I have the ridge & Fascia shingles to finish, T & G floor inside to stain, seating and a table to make as well as the internal T & G panneling.

Holy crap that's where all the forests go!

At JCL.....Yep, wood; the only sustainable building material. No cement used. Not even on the fence-posts.

mike smith - you just made me very hungry!
northwind - no, but i'll try and get one

did you make the frame too Ben?

Not quite that much 😉

Made the forks from scratch, modified the rear triangle quite a bit - the main frame and stem are standard.

awwwww man i asked this on the other place...you might as well make the whole schebang if they complain send them my email address....lol

I am thinking about it - well, making an improved folder inspired by the Brompton - but at the moment it's easier to modify existing Bromptons. They have the economies of scale for things like catches and pivots.

Some inspiring stuff on this thread.

Me, my dad, and a bloke from South Shields called Peter Brown. Made 3 of these so far, this is a picture of the first. The latest has longer pneumatic and electrical boxes on the front and different mountings for the guide lasers.
The latest was installed and commissioned on Friday.

Wasn't the LAST thing I made (some of) but it's the only one I can show you...

fruitbat, are you sure that faces flat

Yes I think it is. The tool now has the addition of a pack of bellville washers to provide the axial load.

My shed 😀

[img] [/img]

Ok, it's not flashy or even that big (i have got my bikes and the kids bikes plus my fishing gear and a load of other stuff in it though!), but i did build it from out of a pile of random bits of wood.
And it's my first attempt at building anything 😆
Also it survived 'hurricane force' winds yesterday 😉

Not made, more of a put up. My £800 ebay purchase conservatory. Had to lower the height of the roof, as the house it came from was absolutely massive, and we hadn't got the height.

First and last conservatory I will ever put up.

Not made, created donchewknow. From a reference picture, obviously.

Recycled from a fence that was in the garden when we moved in. We bought a piece of the neighbours garden, which is 5 inches deep in the red chips you can see, and it's about 150m2. That's gonna be a fair bit of barrowing!. This ain't it's final position, my shed is going there. Takes 6m3 of logs, and I've two others that take 4m3 each, so I reckon I can fit 3 years wood in them. I've just got the roofing felt to go on.

Prepare to be astounded:

I like that Househusband and love the bed neilc.

At the start of the week I made this cupboardy, chesty drawery thing...

[img] [/img]

...and then later in the week I made this corner shelf unit for a basin...

[img] [/img]

...and later still, I made this shop counter with (not very)secret storage in the top and a bench, for the same shop.

[img] [/img]

This week was unusually MDF-centric... 🙂

Made a hash of removing a linkage bolt. Which I think will end up making me poor. And sad.

yeah but the thing is KAyak23 you make 3 things in a week, i make one a month!

This is a great thread but perhaps we need to differentiate between items made as part of your job - and otherwise!

That really is an excellent portrait Samuri.

what your not a professional coat-hook maker househusband?

and job implies making money - i certainly dont manage that!

To be honest it's not part of my job really. I teach in a college, and i made these for friends and relations during this week(Half-Term)

Samuri's scribbling is rather nice, but more impressed by psychobiker's conservatory!

I grew the veg to make this 😳

what your not a professional coat-hook maker househusband?

Nope, I'm a 'Technologies' (as we're now known under the new 'Curriculum for Excellence in Scotland) secondary teacher - so I'm an utter amateur amongst contributors here!!!

Thanks for the comments.

There is something wrong with it although you'd need to be an Amy afficianado to notice it.

Awesome looking meal bearneccesities by the way.

Made from scratch scotia? (apart from the basins)

@ AlexSimon - yup.. 'designed' by myself, modelled in 3-D during my lunchbreaks and cut and joined myself. Was a first use of my router and plung saw..festool is nice stuff!

Very nice indeed - especially neat handle details.

thanks! I just hung the cabinet saturday.. was an experience..

The 2nd one is being started..

Another STW oversize balance bike - ready to strip down and go in a box. Hopefully an update on the main thread soon.....
http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/project-balance-bike-for-my-autistic-son

Works with 20", 24" and 26" (26" skinny tyres only as per photo) so covers an age range from about 7 to 12+.

Forks are Redline cruiser BMX, all the rest of the frame I made. Dropouts and bolt on disc mount (bolt on to correct a little mistake....) are hand cut.

Very inspired by all the things on here. The thread that keeps giving.

I made a makeshift lathe using a pillar drill and an old bearing unit to mill a Hope 135mm axle down to 130mm, and was very proud of my endeavours.

Seeing this thread makes me want to go and sob quietly in the corner to myself, and dwell on my true uselessness. 😥

A old Record No.6 vice, an original 'Made in England', bolted down to an old guillotine base from school workshop and some solid oak worktop left over from new kitchen. It may not be the prettiest but is pretty darn stable - think it weighs about same as me...

How old is that? And do you prune continuously, or do you just let it grow until a certain age then prune?

It's great looking at cozz's post on a tablet as initially you just see the top of the tree. Then as you scroll up it looks like a tree in a humungous pot 😀

@ Ben ..... What's the deal with the hub.

Looks like it's had its axle and cassette shortened but what's with the groove in the cassette body.

Not being Brompton oh fey it's puzzling me 🙂

@ Ben ..... What's the deal with the hub.

Brompton 2-speeds use normal (ish) sprockets on a shortened freehub body, held on with a circlip - that's what the groove is for.

Ahhhh.

Thanks Ben 8)

its a western hemlock, about 12-14 years old, bought as in pic 2, trimmed, wired, styled and potted. ABout 2 hours work for me

Wire will stay on for about a year, then be removed, the branches will then stay set in that position, trimming of new growth will be needed to maintain its shame

Maintain it's shame? Has it been naughty?

Ah, interesting, thanks - so can one buy trees like that to bonsai yourself?

We've got a lovely Japanese Maple in the garden, in a pot - it's pretty much bonsai-ing itself nicely, but unsure what kind of care it might need. At the moment it gets none at all.

It tastes delicious and I brewed it by myself.
Plus it's a bit strong.
I feel pissed after a couple of pints

yes ben, anyone can do it, but its easier if you've been doing it for 25 years

just like anyone can re-weld the back of a folding bike and chuck some discs and hub gears up it!!

easy when you know how and have the skill 😀

Cozz, I bought a lovely Chinese Elm from your place about a month ago. I'm in Mapperley. May see you round sometime !!
