I thought I'd open a new thread here because the "hobbies other than electronics" thread probably gets polluted by slow loading photographs
And to different subjects...
I took most of these while visiting my mother Sunday morning as it was still too early to start my project of the day (You really don't want to wake the neighbours at 7 am with a drop saw).
My wife was pleased (It took me about 8 hours to make, but she was doing a 12 hour shift, so I had time).
It's an old bookcase made from solid timber (that matches our piano) we picked up for $50, some pine, and 90mm water pipe. There is a lot of hidden woodwork in there. It locks together like one of those wooden puzzles. There's room on the lower shelf to hold another 26 bottles this way, but SHMBO wants to use it as a bookshelf.
I probably should stain the pine to match the rest of the bookcase, but do you think it will ever get disassembled again?
edit: I should add that 4 of the 6 poppy shots were taken at home with a cut flower (between chopping up water pipe).
