Current projects: what are you building, fixing, or making right now?

Show your work thread. Not finished results but current state. The project that is half done on the workbench or in the garden. The one you have been meaning to start and finally have. The thing you finished last weekend that you are quietly proud of.

Photos welcome but not required. Brief description of what it is and where you are with it.

[Foundry20]

Building a raised vegetable bed from reclaimed timber. Found some old floorboards being thrown out by a neighbour and they are being repurposed. Halfway through the construction. The soil preparation is going to be the time-consuming part.

Rewiring a lamp that belonged to my grandmother. Not complicated electrically but I wanted to do it properly rather than use a cheap conversion kit. Working through it slowly because the original hardware is worth preserving.

[WanderingSentinel]

A garden path from reclaimed bricks. About a third done. The levelling and bedding part is more time-consuming than I expected but the result so far looks exactly how I wanted it to.

[RusticDaemon]

Building a standing desk from scratch. Had the top cut from a solid oak blank. The frame is steel angle that I am welding. First welding project of any real size. Intimidating but going well.

[Rocket67]

Repainting the kitchen. I know this sounds ordinary but I have been living with a colour I hate for three years and I finally committed to changing it. Currently in the sanding and priming stage which is the part nobody tells you takes longer than the painting.

[Beth]

A mechanical keyboard build from scratch. Custom PCB, specific switch type, hand-wiring several non-standard keys. Started as a learning exercise and has become a slightly obsessive project.

[IronFist56]

Insulating the loft. Not glamorous but the heat loss calculation I did suggested it would pay for the materials in about two winters. The kind of project where you do it once, do it properly, and then do not think about it again.

[MondayMoan]

Small electronics project: automating the lights in my shed with a motion sensor and timer using an Arduino. The scope has grown several times since I started. This is always how it goes.
