and also when I've made more than just a mess.
Same. At the moment I'm too busy clearing all the half finished jobs from the last 3 or so years (seriously) but once I have a router...
That tool box is nice, I like it. How did you make it?

Been messing about on a laser cutter wotsit at work and have made a few bauble type thingies for friends and family. Google image search, made into vectors in 2D design, cropped, clipped etc...text and shizzle.
After all, nothing says Happy Christmas quite like a candy skull

I started a separate thread a while back but then photobucket did that thing and it's pretty much pointless now.
Anyhow I've just about finished my daughter's balance bike, just the head tube badge to bond on.
I got a donor bike for the wheels, grips and saddle. Shortened some old P2 forks and built my first frame.
Little miss breadcrumb is still a little small for it but I confirm it handles nicely around the kitchen!

Breadcrumb
What is the bar stem combo you’ve used? I’m building one of those tiny demo DMR frames that where on eBay a few months ago, and reach is a problem for little people. They look ideal? If off the shelf.Posted 2 weeks ago # -
Thanks Alex, I've wanted to build a frame for years seems fitting that my first frame is my daughter's first bike.
Oldschool- it's not off the shelf unfortunately. It's a set of old bars shortened and scalloped to fit an old DMR seat clamp and welded together. I got lucky with the clamp as it was just kicking about the spares box.
Edit: photo of bars/stem, needs a polish

Nice table Oli!
Is the resin flush with the yew? Was it difficult to do?Here's the pic from your link:

^^^ Nice table!

Thanks for that Alex!
Yea the resin is flush (except in the long thin closest patch bottom left, but I’ll top that up.)
I originally planned to make it with some beech, but it wasn’t as dry as I was led to believe and warped when stored in the house for a while.
So got the Yew instead.
Would opt for something with less holes next time, I covered the underside of those gaps with tightly layered tape to stop it leaking anywhere. And had to build a large box to contain the piece.There are a few more pics on my Flickr of it in construction.
Also the resin I used took around 48hours to cure. So now I’ve had go I would happily opt for something a bit quicker setting. Especially when the main centre took two pours to fill and set. So a chunk of waiting time!I also opted to keep the wood exposed and not just encase the whole thing in resin. As I think it’s nice to have the contrast in material and feel.
Album with a few more pics.

Built 6 weeks back. I've been needing to carry heavy workshop stuff; metal, tooling and the likes but I don't own a car. A fullblown cargo bike is overkill however.
so...
I was admiring this omnium and decided to make my own version.
Built from scrap metal leftover from my adventures in learning TIG.
I present to you, the Cargoturd!
It may be ugly but it works so well that I've ordered a bunch of tubing to build a fancy version.
There's a sleeved and welded steerer extension in there, extended headtube and an enormous rack. Fag paper calcs say it'll yield at a 100kg pointload right on the end so reasonably overbuilt yet is surprisingly light - a lot of the tubing is fairly thin walled.
