So I basically spend most of my time making things out of wood and vinyl, sadly I can't do as much as I used to, but the vinyl side is really relaxing for me and helps with my mental health. I make car stickers, signs, t-shirts....

Looks great @Tmb79 Is the vinyl just stick and peel or is it heat pressed on?Hannah - She / Her

@Hannah_Scope it's just peel and go, I have some htp that I want to use to make a t-shirt for a friends son's birthday, but currently don't have an iron.... Don't actually think I have ever owned one lol. So need one of those. I make and sell my work but don't get many people interested, however the planters were super popular yet a struggle to make. Check me out on Instagram; Tmbwoodcrafts and please give me a follow. (Cheeky plug there...)

Wow, not a fan of ironing then! Don't blame you
I've seen those handheld presses for heat transfers too, but think an iron wouldn't definitely be more cost effective.Hannah - She / Her

Nice planters @Tmb79 ... I especially like the square ones, you've given me an idea Nice mitreing
Do you use a timber preservative ? I use Barretine clear timber preservative on my garden stuff, seems to last the test of time compared to non-treated pallets, which only last about 3 years in wettest Wales
Like you I can't do what I used to, especially things like sawing by hand, my chop saw is invaluable now.
This was made from pallet wood
With LED's

@WelshBlue the wood I use has already been treated so saves me loads of time and money, I struggle to use most of my power tools now as I end up with really bad shaking hands .
Thanks for your compliments I did everything by hand, so really impressed with how they turned out, the same customer wants me to make them a gate and an archway as well so hopefully I'll be ok to make that as well. Just takes ages as I can't stand up for as long as I used to 😭.
Love your bed tho, looks amazing -
@Hannah_Scope I'm a man I don't iron anything, but then I hardly leave the house so don't need to lol.

@WelshBlue love the head board
-
@Sandy_123 ... thanks It was a real labour of love. All proper old fashioned joints
... but I've just seen the bubble in the lining paper. Arghhh can't live with that now I've seen it
@Tmb79 ... I can see it's treated timber now, must make each planter quite expensive ?
I grudge buying timber now, extortionate prices - I remember what I used to get per tree (felling and snedding) or per tonne on the roadside ... cut and stacked - you wouldn't believe the mark up on a 24 tonne lorry load :* -
I began making cards - trouble is even with a trimmer I cannot make a straight line and my cards tend to be rather 'wonky'!
-
Hi Tmb79 I do love your planters - Its therapeutic hammering nails into a piece of wood - I've tried it and made a small platform out of a pallet; but what you can do is really lovely and the Notice is great; keep going as long as you can.
