Pair o’ Stools
Another little commission! This project is for a couple of stools to sit near a front door for shoe taking off and putting on activities. I got my hands on a few empty Cat6 ethernet cable drums from work which would be a perfect size to base the stool on. As a rough plan of Continue reading

Workshop V2.0
As I’ve made more things over the last year or so I’ve chipped away at improving the efficiency and flow of my little workshop space. Tool storage was on the top of the list now. I wanted some kind of racking to enable quickly grabbing a commonly used tool. I have buckets of offcuts so Continue reading

Bits and Bobs Birdhouse
Over the last year or so I’ve built up alot of offcuts which I’ve been saving up until some inspiration manifested it’s self. After sifting through everything I had the best bits organised-ish. I neglected to manifest any sort of inspiration but thankfully I got a request to build a birdhouse! It would be to Continue reading

Tessellated Table
This was a challenge. A challenge for a wood working noob like myself at least. Almost as much of a challenge as trying to recall how on earth I pulled this off 2 months after I finished it. Note to self, take notes during the build not months afterwards! FYI this is a bit of Continue reading

After making the first workbench I decided that I liked it so much I would make another one, and then make another one. This post is basically a quick rundown on what I’m Continue reading

Pallet challenge March 2023.
There is a pallet challenge that I found via Mark Dainer’s (aka dainermade) Instagram account, the challenge is to make a thing out of pallets (I do good explaining). I figure now that I’ve finished the “Mistake-table” I’m basically an expert and should enter competitions. My next logical project has to be a workbench of Continue reading

Mistake table, Mistable, Les Misértables. Part 3 (Final!)
Step 15: Make a proper form this time. An old MDF wardrobe generously donated it’s body parts for the greater good. I traced a line around the table ontop of the MDF panel and then trimmed another panel down with a jigsaw to make the box. Next it was just a case of screwing the Continue reading

Mistake table, Mistable, Les Misértables. Part 2
Step 6: After noticing that the ends of the glued-up slats have a slight gap I decided that this could be a good excuse to use some epoxy. Also, there were some bigger voids in between some pieces of wood that epoxy could be used on. This is where things would start to get really Continue reading
