What have you made/created today?

@Sear87 - The pergola is nice but the blanket, and it's history, is amazing.

 

Thanks! And yeah the quilt is a treasure. It was completely unexpected

 

Pergola is cool, missing a brace on front left

 

We ran just short of lumber. Was wondering how long until someone pointed that out...

 

Thanks!

I'm honestly not sure if my mom knows when the quilt top was made, and who knows about the butterfly. That certainly would be a good companion piece for the quilt, though. Thanks for the suggestion

Otherwise, the who and what are embroidered on it, we just need the when.

 

Made some grab handles for the truck in some downtime. They were surprisingly enjoyable to make

 

We’re building a smoker and I blindly grabbed one out of your pile. Sure enough, here I am! A little big for me, but these are great. Thanks for being such a badass



I’ll need to get some in my size when the orders roll in. Lead time?

 

Adirondack Chair in burnt pine and finished with a satin polyurethane.

 

Threw together a quick stand out of some leftover plywood for my dog's bowls and feeder

 

Soap dish for my sister

 

Thats neat

 

Cast a few blanks today with Sweetgum Balls in Alumilite.

3 Bottle Stopper blanks and 1 Ring blank. I could use the stoppers as game calls, rings, shaving brushes, gear shift knobs, or ???




Stoppers in the molds


Ring blank mold


And a block mold without the sweetgum balls that could be used for slimline pens, crochet needles, seam rippers, knife scales, or rings.



I might do some bowl blanks at a later date, still have plenty sweetgum balls available.

 

I've lived my whole life not knowing what those things are called. Just know they suck to step on.

 

Yeah, they're no fun to step on, you'll roll an ankle if wearing shoes or they'll stab you if barefoot.

 

Just a few clamps for my cellular antenna pole mount hope to boost my speed in a remote area

 

Rod holder for the boat.
Keeps them off the deck.

 

Spent a little time in the shop Friday, played with some cypress I had laying around and this happened. Now I've gotten my wife's for Mother's Day gift taken care of.

 

Had a stick of red oak dowel under foot in the shop so I decided to turn a honey dipper out of part of it. I didn't like the way the wood was turning so I had to try and clean it up and lost most of the design/shape I was turning into it. Not pleased with the results on this one.


Ran into Houston this afternoon and while there swung by Clark's Hardwoods and found a stick of cherry that needed some modifications and a new home.

Cherry Honey Dipper




And depending on what you're using it for, it's either a muddler, masher, or pestle
