I hope not. It soon became such a muddle.


I've not spent that much time browsing the "Post a photo of the last thing you made" thread, but I really like the "Stuff you have made today" thread on mig-welding.co.uk. There are loads and loads of posts of stuff (like this or like this for two of mine as they're easy to find) that doesn't seem worth doing a project page for but might be vaguely interesting to others.

I don't know what an air cap is, but the belt sander stand looks grand. The simpler the better I reckon with those things, because if it is any sort of faff to set up, you either won't bother, or you'll leave it set up all the time and it will just be in the way.

Cheers Bob! it got me at least in the garage for a couple of hours :)

An aircap Mike is a needle set for in this case an hvlp system, just thought id organise them a bit better than leaving them in their packets.

I thought id make the stand for the belt sander as i have depleted all my fun-funds for a while so that edge sander i had my eye on has to wait. it works rather well and just drops on a couple of dogs to firmly connect it to the MFT.

Bath racks are a lot like toasters, you can never find the right size. So I made one from some scraps off an old bed base.

I'm not sure it's what you'd call 'actual woodwork', Mike, but it's wood and I did the work.

Not so much woodwork more MDF work but its workshop time. I have a 7 foot high 11 foot wide bookcase to make, adjustable shelving on top unit and fixed shelf with shaker style doors on bottom part. This will be fitted into a room and panels to match on adjacent walls. It is all being painted (i think blue/grey) but I'm only making and fitting the bookcase and panelling someone else will follow up painting.

What's that wood, Alasdair? It looks a little like one of the false mahoganies.

Building something without having to do the finishing..........perfect!! :)

its one of those super soft mahoganies, I chose that over pine as it was available from local merchants and it is knot free so will give a better painted finish than some pine where the knots start to bleed.
