What We're Making

Wow, amazing, I'd love to see a video of that process, can't imagine how you did it all yourself.

Well, it usually takes me in excess of 40-60 hours to make a single folding knife; not including forging the meteorite damascus. That would be a long video

Fun hobby ... was sort of a 2nd 'job' for awhile, but then life got in the way.

Robbie, robbie, robbie...you need to coat that PVC in Platinum or Gold! Blow that dough man! Plus it'll hose right off with the bird doo! Did you by chance make any cinder block shelves ever?

Transformed my garden from this to this. Used cedar slats from Lowes (https://www.lowes.com/pd/Severe-Wea...-6-ft-Cedar-Dog-Ear-Wood-Fence-Picket/3556636). Cut off the dog ears. Double thickness, staggered joints. Post are slats ripped into thirds. They go in the ground 1'.

Your "Ham Shack" looks like quite a step up from an old shed in the corner of the back yard!

Hiking sticks for the grand niece and grand nephew. Hers is a pice of oak that fell from the tree in the photo. His is a piece of redbud that fell last year. Put table leg caps on the end and paracord handles.

 

[SoReadyToRetire]

Nice! I use one when I hike, and it's amazing how much safer I feel.

Ronstar, those are very nice, and that is interesting that you could make those from that oak tree.

 

[SpinDoctorTX]

Ronstar, My nephew made us sticks similar to those in your photo. They have become a treasured gift and we use them regularly.

What a great gift for your grand niece and grand nephew.

 

[Ronstar]

Thanks everyone,

I'm sure the kids will like them - and soon outgrow them. I made them to use now at their current height. They are 4 and 8 years old. I have enough left over paracord and sticks to build them longer ones when the need arises.

Spring has finally arrived here so decided to make DW a couple of tall planters for the patio. She just has to decide if she wants to paint them now or not.

 

[SpinDoctorTX]

Nice planters... I like the rustic look.

 

[Ronstar]

Nice planters!

I just made these wire work jewelry & several hangers as well!

Thanks- We all have our talents... I like to make things out of recyclables too. DH restores/ assembles antique guns & is also a photography buff.

We're both EBAY and gunbroker active & fund a lot of extras with our hobbies. It's also a way to have some space! Good for the marriage for sure.

 

[Ronstar]

Nice Jewelry!

Turned a couple of bottle openers on my lathe. (Didn’t make the metal part) also a pair of barn doors for some friends. They are doing the final paint and install.

 

[SpinDoctorTX]

The bottle openers are beautiful. What is the wood used for the handles?

 

[Lawrencewendall]

Didn't take pictures of the other 3 but these are shadow boxes to showcase DS's SO's Disney ears. Made 2 ea 24"x14" and 2 ea 36"x 14". This is one of the 36".

WOW! So many talented people here. Outstanding on your projects.
