Not the most interesting, or by far the most complex project anyone has done, but it is practical…
A shelf to go above my coffee machine to hold my expresso mugs…
Stained with black metal paint.
A touch probe function in CM would have really helped… ;D

Great project, and you get extra kudos as I’m an espresso guy too… indeed, touch-probing in the CM workflow (and number pad jogging) would be glorious.

It says “Coffee” you can’t get any better than that!
Good job! Looks great, that’s the important part…

Why thank you
It also hasn’t fallen off the wall yet
I’m slowly going through my offcut pile making useful ‘round the house’ things…

Some of my most simplest projects have been to solve a problem. They have been the most gratifying.
My RV has exhaust fans in the bathrooms that you cannot reach without a step stool. As all RV’ers know space is a commodity. So I made these pieces to screw on to a dowel rod to reach and open the vent on the roof and flip the switch on the fan to turn it on. The black knob will screw back into the crank shaft of the exhaust fan.

Necessity is mother of invention My creative skills are far less than what I’d like, so yeah…problem solving is more in tune with what I make too.
