That is impressive 👏

Lovely longcase clock.
A friend of mine made a complete regency style dining table, chairs and sideboard from mahogany packing cases collected from the London docks by his father who worked there. He was a skilled cabinet maker and the finished items looked superb.😉

Wow! Beautiful job, even though not a boat or ship! 👍😉😁

Me too. At one of the places I worked someone ordered a large piece of equipment that came in a large wooden crate. I took the crate home, and this is what I made out of it

Good for you.
In my case, I work for a mayor display company and after every trade show we do, our clients leave things behind.
Every day I walk around the shop, stop and look at one item and pause to figure out 🙄 how could I integrate it on one of my models.
😎

Good for you. I take great pride in making things from what I’ve got on hand.

Anybody can buy parts, it’s ok with me, but my hobby is building model ships. I want to make all of it. All of my boats contain all kinds of odd household items.

Excellent job, I like the thinking 🤔

Wez, if it was me I'd drill with a 1.2mm drill and use some 18swg pins to hold to roof.
Cheers Colin.

Wes:
Great idea.
We have so many things around the house that with a little imagination we can make it work.
I remember actually cutting some of my wife’s hair to use them as antennae for a tiny 1/700 war vessel.
The best part was that she let me cut it off.
😎

Thanks colinH taking me longer to cut and sand out the wooden brackets nearly finished 12 down 8 ends left to do then glue in place for now

That's true modelling, make use of what you have.
Well done shipmate, cheers Colin.

Very good use of household items, Martin555 would be proud 🥲 RR

Flaxbybuck they were too long lol we’re getting some more well will have too now lol Needs Must

Well done for utilising cast off implements for your model boating.. I just hope you'll not be barbequeing any time soon ! 😉
