you have a riving knife on it?

I do yeah. with the push stick things and the blade cover i'm never really all that close to the blade. Still doesn't take it out of chainsaw territory though.

I'd love one of these.
I'd probably be minus a thumb within 24hrs

i know a couple of lads from the woodturning chapter with missing digits.
the last timei heard of such an injury involved someone using a pillar drill on a cold day, so he was wearing gloves, which is a no-no.

If you ever get one, there are slightly more expensive than entry level ones that are on wheels or a folding stand. I wish i'd gotten one of these as it tends to sit in the corner as a table for weeks at a time and then be used for 3-4 hours processing big batches of stuff.

At the minute i'm turning a load of pallets into bootlegs of ikea boxes, cutting enough for 7-8 of them per session. then it'll be a month of assembling before i look at it again.

latest thing was this waste and recycling bin. I'd only 165mm in depth to work with to make it fit in the kitchen hence not just buying a bin like a normal person. the left fits regular bin bags, the right hand side is a box that slides out for recyclables. the photo is one pic before the final paint coat. there will be a lid at some point.

saw this planter recently and decided i must try to make it; nice simple design:

this is my collection of hand planes. the cheap one at the end was the most expensive one because it was bought new (though the no.5 was given to me for free)

Where the fuck do you people find the time?

 

[magicbastarder]

we make it in our sheds. out of old pallet wood.

[JohnnyRaz]

Where the fuck do you people find the time?

15mins here and there over the day when working from home.
at night when the kids in bed.

A couple of years ago a neighbour of mine chucked out a pile of teak 2x1 and a teak plank, made this out of it with some other hardwood taken from a pallet. its a little shallow, but works.

Clamps are an absolute essential to any shed endeavours

Guitar is finally alive & playable, but a lot of setting up to do (including getting the nut right).
The bridge came with the wrong width saddles, so I had a minor heart attack on Sunday night when I thought I had made a balls of the allignment of the whole thing. Luckily I had another bridge with saddles of the correct width I could cannibalise

set up and playing.
for the pickup nerds amongst you - the pickups are a slightly worn set of these I got in a trade.

Murky Horizon humbucker sized P90 - vintage hot style neck with a fatt

Solderless setup with all required wiring available here. Our Murky Horizon P90 in a humbucker sized package. A pickup set with one aim in mind: alleviate the typical P90 set issue of a mismatched flabby neck and a thin bridge. P90 necks can sound beautiful when wound to a nice clean vintage...

They sound AWESOME. I go so far as to say they are the nicest 'rawk' orientated pickups I've encountered.

No one needs to see a video of me playing guitar. Here’s a review from the very chap who I got them from, nice guy (these are the very pickups obviously)
