Tool Box and Lid

Dovetail joints for the box. Tongue and groove for the lid, hand drill and coping saw for the handle.

Stool as Martyr

Planks of wood, and nails, many nails.

Nail Experiment

 

 

Wood, tin foil, nails (different sizes) and hammer blows.

 

Small Step

 

A small, neat step, with angled legs and in the style of a miniature Orkney Stool. Can now reach to cut at the top of the vice when needed.

Plough Plane

 

A Record 044 Plough Plane makes tongue and groove a possibility for joining planks to make wider boards, and lots of curleywurley shavings.

Tin Can Wood Gasifier Stove

At last a gasifier that works! Followed those u-tubers really carefully and now can burn tiny scraps of wood productively.

Wishart Stool I

A remake of a stool seen in Orkney. This is a very solid version in comparison to the original and but does use the same vernacular style, though this plank was not found and was actually quite expensive for an off-cut in the local Buildbase.

Wish Heart

 

Practice hearts cut out of wood with a hand drill and a pad saw, while being firmly held with a substantial vice.

 

 

Invisible Mending on Stair Bannister

A good dollop of wood glue to remedy a sliding down the bannister accident. The child was not damaged.

Square Lamp Stand

IKEA specify in their instructions for these cheap lights “Do not attach to round supports” and it is true they never stay on round supports. Here is a simple device to improve the situation, fashioned out of scrap wood and a couple of screws.
