Hi Rick, Thanks for posting this. I would really like to make a cot and the web seems quite short on good plans. Your cot is great and by far the nicest I've seen. If I can get close to this I will be really pleased. I'm just building up the workshop and I've only worked with mdf with bits of...

Where did you get your tulip wood? Looks like the Ridgeons has limited par white oak in the same size so I might see how much more it is. I've been thinking I could use 18mm for the sides and pack where they meet to be just less than the face frame. For the double thick shelves, there is only...

Thanks for the replies. Glad to know I'm not miles off. I'll check the chimney for plumb, I can see why this would be a problem. Bringing it further out and wrapping the face frame would solve that but cause more problems. Yes, the battens are just 22 for planning, in reality they will vary...

I'm just about to start on my first project of several and I'm trying to get some advise before I start and ruin a load of materials. We are renovating a house and there are several alcoves which need built in storage. Most are going to be cupboards to hide all of our stuff but one is going to...

I am looking for something similar as I don't really have the space for table saws, router tables etc. Plus, I don't know what I'm doing. You might like this place, good for recycled wood, Cambridge woodworks
