Re: Let's see your homemade crafts!

There are some immensely talented people out there.

As on poster said earlier, I also often just make stuff because I need or want it, other times, it is just because people say I cannot etc.....

I will post the build thread links on here, so you can click on the link and see the whole build. Some are extensive threads, and all are there as a guide for anyone else not to make the same mistakes I did, or to learn from or get inspired by the thread.

My background is a few years in spec forces in the military, followed by 8 years nursing (general, midwifery, psychiatry and then Occupational health and audiometry training) followed by the last 23 years as a Pharmacieutical representative.

And as things are now with my C10.



I do a bit of random woodwork, turning etc

My wife is an avid (MAD) collector of smoking pipes, so I end up making display pipe racks like these.





There are loads of other things I do, and the latest is a Birthday present for Nicola my wife that I finished last night, carved a Celtic Cross from a cinder block.

I have made knives over the years, but never anything but functional tools, one day I hope to make some artistic knives with hollow ground blades etc..
