My father was a boat builder and that was the sort of thing he did when his real work was slow. I can do it but not with the speed or immense skill he had. Problem here is real seasoned timber is prohibitively expensive for any sort of home projects. Funnily enough my father in law was also a boat builder and a very clever man, I have a good friend now who still does it. I'll find some pictures of his stuff. I think he is a genius. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 This is what my mate Louis does for a living, 32' Cornish Pilot Gig This is his latest commission that is bound for Ireland. He did tell me what it is but in one ear out the other. A work of art just the same. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 During and after install of some barn doors. Panels and frame made from alder (neither soft nor hardwood - kinda in the middle) and handles made from scrap rebar I had in the shop. I made the slide as well - it kinda looks like a piece of 1/4" X2" steel because it is ... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesmoDog Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I don't do much in the larger scale type stuff. I've made a couple decks I suppose but mostly it's smaller things. Back when I played around with guitars I made a few things for one forum's annual "build challenge" The first one was a "Travel Tele" which was a copy of something available commercially, but this was cheaper. 24" scale, headless. Ended up stripped for parts a year or two later. http://teamyikes.com/TravelTele/build_3922c_l.jpg After that was a small scale Telecaster. The body for it was made out of wood from a tree my dad planted when I was a kid. It came down in a storm a little after he died and I ended up with a couple logs from it. They weren't big enough to make it full sized so it's something like 7/8 scale? 3/4? I forget. It's elm, which is a bitch to work with. I have more of it but will eventually burn it rahter than build anything from it. The neck is made out of scraps I got from his shop when we cleaned it out. Fingerboard comes from a stash of boards he had from when he built banjos. http://teamyikes.com/Tele2012/tele_5385_l.jpg http://teamyikes.com/Tele2012/tele_5346_l.jpg Then a Telecaster Uke. It was built during a "polar vortex" storm here in Michigan, basically a lot of cold snowy weather, so I had planned on going with a winter theme instread of the typical tropical theme. It has "snowflake" fret markers and obviously a polar bear cub on it, but a lot of th epallned graphics never happened. The was going to be an igloo with a palm tree sticking out of it but there's only so much space on a tenor sized uke. That'd be Sophia, my favorite dog ever, checking it out. http://teamyikes.com/TenorTele/tenor_8045_l.jpg http://teamyikes.com/TenorTele/tenor_8052_l.jpg http://teamyikes.com/TenorTele/tenor_8071_l.jpg Next to a standard sized Telecaster http://teamyikes.com/TenorTele/tenor_8084_l.jpg I've also made a couple tube amps. First one was a 5 watt Champ clone. I don't use it often and last week went to play around with it but was greeted with silence. Well, a hum really because tube amp. But no volume. Then I started to smell the scent of tube amp death so I unplugged it. It's on now my bench awaiting triage. http://teamyikes.com/Amp/IMG_6093_l.jpg http://teamyikes.com/Amp/amp_5411_l.jpg http://teamyikes.com/Amp/amp_4908_l.jpg After that came a FireFly tube amp. Around 0.5 watts I think? It sat around half finished for a LONG time, so I decided to just slam it together with whatever I had around. Here's what I ended up with. It's rough, but it's supposed to be! Yes it's done. Yes, the handle is a spark plug wire from a flathead Ford V8 I had sitting around. http://teamyikes.com/Firefly/Amp_5279.jpg http://teamyikes.com/Firefly/Amp_5300.jpg Other than that I'm really good at making messes. EDIT: Fack me, I keep forgetting this site doesn't allow simple [img] tags. I may or may not deal with it later... EDIT AGAIN: They're links now. I'm not downloading all of the photos just to re-attach them here. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not lying. I ordered all the lumber for a deck, but there was some delay in getting it delivered. For whatever reason I then cancelled the order. They refunded my credit card. I left for a business trip and when I came back, there was a bunch of lumber in my lawn. I called the place and told them that the order had been cancelled. They said they'd come pick it up. But they never did. I called again. It was killing the grass so I moved it into the garage. Finally I decided screw this and built the deck just to get the stuff out of my garage. Some of the stuff they delivered was all warped and twisted so I DID go buy replacements for that. And then might have returned the twisted stuff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
