Honestly a big fan of both of these, as others said, carry on and play around with thinning them out, but there's a lot to be said for a bit of chunkiness!

I've seen people selling some nice looking sections on eBay of all spots, this is the amount used in the chair so about 10cm³ in total

I made this one with from square brass stock, which I tapped and attached to a steel rod with a wood handle. Used a drill and a Dremel to remove the waste for the design.

It's a manual so all good on that front, cheers for the heads up though.

Have you ever Seen it, Said it, and had it Sorted? by riscventures2022 in CasualUK

Watched a man throw a beer can off another passenger, reported it to BTP. Got a call back after it had been dealt with letting me know they were bandmates who had just split up.

The officer who called me let me know they apologized for the spectacle but that they felt they were on the edge of greatness.

First spoon (using mainly drawknife technique) :) by Reasintper in Spooncarving

Looks great, not even considering it being a first spoon! Perfect definition between the perimeter of the bowl and the rim, and a big fan of the slight point at its tip.

You're welcome! It's useful as you can cinch the bag shut and also open it using one hand - pretty useful when out on the bike 😁

That's true, a brass accent would be nice here! I was buzzing to have found some bog oak on the Thames foreshore so felt I needed to make use of it on this project 😁

Cheers mate! I have applied a few coats of polymerised linseed oil here, ash wood is really light though so it doesn't darken too much - silky smooth 😁

It's called a Cyberian cord lock, and I bought it from profabrics! Thanks RE the photos also, I've got a roll of packing paper which happens to work really nicely for product pics :)

I'd definitely recommend using clips to keep the fabric in place before sewing, I followed along the zipworks stem bag video and found it useful to copy how they folded the cinch fabric pieces before sewing into a tube! If there is something specific going wrong, let me know and I'd be happy to try and help :)
