Requested project for the other half. Coat rack with shelf. Made from salvaged oak and up-cycled Victorian cast iron hooks (well thats what is said on Ebay). My first go using my new dowelling jig. Worked a treat.

Made this Stow-and-Go Sharpening Box based on the Bob Van Dyke Fine Woordworking project. Made from some salvaged Poplar book shelves and all done with hand tools, included resawing to made the dividers (I think I need a band saw!). First time with box mitres which fell apart on 3 of the...

Wow. That is impressive. Is it flat or contoured top. How long did it take you?

Second thing i've made since doing A`Level woodwork....in 1986, Hand tools only,
