I've been promising to knock up an oak TV stand/table thingy to replace the horrible grey MDF contraption the TV has stood on for a while. My wife likes plain furniture so no decorative moulding or carvings. This is functional not a piece to be handed down through the family so as long as the...

If I am totally honest we had a couple of practice jobs between number 9 and this one but it was worth it as I think this has come out really well. my best work yet. It's Beaufort Black Ebony Alternative and I have gone with the same material for the section, previously I have been using the...

Number 9 came out this weekend, basically a clone of the one I made for my wife, number 8, but trying to take on board some of the feedback on the shape and form of the pen. This one is for a colleague's wife and my first commission, although I am doing it at cost, well, 78p labour to round it...

Had play today and a break from pen boxes.:banana::banana: First clock I have done with laser engraving my own details on them. Normally used purchased numbers or faces. Little bit of learning as the number 9 and 3 needs bringing in a bit but I think I'm nearly there.. Pleased with that...

Last week somebody arrived at my mates shop with a container of rusted drill bits. "Do you want these or they go to the dump?" Stupid question! Well after a number of days dunking them in the electrolysis bath have got a number of bits as the pics show. Some have been badly abused and badly...
