I think you are on to something here. Saw online somewhere that thin veneers can be made by edge planing a board. The strip can then be glued and wrapped around the tenon to take up the extra space. Think this is what I’ll try.
In the US most woodturning/woodworking supply stores carry kits. In this case I took the guts from a Harbor Freight screwdriver, turned a new handle out of cherry, filling the cracks with colored epoxy, made a ferrule from a brass plumbing fitting, and put it all together. The handle is finished with Danish oil.
I’ve done this with great success on kitchen cabinet hinges. I didn’t drill them out, just broke off wooden toothpicks to match the depth of the hole, covered with wood glue, put them in the hole, then put the screw back in. Works amazingly well.
Thanks, that’s a great website and I’ve been referring to it! It certainly has the texture of ash. You may be right. The color just looks kind of red so that’s throwing me off a little.
I don’t think it’s elm. It is on the hard and brittle side of things. I measured density somewhere around 700kg/m^3. It is pretty open grained. The brown spots are streaks that go through the wood.
Y’all are as bad as Reddit. Yes I see it. No it’s not intentional.
Thanks! This is my second. The first was okay and this one was much better.

Thanks for replying. I’m curious how the screws hold up. In my experience I’ve only seen metal fasteners damage the joint even more as it flexes.
There doesn’t seem to be a straight forward way to set up a tv tuner.
I’m also dual wielding. I think the only thing really keeping me on plex is there doesn’t seem to be a straight forward way to set up a tv tuner.

Yes, quite handy.
I would say six in one. Two sizes cross, two sizes flat, and two sizes nut driver.
Thank you!

I have not made one but I’d be open to a commission if it was within my capabilities. I might need more to go off of than that one picture.

Another photo
Yes of course. I think the wood is a bit more red/pink than it shows in these photos.
Thanks for checking. I don’t think it’s juniper just because juniper is a softwood and this is definitely a hardwood.
