I made a whiskey "neat"... and I'm working on my disappearing whiskey magic trick with updates to follow on the progress..

A couple little projects from the last couple of weekends, putzing around in the garage.

This is a table I made to put the TV on in the spare bedroom. It's made of three pieces of wood with no fasteners. I did glue the joint of the bottom pieces but don't think I needed to. The last pic shows how I routed out the underside of the tabletop. The legs index in there so that this portion takes on some of the weight.








Another little project. I drive a 2011 Tacoma with an auto. It had this tiny little shallow groove beside the shifter that was only about 1 inch deep that was basically worthless. There is another 4-5 inches of empty space under it, so I cut the bottom out of it and made a deeper storage pocket out of MDF I had laying around.

Old version:



New version (since this pic, I sanded it and painted it with a matte black textured paint and it looks better):

How many hours do you have in that thing so far?

How many hours do you have in that thing so far?

oh geez. no idea. There is a lot of waiting for stuff to dry. probably 14 layers of fiberglass in various areas around the kayak that need at least 1-2 hours to apply and 10 hours to dry each. Same with wood glue. Just finished the fiberglass resin sanding which I estimate took 16 hours because of how hard the resin cures. still need 8 layers of spar varnish and those need 24 hours to cure per layer.

Its going to have detachable "ama" and "aka" (catamaran like) so it will end up looking a bit like this (minus the sail and the kayak is a different design). I just started on one of the aka (cross beams)

This is a 1/20.3 scale model of a 3ft narrow gauge maintenance of way workshop car on a lumber company short-line somewhere between Port Orford and East Anglia.

The most of it is made from Costa and Starbucks coffee stirrers, with the narrower 'planks' from MacDonalds. It's about 23" long over the knuckles.


Here are a couple of shots of it under construction....






Here is is behind my Accucraft D&RG K27 Mike....

Made a winch bumper for the little 4X4.

My house has some really unnecessary weird designs and tight turns and small rooms. I've had to do some fairly major redesigns including moving plumbing and electricity, removing non-load bearing walls, etc. This project is the one I'm most proud of. I did require the help of a more skilled carpentry friend but it was my vision most of my work and it turned out fantastic. Really opens the room up in a big way.

Made a hang out for the hand tools. Their better behaved when they have a home.

 

[2DaMtns]

Forgot to include this in my recent post. Made this to hang the small hand tools and such. I'm not the one who put tile on a work bench, by the way.

Pic number one is what it looks like when you use a drill press without locking down the work.

Pic number two is 20 dollars in posts and 5 dollars in the small plates. The yellow target I bought, and then decided I could do better than 20-25/plate. The posts remain, and I unhook my cables, put my gear in the bucket and go (after picking up brass, of course!).

The rifle plate belongs to a friend. He has seen the pic, but he has not been there yet!

Finishing up this smoke house!
