  1. Ciaran (my son) has got the wood work bug. He's spent the last few weeks in secret making a spice or herbs rack for our kitchen. It's turned out brilliant

    For a child with Autism and learning disabilities to have made this is an incredible achievement.

  2. Depuis ma montagne de copeaux de bois, en Normandie, je fais une apparition par ici après plusieurs semaines à préparer les expositions de cet été et la prochaine vente en ligne 🥳 La date est fixée : vendredi 22 mai à 19h ✨ Je vous proposerai plusieurs pièces uniques sculptées au couteau, dont "Le vitrail de fougères" que voici avec sa magnifique chrysoprase verte !
    Ça se passera sur mon site : www.missive-to-bears.com
    À très vite !

    1. @StevenKennard finished the stereo cabinet he's been working on for us, and brought it into the house. It's made in solid maple, with the side slats in birdseye (érable piqué) and the rest of the frame, shelves and top in curly (quilted or tiger) maple. It's not easy to show it in photographs, but the figuring is really gorgeous and looks different depending on the light and the viewing angle. He has spent so many years making beautiful furniture for other people, it's a real joy to have this piece for our home. (It's not the first piece he's made for us, just the first in a long while.)

    2. We enjoyed a delicious Mexican fair trade 'green' (organic practices) oat milk cappuccino with a 'superfood bite' that hit the spot! I adapted the usual recipe to include unsweetened chocolate chips and that really paired it perfectly with the coffee. The local shortage of 85% chocolate has left a hole in our morning coffee ritual and this has now filled it!

    3. I ran (and jumped) for over 10 minutes as part of my morning workout today. For the first 250 steps (running after the workout) I wonder how I'd be able to go on, but after that, I felt I could almost run forever. Almost.

    Have a lovely Sunday, everyone!

  5. It's an early #AllstonXmas gift in #SomervilleMA. I know Labor Day is great, but there's a lot of move-out in May too.

    Looking for advice from handy people: can I unscrew the drop panels from this gateleg and expect to get them back on later? Or should I just leave it alone.

    Super heavy to move intact. You should have seen me wheel it the block down the street at 10pm last night....

    Also: wood type?

  6. Veneered layups with cross grain layers is the basis of so much of our world, but here, furniture and skateboards.

    It's in your walls, the roofing, cabinetry, schools, factories, but most of all skateboards.

  7. RE: cultofshiv.wtf/@EmandEmz/11648

    So far so good for my pigeon deterrent 🤞 I’m going to have to make some shelving for the back of it as I’m running out of room. I have some old pallets given to me from the builders at the nursery at the end of my road, a hammer, a 3m tape measure and a saw. No experience of ever building anything and barely any tools, what could go wrong? 🤦🏽‍♀️. But I have to show my daughter that I am a strong and capable woman and that together we can achieve anything we set our minds to. Fortunately she is in college this morning so I can try and probably fail a fair few times and cry alone 🙏🏼.
    If you can help with supplies please do.

  8. I've had a bit of a productive afternoon. I made a couple of wooden stands for some of my synths two years ago and I'd been meaning to make some more for my old computers, and today I decided to finally get back onto it. First off, a stand for my ZX Spectrum +2. It's pretty sturdy but has a slight wobble, the weight of the Speccy seems to take care of that however.
