Post pictures of something you have made!

My Christmas present for my 4 year old nephew! It's all wood and kid proof, its prettt detailed, but tough enough for years of enjoyment and rough use! Truck is a 1986 Pacific P-16 and measures 3 feet!

Nope! Mine is all Aluminum, brass, copper and steel and Radio Controlled
Mine even has milled axles with real ring and pinions, real leaf springs, and hand made rims with internal bead locks! all welded or silver soldered!

Not as impressive as most of you guys, but, I like to make knives out of found objects by hand.
I've recently become enamored with peasant knives, and my favorite that sort of fits in that genre is the higo no kami knife.

So, I am making a few of those out of these:

I'm not certain as to their original purpose, I have six or eight of them. I think I will fashion a foldable draw knife from one (two?) for long term backwoods camping.
I mostly just use carbide files and sharpening stones. It is very time consuming so far, but I am enjoying it.

All dogs in this neighborhood, take this as your fair warning.

another porch roof down...
pretty simple, but it's always fun notching 6x beams to fit a 4x beam cleanly on top of a 6x post...and no mistakes allowed. first cut has to be perfect when the beam is 30 feet long

Nice, been looking at thos project myself. Looks great

I could ask my mom, but she's busy so I just looked it up.
According to the Google Translator "Higonokami" translates to "Fertilizer Guard".

….there's a dirty joke in there somewhere.

This is my favorite explanatory article:
Higonokami - The Little Brother of the Katana

 

[DeanMk]

Cool article.
I have to say I see a lot of similarity between the Higonokami and a barber's straight razor.
Mainly, the little thumb lever used for opening the knife and the simple folded metal sheath.
I gotta wonder if one didn't influence the other.

Again.... I grow more than I make.

My current system is limited to about 24 plants, if I remake to the below I can get 42 plants in the same space. 2'x5'.
Working on a new hydroponic layout:


I currently run a deep water culture and it is producing very well but I'm looking to maximize space.

24 heads ready for harvest and the birthday event I'm going to this afternoon. Hopefully I can score a little donation dough and feed the people with my greens.

Nice crop!

Thanks brother! So far, this thing weighs 20 pounds and is 78 inches long! Now all I need to do is carve all the wheels and finish painting it!

 

[SOrez]

I made this to tow behind my 01 Tracker. I need repaint it.

Nice Jeep Trailer tribute.

me and my employee had to burn some wood recently....found a piece of rebar so we made a knife while the fire burned...I had a battery air blower to help make the heat...also had some motor oil on hand to dip it in

 

[Ura-Ki]

We have some wheels now! Takes about 1-1/2 hours each to cut and turn each one! What a P.I.T.A. but the end result rocks!
