What have you made/created today?

I was trying to figure out how to keep the piece in place to router it....thanks for the pic Now I can use mine more effectively.

 

I used some scrap 2x4s and cut them down to 1.5 inches. I made a "frame" for this cutting board simply to keep from tearing out the edges and screwed the frame together around the cutting board to hold it into place. It also gives me a test area when adjusting the depth of the router bit.

 

i had some pieces just laying in there and it kept slipping and digging in. This should help keep it from moving around. The other thing I was going to do was put some of that cupboard lining on the bottom so it wouldnt move.

 

I guess I haven't fully made it yet but im making this stained glass RV sign with wood burned palm trees and beach on one side and cacti with desert on the other for a military couple at my current location.. I made a sign similar for our TT but no where nearly as detailed.. Same colors but not all the lines and design.

This Is all the glass ready to be foiled for their sign..


And here is our sign for reference as to what theirs will look like.. The letters are a blue pearl epoxy. Once I fab a stand for it we will place it out in front of the RV.




and another I completed for Mothers Day a few weeks ago prior to final coating.


Final assembly

 

good to see someone else doing stained glass! I'm new to it, but I really like it so far. I love the glass in the wood slices; looks super nice

 

Thank you!
Funny this wasn't supposed to be my hobby.. The gf decided to get into it and made a couple pieces and hasn't touched it since so ive been messing with it as im recovering from shoulder surgery so this is sort of my light duty "fabrication" until I get back into my fab shop! We also live in an RV and have way tooo many crafts but I wont be giving this one up.. its pretty fun. The soldering is anyway lol

 

Made another set of these today. Just waiting on puddle lights to come in.

 

Mostly done, need to finish filling in a knot on the side and sand down, then oil/seal it, add some rubber feet and should be decent cutting board. 18"x12"x1.75"

 

what's the species of wood?

 

Walnut and birch.

 

I made a pile of saw dust (router dust?)

 

nice!

 

Salt&Pepper mills, I turned them on the lathe today. 10" tall

 

Finally got my last bit of banisters done!!!!

 

nice job!

 

Thanks!!!! Shew, its been a long hard process, but thankfully its almost done!!!!

 

Then paint/stain I hate that part...

 

Tried my hand at some French Cleats for some hand tool storage... not quite finished but you get the idea.

 

Yea, that will be at least next year, maybe the year after. Want to let the wood dry good, get seasoned well so the paint or stain (whichever we decide to do) will stay on it will.

 

Finished my aunts garden.
