Here are a few bits and bobs I've made lately. Bought a threading kit recently and have been playing around with it. Here are some nuts and bolts in boxwood, nyloc nut, wing nut, dome nut, acorn nut and a plain one. I'm doing some in contrasting timbers as well.

Also made a plaque for my fossilised Megalodon tooth. The tooth is about 4.5" across the base so that gives an indication of the plaque size. Made in walnut and french polished.

Love them Craig, i like those nuts and bolts for sure .. Just pleased that no Megalodon's are swimming in the East Coast Seas, with the size of that tooth. A great finish to the plaque though .. :thumbs:

As a self confdessed nut about threads and threading I find your delightful nuts and bolts most refreshing the sharks tooth impressive and most suitably displayed on that excellent stand so well finished providing great dignity to the tooth itself.Any museum would be proud to have succeeded as you have Craig.
