Here's something new.  A handmade shift knob made from Orgeon Myrtlewood.  I finished it a couple of weeks ago but I haven't had the chance to take any photos of it until now.  There are a few blemishes in it but this was my first try and I think it turned out okay.  I'll have to see how it holds up.  Maybe there will be more to come (I have a bunch of hardwood blanks from my grandfather).  I'm also thinking about making some hardwood spinning tops, just for fun.

Bunsincunsin, you really show a lot of craftmanship in your work, which is becoming more and more rare. Keep up the rad work!

Hey, thanks a lot.  I really appreciate the compliments.  There will be more fun projects to come for sure.

For me, besides riding/using the things I've made, making things by hand is probably the most enjoyment I get out of anything.  I have no clue what I want to do with my life or what type of career I would like.  But, the more I hand-make things the more I lean towards a craft like woodworking or metalworking (handmade things specifically).

I'm looking into brazing a new frame for the girlfriend here soon, so I'll through pictures when it's done!

Keep me posted on this and be sure to document the progress!  Have you made a frame before?

I never got around to making a longboard last winter. Think you can give me a hand this winter?

Sure, just let me know.

Hopefully I will get around to making an actual press this winter.  One that adds concave along with camber (right now my boards just have camber).

But I doubt he built it all by himself

What do you mean?

Thanks!

Sweet!  But, I'm sure there are others out there with some nice handmade stuff too.
