Honestly, where does the time go? It Doesn't seem like its been so long since my last update. That's babies, work and college for you! Anywho, updates. I have managed to that 80/20 point in the project. The little finishing bits seem to be taking me some time to get done. The original panels...

Thanks thomvic. Its my first time working with ash. Usually use oak. Hope it goes well. The floor is ABW, Its been down about a year now but i've neglected to re-apply a finish so its a little bit dull now.

Hello all, Just took delivery of this: On the left of the long sections in this last picture is some AWO - 1x8 boards - for a tv cabinate, the rest is Ash for a cot. Top left is 1x3 Ash cut to length (plus allowance for split ends!) This is for spindles. I am making a cot for the...

Amazing. I have a lot to learn! Thank you Jonny for the detail.

amazing, simply stunning. how did you make the curved oak frame sections? are they cut on a band saw from thick sections or are they steam bent?

aagh, the delights of garforth squash club!

Hi Billw, Im from Leeds too, Garforth - are you anywhere near? (Although I now live in Hull) This is probably no good to you, but i'll put it out anyway. I have a field in N Lincs that I would happily rent out for very little, in fact I would even consider renting if gratis just so there is...

this may sound like a silly question, but does it (or a small off cut) float in water?

ive always thought cherry and maple go lovely together, a little on the light side but nice all the same. cherry and walnut is also suited and gives a darker alternative - but would show a lot of figure, maybe too much to contrast with your existing furniture. nice design on the bed btw.

ta rich, much appreciated.

Your right Dave,having now googled the word myself I can see some obscure things on their under caninate! I was going to use this as a cabinet :lol: for keeping the plates and glasses tidy. It will sit at the bottom of our kitchen away from the steamy end. Rob, this is just a little...

oddsocks, intentionally or otherwise you have picked up on my improper use of the word cabinate :oops: I do of course mean cabinet - i'll never live this one down! My choice of timbers was purely experimental. I have a kitchen to do sometime next year so thought I would try a test project...

adzeman, Have you considered polycarb? 32mm sheets will give you strength over a long span and some insulation. My workshed has a poly roof and the amount of light is huge as the sheets are clear. To be honest its a bit too warm in the shed when the suns been up all day! Scroll down on this...

Had a little time tonight to cut 2 of the panels for the cabinate. Cut to size on the ts - but I obviously put a biscuit in just a little too close to the saw line, measure twice, measure twice, measure twice damn it. Offered the panels and they are nice and tight. I intend on routering the...

Cheers Olly And yes, I do intend on putting a chamfer around the top of the legs but I also want to put the same chamfer all around the beech top. My thinking being that the eye will natually follow this 'shadow gap' all along the outside edge of the top. This may detract from the not so neat...

Thanks ib. You're not wrong, ive already taken about 5mm off the underside and still the sticker mark is visable. luckily the piece i got was from the top so only have 2 marks to remove!

Hello all. I hope you like this little project. Its the first one in my new workshed and on my new workbench (see bench build here: https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/view ... 2&start=15 ) I picked up a nice piece of straight cut steamed beach still with wane. Lots of planing to do by hand...
