Had a awesome day at the Ride Forever course on Sunday 

Looking forward to the silver and gold courses in the future 

Time for another table top

My daughter made one with a little help cutting stuff and won first prize last weekend at the local A&P show

Made a bird house today 

Today’s project was to make a headphone and iPad storage and charging centre for a local school 

Ready for a bit of oil now, I’m happy with the fact I only used dowels and 4 screws to put it together and the use of limited assortment of hand tools 

all finished 

This weekend’s project is to make a coffee/side table from a bit of a mixture of native woods

Rimu door steps I had 2 to cut down for the legs, I still need to cut to length 

Rimu door frames for the sides of the table,

powerpole cross beam for the outer wood on the top, and I don’t know what the dark wood is if you have an idea please let me know 

Found this old Rimu folding chair that had a broken piece of wood on the seat base, I had to take the ugly plywood off to fix it so I replaced it with some Rimu slats 

thanks for looking

Started working on a clock

So while I wait for the rest of the clock bits to turn up I will add a little bit of colour to it at some stage 

Finally finished it

Made a little coffee table tray to put stuff in. I think the wood is Rimu and flattened some old copper pipe to cover the screws 

Saturday’s project was to make a table top for this old table base I picked up from the dump and fixed up a while back and has just been sitting in the corner of the shed, this was made by cutting down old 2x4 from the old renovated
Te Aroha West Hall. 

Just about everything I have been making is from the old native timber from the hall,  and I hope you guys are enjoying these little projects as I do them as much as I am.

Thanks for looking.

Today’s mission was to finish these after getting the stitches taken out of my fingers after last time I tried to make them
