What have you made/created today?

can make knives out of the old blades

 

haha I went through my knife making phase about 10 years ago... definitely don't want to combine the two hobbies in my garage now.. sparks and saw dust don't mix well! haha

 

Old tools and blades have a cool look to them. I’d nail them to the ceiling line of my shop.

 

I like the idea, but probably not on my ceiling. I have the old 14" lettering from the side of my fire station that I want to put up on a wall.. Probably do some things up high (out of arms reach) since I have 9 foot walls in my garage.

 

That works too!

 

working on another. I roughed the edges should look neat when its glued together....

 

How are you coloring the wood?

 

just a exterior latex paint

 

tell me about it. blade fixations...

 

Looks good!

 

Here’s a few projects I did over he last few months. A 13 foot long floating shelf, console table with matching end tables but don’t have pictures of those. Currently working on a 6 foot computer desk for my wife’s business. This desk will the similar to the tables. Also, made some wand holders for a friends daughter. It was my first time using a wood burner.

 

Also here are some cup turners I made for wife so she can start making custom cups.

 

any samples of cups? Just curious to how it works.

 

My wife is having fun with the wood burner...shes got some other stuff that is far better but shes going to make a bunch of these fridge magnets. I chopped up a bunch of blanks today. about 24 pine, bunch of vine maple. And I cut up a 2'x4' sheet of birch plywood for her bigger stuff.

 

getting ready to glue up.

 

The cat

 

Built a small bridge at camp.

 

These are some that she made on an old version of a cup turner. Just improved on the design to make it sturdier. She takes a dollar store foam football and puts that on the pvc pipe and the cup fits tightly over the football. This is mostly for the epoxy process. It turns it slowly so the epoxy can cure evenly.
