I began building “The Bench” last summer however I finished it last week, 5 March. It is six feet long and three feet wide. It has a built in scroll saw (flip over) and belt sander (out and up bracket) along with a dust extraction and collection system. It also has four blast gates (made myself) that are electrically operated. It has two electrical systems, one is 240 volt when ever the bench is plugged in, and one power takeoff systems to activate the dust extractor when ever a tool is turned on. It has the capability to extract with other hand held tools (router, sander, pocket hole jig, etc). the side panels are non structural and are easily removed for access. It has a moxon style vice at one end.
These are my first attempts at wood turning, Never tried it before and I’ve learnt everything from YouTube, so I’m pretty pleased with my progress so far.I bought my Axminster lathe at the beginning of the month and loving every minute of it.
Recently finished carving the head of a Treble viol (17th century stringed instrument). Every day, I arrive at the workshop an hour before everyone else so that I can work on my hobby in peace before the machines crank up.
I made this because my bandsaw wasnt big enough, I didnt have the budget for a bigger one, so this was the solution. This is a frame saw, made from what I had laying around, the front and back/handles are Ash, and the braces are Maple. Its constructed using through tennons, with Mahogany wedges. The hardware is 40x80 box section, and the blade is a Nobex Fast Woodcutting Blade for 180 Mitre Saw - 630mm x 14tpi, bought from Axminster. Thanks for looking.
I have made 5 rocking horses in total the photo shows my most recent, this is a large rocking horse and I have just finished it after several months of work. It is hand carved from birch laminated wood with Ash hard wood base, secured with solid brass fittings. I turned the spindles on my lathe out of ash. The rocking horse is complete with maroon saddle and bridle in genuine leather with saddle cloths. Mane and tail made from real horse hair for that authentic feel. Complies with all European safety toy standards. This is the only large horse I have made the others have been medium size.
