    Other things that we turn or make

    Just joined!

    Hey everyone. I decided that I would take up a new hobby in lock-down and bought myself a lathe. Something that had been on my radar for a while, mainly from very relaxing YouTube videos featuring woodworking and turning. I have been a pen enthusiast for years, I have a small collection of...

    Display shelving

    Rather than keep posting in Fredericks post I thought it would be a good idea to post pictures of my shelf unit which folds flat. This is the frame only without the cover it can easily be modified for a single shelf or even more shelves depending on your needs. I think the pictures speak for...
