madlilnerd posted:Is a glider some sort of rocking bench? It looks really solid and well put together. Its a glider, the entire top swings freely from the bottom. I got the plans out of the last issue of WOOD Magazine. It is made from cedar. I am not very happy with the stain, it is kind of blotchy in places. I think it was due to it being entirely too hot, between 95 and 100 degrees, when I stained it. But overall I am happy with the way it turned out.

Here is my current project, a hand plane. Pretty rough right now. I need to do quite a bit of shaping and then finish it, but it is coming along pretty well.

Sudden Infant Def Syndrome posted:Has your plane got a metal bottom? If it's all wood, will it not get worn/damaged with use and not have a flat surface any more? Here are some pictures of the bottom. The wood that I used is incredibly hard and there is virtually no risk of wearing it out. these pictures show the color of the wood better.

Sun Dog posted:I was looking at this, and it appears to be an ordinary bench mounted on a smaller box with swingy bits. Could any sturdy chairlike vehicle be made to glide in this fashion? I dont see why not.

My big wheel was the most awesome toy when I was a kid. Too bad you out grow them at around age 5. These drift trikes look loving sweet. What do they go for?

No, just rough cut walnut lumber straight from the mill.

Cpt.Wacky posted:Wire wheel on a bench grinder is good for cleaning all the parts except the sole of the plane. You can also just use sandpaper by hand but it's more work. For the sole you want sandpaper on a flat surface. I use the stuff that comes in rolls with adhesive backing from amazon and stick it to a piece of glass or a mirror. 250 grit is fine. I like a little water or windex to float the crud off and keep the sandpaper from clogging up too much. Seconding the wire wheel. That is how I clean up planes and it doesnt take much time at all. That plane is in pretty darn good shape.

Cross posted from the woodworking thread: I made a table. This is something that I have wanted to try for a couple years. When I was digging through my stack of walnut I came across two pieces of a branch that were book matched. Perfect. I built this table by ripping off one of the live edges of each walnut piece. I then made templates out of plywood. I used those templates to match everything up. I am very happy with how it turned out, though the table is a little small. 30"x17"x16".

poxin posted:Posting some actual content, I made a portable bluetooth speaker recently. I feel like it came out pretty decent for not having a workshop. Would have liked to make the box myself instead of using a flat pack (finishing MDF is a pain in the rear end). Killer man! I've seen this done with guitars on youtube. Was it easy?

My toddler nephew has something like this that is grandpa made him. It's literally just a bunch of stuff from the hardware store screwed to a piece of plywood. Hours of entertainment. https://www.etsy.com/listing/730825477/busy-board-toddler-montessori-toys
