Thanks, Bill. Yes, my father bestowed upon me the gift of knowing which side of the soldering iron to grab so being somewhat handy with tools makes that 'instantiating' possible and fulfilling. Oh, and I have a whole other workbench below all my tools that loves to accumulate bits. Horizontal

The bottle is there to occasionally hold a flower or two from the garden outside the shop. Mounted there so it doesn't take up space on the table top. Cheers. On Thursday, August 26, 2021 at 11:40:12 PM UTC+9 cycli...@gmail.com wrote: > I like it! What purpose does the glass bottle mounted

Copy away, Brendon! I believe Picasso said, 'All great artists steal' so there's definitely no shame to be had. Cheers,John On Thursday, August 26, 2021 at 9:15:27 PM UTC+9 brendonoid wrote: > This is such a great piece of DIY I plan to shamelessly copy! > > On Thursday, 26 August 2021 at

That is so nicely done John. You've created what looks like a therapeutic workspace too. I'm with you on the DIY Riv ethos which for me includes all things bicycle and much more. Thank you for sharing your handiwork. Best, Rich in ATL On Thursday, August 26, 2021 at 10:40:12 AM UTC-4

I like it! What purpose does the glass bottle mounted to the right leg of the table serve? Just curious. I like the spoke holders too. Quite an efficient set-up. On Thursday, August 26, 2021 at 5:37:33 AM UTC-7 Bill Lindsay wrote: > I like the jig. Just the act of instantiating a first

I like the jig. Just the act of instantiating a first revision out of one's head can be super fulfilling. I confess the aspect of the photo that makes me the most jealous is your tidy work surface. I need to do a little bit more tidying, and less accumulation of bits... add it to the

Hey Brendon, The arms with wheel braces are spring-loaded to open easily and hold the rim in place, and the rim runs on two tiny wheels on each brace. The hub support is 3 pieces of 1 x 4 laminated together and then sanded to a taper with a threaded rod onto which I slide the hub. As you can

Hey Eric, The hub support wasn't turned but run on a belt sander clamped upside down to a sawhorse (Wish I had a lathe!). The shelves are bombproof and have them all over my shop, and the woodstove works just fine though not in summer so I can rearrange my shop. The table with the jig and the

Nice jig you've got there. Is the center hub support turned? I see it tapers upward. I dig those Wandel-style shelves in the background. I've built a lot of them, some for our warehouse and others for hardwood storage. And I'm into shops so I'm looking at everything — looks like the wood
