I like a few others from the dark side havent posted much for a good while, but as there seems to be a change in attitude recently, mainly due to some excellent Mod'ing by leoN, i thought i'd bore you all with some building work. Ok, not much woodwork (yet), but maybe of interest to some- For...

I recently made a table and benches for my gallery, i thought i would share how i made them. The table and bench frames are made from figured Beech, with rustic European Oak tops. Ok- The legs were planed all round and then cut into octagonal section on the table saw. Then time for Jointing...

Hello folks. I finished this job yesterday. It's taken about 15 days including making the doors. The client wanted an Oak Shaker style door with an element of detail, after a few trial pieces this was the end result- I've got to go back on Monday to fit the missing handles, i'll try...

I'm after a woodworking adze if anyone has one they wish to sell. Ideally i'd like 2- a large long handled one and a small one. I need the scooped head variety rather than the straight headed one though. Thanks.

An appropriate topic on the forum recently! Does anyone listen to Fighting Talk- -the Saturday morning show. I've tried to catch it when i can for the past couple of years. It never fails to leave me laughing. Very funny.

Hello folks. All items are in Leeds and for collection only. I have for sale my trusty (240v) Startrite 352 bandsaw- £340 I've had her for about 7 years. I only got my workshop back together last year and since then it has had regular use. There is loads of info on the net about these...

I'm currently building an Oak conservatory for a client, the side facing the boundary will be a Oak framed wall with rendered infill panel's. This isn't something i have done before and wondered if anyone had some construction advice and material specification they could share with me? Thanks

Hello. I was commisioned to make a cabinet to hold a clients CD collection and for his stereo to sit on. They chose ripple Sycamore with AB Walnut for the details- Sorry the photos (as usual) aren't the best. The proportions are slightly wrong- The drawers are too big but designed to...

Hi, I've been asked to try and get a red wine stain out of a piece of Oak furniture- Any suggestions? Thanks.

I'm just in the finishing stages of a TV Cabinet, it's in a very similar style to the 'Alter' piece i recently posted. Anway when cutting the solid Oak top to size i found this- Doh! I had carefully set out the dominos so they were 75mm in from the ends of the finished dimension, unfortunatly...

I got commisioned a good while ago to make a rustic coffee table from an old Oak beam. It was to be quite rustic with a crisp carved bowl in the centre as a bit if contrast. Anyway first time around i'd carved the bowl and found a big hole hidden in the middle. So i started again and made them...

I got this commision a couple of months ago- To design and build an Oak drinks cabinet/sideboard. They have an existing one, which is made in a nasty and tatty, cheap pine, however it is much used and affectionately called 'the Alter' by my clients. They love Oak furniture, and paticularly...

I started this today, just a quick job for a local. The brief was- "Design me a nice 'different' shelf unit to go there"- I decided to make 2. I designed this- It's about 600mm sq and 150mm deep. Full size drawing- Oak prepared, sanded, cut to length and dominoed ( 8) rob). It was a...
