Things I've Made
It's been a while since I've posted about anything I've made, so here's the latest two:
First we have a display stand for the WWII-era bayonet I found buried at work. The thing's in terrible condition, but I still wanted to show it off, so I built this little rack complete with my first (moderately successful) attempt at a dovetail.
Now that I'm serious about shaving with good tools, I needed a place to put those tools. I put this together with some bits of oak and brass rod that I bent into shape myself. It's stubborn, even at just 1/8", and snapped a couple times when I tried to make tight bends. It looks damn fine in the bathroom, though.
