Video #05 Workshop update and the shop clock.



The shop clock is made out of a piece of willow, cracks filled with a mixture of sawdust, wood glue and gold dust and finished with 6 layers of lacquer.

Replacement handle for coffee machine

Delivered the handle at the customer... it looks good and seems a lot safer than the original plastic one.

Replacement handle, part 2

 The glue-up is done.




Made a lathe-jig for the tablesaw. Thanks to Izzy Swan at Think woodworks for the inspirational video's on the subject.





From square to round in a few passes on the tablesaw while turning the piece by hand.




 Sanded and ready for a finish.
