- Wooden fruit bowl without a lathe
-
We used to have lovely ceramic fruit bowl which sat beneath a banana hanger in our kitchen. Then one of cats felt the need to run across the space where it was and - CRASH! It was broken. Rather than buy a new one, I decided to make a replacement. The design changed a few times between this decision and starting to make it but in the end I settled on a basket octagon design using 9mm wooden dowels and reclaimed wood.
- Footstool upcycled from pallet
-
This was one of the projects that started my resurgence in woodworking. I had an old pallet sitting in my garden and the timber really interested me. It was too good to burn, in too good a condition and the grain was unusual. At the same time we needed a new footstool as our latest beanbag one had, like its predecessors, split. So I had a pallet and an Idea!
- Dog feeding station
-
We adopted a new dog, Isla, who is a large cross-breed. Probably German Shepherd and Rottweiler but with others thrown in as well. As such I wasn't happy with her having to eat her food out of a bowl on the floor so I decided to use some scrap/repurposed wood to build her a raised feeding station.
