I've spent the last 4 weeks on and off making a tool cabinet. Will add 2 more hinged inner doors and sliding cabinet doors left and right of the main cabinet before I'm done.
Beautiful!

You all are so incredibly skilled. I've been a little reluctant to post my projects.
But here it goes. Myself and another skilled volunteer led a team of unskilled volunteers in making this little access panel for troublesome leaking plumbing at the non-profit. Aside from suggestions and supervision, I didn't do anything except put the knob and magnetic catches in place. All made from left-over wood, trim and paint. Hardware cost was $12. I'm proud of my volunteers. They learned a lot, such as mitering corners and the need for a proper reveal when placing trim.

Been cleanup and burning a lot of branches and old wood this fall. I had some old dried-up chokecherry trees about 4 inches in diameter and decided to use some of it for a few projects.
Come to find out it is classified as a hard wood. The grain is very tight and has beautiful colour and grain. It is a very hard sustainable wood and great to work with. I was surprised!!
Any way I decided to make another ice fishing handle/rod with a piece of that chokecherry wood. I hand rasp the handle and oiled.
Here is a picture of the chokecherry and one other I made yearly this year. The one I made from a horn I did post here before.
Nothing special but fun usable item. I plan of given them to my
GD's sometime. Their dad is a fisherman.
I've got nothing going right now, but my clamps are on a job.
DN and DB are building a boat kit. It has a double bulkhead and gets sawn in two to make it easy to transport.
Personally I'd have a hard time doing that cut. Looks fine in one piece and I would figure it out.
That's a good looking boat! And I found that you can never have enough clamps when building a boat.
My toolbox slides around in the back of my Jeep. So I bought a Milwaukee PackOut toolbox. And a mounting bracket for securing the toolbox on a wall or in a vehicle. First I mounted the mounting bracket to a piece of mdf, then the mdf/bracket to the Jeep floor with u-bolts.
Didn't like the ends of u-bolts exposed so I cut them off. Still didn't like the look, so I went to the hardware store for nut caps. They didn't have them. So I measured a hex nut, designed a nut cap in Sketchup, and 3d printed some nut caps.
Nice fix. I had to search 'nut caps' (or are they 'cap nuts'?), I always called them 'acorn nuts' (seems redundant, since acorns are nuts!). I'm surprised you couldn't find them locally:
