Christmas Present Time Again

FC's little elf has been busy in the workshop.

He even had to make a basic circle cutting jig for the table saw.

But as he's a little elf, he couldn't spell 'band'!

Mission Control wrote to Santa to say that she's been a good girl this year and she would like a 'tidy' to keep all her knitting bits and bobs next to her while she's knitting. (She's pretty good. A recent post showing a knitted doll and changes of clothes for a young Great Niece of ours got over 150 likes and more than 60 positive comments.)

So the little elf nicked a design off the inter web and started using some of Coley's dog ends of oak.

He just likes that blue tape. It stops the wood surface getting blemished and he can mark all his dimensions on it without pencil or ink getting in the grain.

Then it had to be drilled.

And routed.

And the edges rounded over.

Just the oak pillars to be fitted into the corner holes and then a beeswax finish tomorrow and the little blighter can wrap it for Christmas.

The finished piece with beeswax finish and base underneath.

She's now got over 200 likes on her post!! Don't show this to her, it's her Christmas Present.

Very nice Malc. It might make more sense if we could see it in use.

Yes, I agree, Andy. But she won't be populating it till Christmas day!

But the idea is that the holes can contain anything to do with knitting, needles, scissors, pen to tick off the row on the pattern, pins of all sorts etc., even her spectacles!

And thank you.

Mission Control commissioned me to make a bookcase for No2 grandchild who is mad about dinosaurs. She found a series of 80 books in a charity shop and wanted a book case for them. (They're the books that you subscribe for £1.99 per week till you get the lot!)

I had some mdf left over from another job. I still use biscuits. Can't justify a domino.

I know I'm a bit sad, but I find those curved handgrips a bit sexy!! :oops: It took three different machines to make them

No, Andy. It's going in a 4yo's bedroom. I didn't want a gap that stuff could roll under and it's heavy with the books in, so I thought it would be more stable with a flat bottom. (Bit like me! :) )

Fair enough Malc. I am so used to put everthing on feet even if just small rubber cups as we have solid floors thoughtout here. On Carpet it is less of a problem.

A couple of bits of plywood, some shaker pegs and wooden beads off the interweb and you have an egg holder.

This is a commission from my Taiwanese DiL who will be visiting her mother in in Taiwan the New Year and taking this with her.
