You do know you're peculiar? Stay so.
Slightly odd, her says windswept and interesting.

A sign for my son in law who has just started nights. 3mm birch plywood, gloss varnish finish. Size is 280mm x 180mm.

A stool, mostly made on a green woodworking course at "Touch Wood" in Herefordshire, but finished off at home:
For a sense of scale, it's 525 mm from floor (bench in that photo) to seat, which feels very comfortable for my lanky frame. The seat is 360 mm wide and 260 mm deep.

That is lovely and so well built.
Has it got steel inserts in those legs?

No, what makes you ask?

Beautiful
if you were going to do that I would of used threaded rod through all 3 pieces.
An insert would be weak and why?

Suggest rounding it over a bit. Falling against a vacant hook like that could cause a serious impalement!
( Having been recently impaled by a nail, these things stand out at the moment.)
Tonight using a pair of trees as anchors, to try and seat the splice I started last week, with a ratchet strap. It did close up a little but theres a long way to go, the red marks should line up when done.

Wise words. I always tend to round or soften corners & sharp edges these days, to save on the pain front, when you inevitably catch yourself on them.

Worked on a new video this past week.
Uploaded this morning
Split it in two videos because there's a lot to be shown actually and I'd prefer not to rush
I'm actually painting it right now
And came to a stop .
I've firstly used rims alu gray paint cause this it's colour roughly .
But I've was supposed to apply a very thin layer of very light green to make it darker and more similar to older paints.
I've over sprayed in a spot and had to paint a main piece completely green to do the reverse with the grey and obtain the results I desire.
The problem is that I kinda like the colour, I'm not convinced yet
That's the colour I was kinda shooting for .
Upon the angle and light reflecting you may see it more silver or green.
But I'm not entirely sure about
That's the green I've over sprayed and I kinda like it.
It's kinda vintage looking machinery colour but it looks like a KitchenAid too

See below my reply. The legs look inherently weak.

I get what you mean. The legs feel strong & the tutor on the course thought they'd be plenty strong enough though. I guess time will tell whether that's true.

I've actually ended up painting it in KitchenAid green
I think it will be great with the black components and the orange guard

No good, I can't relate to that at all, despite being metric for decades.
Gorra mug or a banana?

With virtually no tools, I was able to revive the fuel pump of a maxi scooter that had been sitting in the garage since 2019. I was able to soak up the tarred, sticky gasoline residue using acetone and DMSO + external battery power. The original fine filter has decomposed. We managed to find a filter from a car with a similar mounting method. The tank has been washed, fortunately it is made of HDPE. Tomorrow I'll try to start the scooter. Perhaps the injector will also require cleaning and power (boiling in DMSO in a water bath)
