[hyvel]

I thought I better start a thread and show you all the things I've built. Why? I just want to encourage all the beginners to say: "I can do bettar than that" and not feel intimidated by all the very beautiful things other people has shown here. :D
Sawdustmaking is fun!

Thank you.
A hint, if you make a writing desk like that, make it a with few degrees lower inclination, it will greatly help keeping things PERFECTLY still.

Very Cool. I like the little house with insulation and wired for lights.

Hyvel,

Thanks for posting those. That catapult is neat and I really like the house...especially the slate roof.

Hyvel,
That wagon is interesting. I think my son will make one. Looks like a fun object to have around. Thanks for the good ideas.

Thanks for sharing your works with us Hyvel. Very nice work. Nobody else commented on your writing desk, but I really like it! Very functional and usefull. And I happen to like Pine as well.

Keep us informed on your projects!

Very nice work!
What language is your website written in? I'll run it through http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr and translate it.

That is some variety of unique projects. Very creative. The writing desk is done with a nice finish and proportions. Keep posting pictures, do some progress ones.

If you get it to roll, please tell me how you did it. The problem seems to be friction.
I think you should place the axis so that one wheel should touch the top of the "road" and the other should touch the lowest part of the road.
The "road" is almost a circle .

It's written in swedish so it might be a problem.
But I'll answer any qyestion. The text is just some minor comments, like "here the painter has missed a lot on the roof", "I switched clay halfway through the roof, that's why it looks the way it does".
Not much to read.

Thanks.
Well pine is all I have, except some small pieces of maple and birch and right now I use hazel for a game. But I do like pine to. It's really nice.

I'd like to get some beech and cherry but I think it's too expensive if I'm not sure what to build. I've found cherry for $5300 per cubic meter,
Ebony is also something on my wishlist, but I fear the price of it when I find it.

[bwuest]

Your right, Babelfish doesn't translate Swedish to English. I speak Spanish and Chinese for the US Army and am always interested in other languages. I thought it looked like Swedish but wasn't sure.

>for $5300 per cubic meter,

WOW! I had to look up what cubic meters is in Board Feet (its about 424 BF/cubic meter). I paid the equivalent of about $2,544.00 per cubic meter for the Cherry I bought a few months ago. I only bought 21 Board Feet for about $125.00 and I thought that was pretty expensive, but it is less than half what it would cost you.

The last Pine I bought would come out to about $517.00 per cubic meter. Alder is only a little more expensive than Pine.

I cannot afford Ebony. Period.

And now I have saved $70 on a "paper cuter".
It was a quick build. 10x10 mm Alu bar is used for the guiding.

Hyvel,

I'm *very* interested in how you got those lines made on the go board. My 10 year old wants one badly, and I've thought of about six ways to do it, none of them great. How'd you do that?

Thanks,

Bill

[hyvel]

I took a ruler, clamped it to the board (clamps are vital!), with a pen I draw the lines.
Then I moved the ruler a little, and draw a new line and then moved back and drew lines between the two lines to "fill" the gap. It was then easy to adjust the pen to fill the entire space between the lines.

The pen must not spread its "ink" to the surroundings. Perhaps the wood is of importance also.

One other idea is to make a cut in a piece of wood and then draw in the gap, but then you have the problem of reaching the surface with the pen, perhaps if the cuts are made with an angle? Perhaps use a V-shaped router?
Anyway, remember to clamp it firmly. You DO NOT want it to move during drawing.
I'm looking forward to see your result.

By the way, what are your six ways?

When did you say your papercutter hits the market? Not only does it look really cool, it probably works like a champ. It would look at home in a designers office, architect, or mine.

No need to wait, just send me enough money and I'll send you a papercutter ;-)
It doesn't work perfectly. It takes to much time to figure out where the cut will be made. A more transparentone would be much better.
