woodworking talent of a lot of the people who contribute to this forum.


Great chair Wongo and great bench Martrix.

I think my style reflects what you may term 'a blunt instrument'

These three are some of the uses for Studleys timber.

The first one, Ive post before was some of the 2 by 4 which I used to make a side for the ute

The second one was some of the blue gum which I used to hold up the lintels in our renovations - they are now permanent but hidden behind plaster

And the final one isn't exactly the reject hardwood, but some of the flooring Studley was talking about. It is Northern Beech - feature grade. I've posted a bit more info about it in another thread

Beautiful floor mate.

In picture #2, does it say DUCKS or is it a swear word on the wall?

Yeh the neighbour was gonna paint something wrong on there and ran with 'Mick sucks lollipops' instead. What a scaredy cat!

I still can't work out what a swear word is. I think I need a toddler or kindy kid to tell me.

Whatever happened to foul language or obscenity?

But absolute ripper floor. Plenty more where that came from too.

Studley

When the final coat goes on, I'm gonna post up a pic from above the floor in the hope that some of those Northern Woodie experts can tell me whats what. Just so I can brag to the neighbours!

Here is another $20 of timber.

Thats a beautiful looking rocking chair Wongo.

Almost everything i build comes from firewood.

Here's a couple of things I made ,sorry if you've seen them before, but Wongo seems distressed.

Valet = Blue Gum, Wall unit = Spotted Gum

Also add 2 x bedside tables from Spotted Gum, 1 x occasional table of same and 1 x shoe rack. WIP Blue Gum table top 2.1m x 1.2m x 45mm.

All from Studleys rejects.

Bodgy,

I did my usual trick. Search on Google for 'clothes, valet, stand' or whatever other descriptions you can find. I then picked 3 of the most appealing (to me) designs and sort of merged them into what you see.

If you like I'd be happy to measure it up for you. Be warned, as the thing is all curves, it took a fair while to make. There are far simpler ones, mostly square.

OK, here I go...

Now I know it's not actually Studley's order, but it's the same stuff I think, originally sourced by E. maculata, so why not join the thread he says to himself!

Of course this may dispatch some nasty malicious rumours often spread on this forum about me never finishing anything, but rest assured there's plenty of stuff left to do in the shed and environs!

I haven't slotted the pics online 'cause I thought it was a bit over the top!

There was the Midgenfang of course, with matching mallet:

The clamp racks and compressor stand:

We framed the recording booth (and made the handles):

Of course with some of it we (still) make the occasional fire:

The knob for the fireplace door:

Made a peg reamer for tapered holes:

A doodle bass (including the pegs):

And lastly so far, my brother's bench:

And I haven't used any of it yet!

I'm going to have to increase the scale of what I do, or I'm going to be stuck with it forever!

Cheers,

I haven't gotten around to making anything substantial with it yet. I've actually just started sorting through it and docking the crap (I need more room in my racks and this stuff is everywhere I look at the moment).

No pictures but so far I've made a couple of protoype cabinet doors, the edging on my fireplace hearth, and a lot of smoke and ash with the holey bits. I pulled a nice bit of blue gum out the other day that has a squiggly pattern of gum veins on it that will be a box lid one of these days.

But it all looks impressive in the racks, which let's face it is the only reason I bought it...

What took you so long BM? I really like the wooden hammer and the saucepan.

Is that all can do with a ton of timber? handles? Knobs?

Nice bench and plane mate.
