Northern English bearded geek who cooks, eats and bores people about cars. Same handle in lots of places. My work related tags are #DevOps #SRE I guess. mostly I debug #AWS shenanigans and try to figure out why bits of the internet are broken. I'm not great with faces so if you hit follow please have something in your profile has I can work out who you are. Staunch LGBT+ ally.

Yeah, I definitely need a massive US truck because I do DIY.... (No comments on the safety or this please).
1994 #mx5 proving to be the answer. Again.
This will be the raw materials for my next #woodworking project, a bench made out of a huge oak log.

There is a perfect storm of circumstance pushing me back into doing #Woodworking and I'm going to build a crosscut sled, to facilitate a couple of other projects on the go. Also the not-cast-iron top of this new table saw is a bit not-perfectly-flat, making it difficult to actually calibrate it to the 90 stop - the sled will span the whole tabletop, so should average out to something serviceable.
I ponder taking it back and getting the one I see in the youtubers' shops (the ones who don't have Sawstops that is), but that's another $aintgot cause this is a cheaper saw that was on sale. And it's pretty darn good nonetheless. And the Worm motors have a kind of 50s vibe to their design, both this and my Makita circ saw, they look like old muscle cars kinda, and that pleases the small boy in me that played with Hot Wheels cars, and never will get to own that Nova with the gurgly rumble. Nor a 34 wagon Oldie But A Goodie. Perhaps an EV conversion, which will still be fun.
I do miss that cast iron top. I don't miss how much floorspace I had to give up for it. I dunno. Anyways.
So I was comparing sled designs among my favorite youtube woodheads, I have the urge to deluxe out on everything, but decided to take the advice of this guy, who counseled starting with a simple thing, and I know that is sage advice. I have wood and supplies all at hand for that, so I can have it done in a few days without having to shop or do any fancy routing.
But anyways, folks who are into #Geometry and who work in #3D stuff will find this exercise in risky saw abuse fascinating, and you will also be happy that he has done the experiment for us, and when you need a complex curve dug out of a piece of wood, you will use an appropriately-shaped router bit on the router table, rather than turning your woodshop into a Jackass set for the views.
But let's give him views anyway, the nutjob...

Primer clavixeiro que fago practicamente listo salvo por unhas mans coa lixa.
Verdaderamente un dos procesos máis divertidos xunto facer as clavixas no torno 😁

Always a great feeling when a client sends through the finished photos 📸
This full oak staircase was designed and installed by our team, featuring square spindles, chunky newel posts, and a bullnose bottom step. Paired with that herringbone oak flooring, the whole hallway just comes together.

Second carcass done and hung.
Next step is fittings, rails, pegs and whatnot to keep tools tidy. I might even do some drawers in the future.
