Jenga topple game lamp diy

I recently saw someone do this on YouTube, so I bought a Jenga from a local charity shop and got started.

Using super glue and wood glue I stuck a few of the pieces together for the bottom where the IKEA pre made lamp holder and cable will sit.
Bit by bit I put the lamp together cutting a few pieces and drilling to make room for the lamp.
I had to have a solid base with a couple of dowels fixed in upright and the 2nd part of the tower with corresponding holes for the dowels, this allows lamps to be replaced.

IKEA table made up with pallet wood

We had this cheap IKEA table and after seeing a few people on the internet make theirs more interesting to look at I thought I'd give it a go. Not much to lose as the tables are cheap and the pallet timber is free.

I cut the timber on my table saw.
Sanded it.
Glued it.
Took a couple back off after it didn't look right (a bit of a pain).
Glued and nailed an edge for finish, then stained and varnished.
I painted the legs with a grey Matt gloss paint then put the original shelf back.

Making Retro Sunderland badge from old wood and pallet wood

I decided to make a 3D wooden Retro SAFC sign that has a rustic feel and look.

So.....I printed out the Sunderland football club badge for reference then started cutting using hand tools.
Each strip is an individual piece of wood that is painted first then glued together to get a clean finish for the colours.
The boat was built up with pieces of timber cut and glued.
The ball was cut then I painted it with the help of a kids letter stencil.

Finished the SAFC 3d sign!
