I like that
Everything to hand too.Cheers JMS1972, it soaks up a lot of stuff
Wouldn't need to put a new garage up if it was a Yamaha, no one would pinch itI can visualise a Honda sized spot on the right although I think a Yamaha would be better![]()
Thanks for that Paul, I want to keep it in keeping with the look of my garage so I’ll find some wood to clad it with. I may do it like my shed. I’ll see.I did one for a neighbor a while ago, it was an over door for security,
This one was clad with 5 bar aluminium tread plate, but you could use barley seed pattern which is a lot less industrial
Get some rouge. Really finishes them. A good pal of mine uses diamond paste to good effect.Machined a bushing so this plywood wheel would be a snug fit for my half inch bench grinder shaft , then just sanded and turned wheel true so I could apply buffing compound
This makes a quick way to sharpen knives axes chisels etc to a mirror finish with little effort
Maybe not as good as all these fancy Japanese katana spec whetstones but gets tools far sharp enough for meView attachment 298400View attachment 298402View attachment 298401View attachment 298403View attachment 298404
cheers will try that out , these arent quite shaving sharp but may be compound may be user skill.Get some rouge. Really finishes them. A good pal of mine uses diamond paste to good effect.
You could try some of that resin plywood for trailers, it might give it a contrast/ modern look with some silver hardware.Made this door the other day, dropped it in for galvanising Tuesday night and had it back and fitted todayvery pleased. Just need to establish how I’m going to clad it now.

Finished an occasional table foe sale by my local men's shed. All the steel barring the "carpet-friendly" feet is reclaimed from old balustrading and scrollwork that was donated/acquired.

And like every good maths student I've shown my working out.

Handy to have old 3mm ali chequer plate as a bench top
