A miniture stool for my 4 year old Godson and Nephew!

I made this stool for my godson James,
who is also my nephew,
It is made from pine and finished with a clear varnish,
The tools i used for making this stool were the
table saw, bandsaw and router mostly for the rough work.
Then it is sanded down and finished by hand.




The name is engraved into the wood about 5mm deep and i could put any name on there for a personalised project. :)

A Glass Shelf Ornament with a Downlight!

Hi All,

Well Ive been quiet due to my pc packing up on me and it took a while to fix.. :(

Anyway this is one i designed myself and have
made in the last week or so, It has two glass
shelves and two solid shelves for the top and bottom,
Also i put in a nice blue downlight which shines
through the glass to the bottom, It would
be nice for displaying jewelry or other ornaments,
Its about a foot high and the bottom shelf is a foot
in diameter.

This is made from American Walnut, African Walnut, Beech and Glass.

I finished this with teak oil.

I made this using the bandsaw, Scroll saw, and Router mostly.

well i hope ya like this one. :)

Greenacres Bar Clock

I made these for two local bars for christmas gifts,

The first is Greenacres Bar and Lounge in Tenacre, Kilmore, Co. Wexford run by Noel and Noeleen Troy.





The second is The Hideout Bar in Tomhaggard (where i grew up) and is run by Stephen and Tush Lawlor.

Both Are great country pubs with pool and darts and plenty of sports, and very nice people, I recommend a visit to them if you ever visit Co. Wexford in Ireland.




And I hope that these clocks will not stop working at closing time.....!!!!! ha ha...
