    The thing that I'm proudest of in the workshop is this weird cupboard.The walls of the workshop are made from prefabricated PUF panels (polyurethane foam sandwiched between two thin corrugated sheets of steel, with W-profiled side edges that interlock with each other). Once you cut off an edge, it can no longer interlock, and is therefore effectively useless.We had some cut-off panels left over, and they form the sides of this cupboard. The material is infuriating to work with. Cutting it releases a cloud of foam particles, and all of the holding strength comes from the very thin sheet steel. (It's not really meant to carry any load, anyway, just to be screwed on to a welded steel framework to make walls.) But I managed to work within its limitations, and build something that carries a considerable weight in a very satisfying way.Thanks to extensive internal bracing, I can load up the cupboard without worrying (and it's held up all this weight for several months with no ill effects). I'm pleased that I was able to repurpose leftover material that was otherwise unusable.#diy #workshop #woodworking

    Called the bowl done today, after getting tired of the long cure times with Tried and True Varnish Oil and switching to Birchwood Casey TruOil gunstock finish on the outside. I think it came out looking pretty good. #WoodTurning #Resin

    I am on the hunt for people who make things. Physical things. Physical things in a workshop. Or at home. Or in a studio. Or outside. But they have to be physical things. And you make them. Handmade or with machines. I’d like to follow you and see what you make. Please can you boost this post so that I get some reach on this post. Many thanks. #maker #crafting #crafts #workshop #handmade #woodworking #metalwork #paper #fabric
