formariz 11,988 #32 Posted January 1, 2020 I have built many odd things in my life but I think to most this one will be the oddest and most unusual. Its a typical Portuguese oxen yoke. I am probably the last one in many years that has built one of these, and it is probably the one I am most proud of. 3 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oilwell1415 563 #35 Posted January 1, 2020 I don’t have any pics of it, but I made a 1/2” cube inside a 1” cube inside a 1.75” cube inside a 2.75” cube inside a 4” cube out of a chick of 4” aluminum square bar. All of the cubes float freely inside the next larger one, but none of them come out. I don’t get to use the mill very much, so once in a while I do a project just to stay sharp. This was one of those. I also make these rockers. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SylvanLakeWH 25,832 #40 Posted January 10, 2020 My 21 year old son built this snow making gun when he was about 10... Cost about $20 at Home Depot for a few parts...Cool thing is, it actually works!!! Hose on one side, compressor on the other, adjust flow of air to water ratio based on air temperature and tada!!! Snow... By the way, he’s now in his third year at University of Utah getting a Mechanical Engineering degree... Still have it in the garage... 5 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliver2-44 9,828 #48 Posted January 11, 2020 I built this water feature using an old Milk Can. 30 years ago a friend and I built 2 wooden rocking horses. This one is 2" thick walnut with inlaid cherry for the reins and saddle. His was 2" cherry with walnut inlaid reins and saddle. We didn't own a band saw and did all the cutting (slowly) on a craftsman table top scroll saw. We made lots of router jigs to fabricate parts. The mane and tail are Zebra Wood. After going through my three sons, It just so happens its in the shop this week getting a threaded insert in a leg replaced. I need to get a small piece of Zebrawood to re-carve the missing front piece of the mane. This morning I buffed it off and will apply another coat of Tung Oil, so the 3 grandsons can have fun on it. Some say it's too nice to let the kids ride it hard, but I get a lot of happiness seeing the kids having a good time. I'm hoping it can make it too the great grand kids. Our boathouse roof was too low for a Wakeboard boat tower. After a few hours of prep, it was raised in about 10 minutes with 6 hi-lift jacks. My wife was so afraid it would fall, I'm kind of proud of pulling that one off! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

formariz 11,988 #50 Posted January 11, 2020 Not real odd for what it is but odd that one would go through the trouble of making one out of wood. Sometimes when I am bored I do stuff like this. Picked the nastiest scrap piece of walnut that I had and made a case for my I pad. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
