Random stuff you have made

Built a kayak mover yesterday. Mine weighs 78 lbs. it’s bulky to just pick up and move. Had the front tires and axles from an old sears lawn tractor in the loft knowing they would be built for something.
Have about 10 hours in it for zero dollars.
I could have bought one on Amazon that was premade for $38 but what fun is that?
Makes it super easy to move around the shop, load/unload from the pickup.

Against common recommendations, I actually used my planer. I took exceptionally light passes, but still ended up having to cut off the ends because of chip out. But it was only about a quarter of an inch, so it wasn't a big deal.

Glue sacrificial wood (like pine or scrap) to the edges and saw it off when finished.

Nice job. I'm jealous of your lathe!

This is one of my favorite threads. Always something new. Some of you guys are quite talented.

Yeah, I thought about that about 1.53 seconds after I stuck it in the planer. [emoji38] [emoji38]

One of the few good things about this whole beer virus bs is that I've had a "little" extra time on my hands and I've had a chance to make myself a new cutting board.

I didn't even need to add washers under the feet on this one too keep it from rocking. [emoji38]

Very nice. What did you coat it with?

Just a small deck in the back my wife and I are throwing together. Should wrap it up tomorrow.

About 5 coats of plain food grade mineral oil. Nothing fancy needed. I coated it until the oil started pooling and then wiped off the excess.

Quote: Got the planer finished up. Well except for the new elevation handle that's broke. Still gotta get that but it's finished
Glad you got it Dennis, you have room in the shop and got it working. I don't have so much room in the garage with all the mowers, table saw and junk.

I finished up a set of car ramps for my lowered Fiat 500 Sport. The incline sections are removable from the supports.
