Some old scraps of wood

[Greigster]

I have a large quantity of 1 inch solid oak floorboards left over from when we renovated a cottage in Cambridgeshire and they have travelled with me whenever I have moved house, cos I hate throwing things away.

So armed with an old penknife, a blunt chisel and a lump hammer along with a large box of drawing pins, I decided to have a go at knocking up a Mod stand and with the help of some 510 inserts provided by "Our Mev", here is what I have ended up with:-

I considered messing with the power tools myself ..... then I remembered how it normally turns out and didn't

That is a very nice piece Greigster, am a bit jealous now.

It's very similar to something I was planning but you seem to have forgotten the double cuts, blade burns and chisel marks

Well done pal, it's a cracker

Very nice greigster, That’s just what I've been looking for, on the internet for weeks now… but on a smaller scale.

I was looking at this last night, to see if I could do something with that.

Well, it must be good if our dear Super-Shiny likes it!!
I must admit that if I was able to, I would love something like this for my mods, batteries etc., but that way my OH would be able to see exactly what I have bought over the last nearly year, and that might not go down too well!!
Great bit of craftmanship, Greigster, I'm always jealous of good work like this - I would agree with Raid about the mistakes that would be apparent for all to see if I attempted something like this myself!

Greigster that is one fine stand you have made.

Time to use up the rest of the wood on more stands for other people I think

It took me longer to align the batteries than it did to make the stand........didnt want Rommers nagging me.
