Hi all
After looking at so many pics from others I thought it would be time to show some of my work. It’s certainly not in the same quality range as most of you but I am just struggling with the beginnings. Maybe I should work through the masterclasses first before I try something ‘uncharted.
The “nexus stand” I didn’t really design myself.
My “small knives box” is just a variation of the dovetail boxes, has no bottom.
The wood is reclaimed firewood. I chopped,cut and planed square small boards out of ash wood. The insert in the knivesbox is beech which was an off cut from a larger block which was bought.
No electrons were hurt in all this…I learned a whole lot but I feel I still need to practice much more before there won’t be any gaps.

Thanks all for the positive comments. However I didn’t show any details. The gaps in the joints are there, some are filled with dust from the sanding… guess that’s a nice way to cover up mistakes.
I’ll probably redo them when my skill improves more.First have to build some clamps, then finally a real bench. All those were done on a wobbly workmate. Definitely not good for my back.
