Using cedar 2x4s cut to 1.5x3. Planning to seal with outdoor polyurithane varnish. Any thoughts on the design thus far?...

I'm not sure where the right place to post this would be, but here goes....

Part of a larger project I’m working on, which takes the “waste sawdust” and grows a Reishi mushroom out of it.

I made this from a long piece cherry offcut that I've had sitting around for ages. Here's a better picture of the interesting bit:...

I realize this is a woodworking community so don’t kill me, but I’m in the process of upgrading my tablesaw with a new fence so it’s somewhat related. Plus there’s no metalworking community that I could find on Lemmy....

As we didn’t find any shelf of our liking we tried to create it ourself....

I want to make my own bed, and have several example pictures. Where do people find plans for their furniture?

Well, I guess it could handle stuff a good bit wider than 30cm. Mystery wood, but probably red oak. Just a rabbet on each piece, some hardboard (narrower than the print) to connect them, and commodity hanging hardware. Broke the edges with a hand plane, then a light sanding and finished with Danish Oil.

To make the space above our massive heater a bit more useful, I hacked together this little shelf from some second hand wood that I bought from somebody in our area. It's made entirely with hand tools and held together by screws and prayers due to the funky shape of the back side of the heater....

Nothing too fancy and not super precise, basically cut a strip of wood to size with a hand saw and made notches for the pieces to fit together using the same hand saw and a chisel. :)

I recently stumbled on to Witco style artwork and came across the piece pictured here. I’d like to try my hand at creating something similar, but wasn’t sure how to approach the boat bodies....

I built this garden shed to hold potting supplies and lawn tools for my bonsai garden. It was a fun exercise playing with the nail gun and I didn't even stab myself. The shed definitely is not plumb or square, but it hasn't fallen over yet so I'm pleased.

I made a joiners mallet. I’m trying to challenge myself by only hand tools. The wood was found in the basement; I think hickory head and I have no idea what the handle pieces are. The handle and head were each laminated and the handle was mortised in, wedged, and glued. I rounded out the handle with a spokeshave and rasp....

So I’ve been putting off upgrading the fence on my trusty Rigid 4512 for a few years....

Our bathroom has very little extra floor space so the scale has been leaning up against the wall....

My son is obsessed with Mario LEGO and had his own little table in the corner of the LEGO room. It was overflowing and my wife hated how messy it looked. While she was away for a few days I made this....

Cheap cherry slabs with black epoxy. The top is boring but I love the way the front turned out. Drawers are lined with red velvet and have black steel pulls.
