Thought I would say hello.
Did advanced Cab. making course and dip HE in Furniture design about 15 years ago. Wanted to set up a business but met a lady who was earning a decent wage so I stayed at home to bring up the kids.
Kept my hand in a bit though and have made the odd thing over the years. Just getting back into it now a couple of days a week. (now I have a roof, doors and windows in my workshop!)
I am no expert and am better at the machining than the hand work,I am lucky enough to have few old Sedgewick machines, although I don't mind cutting a few dovetails now and again by hand(don't look too close).
The current project is a kitchen made from ash. The place down the road kiln dries the ash used for Morgan cars and sells on the waste as firewood. I managed to buy a load of it in usable lengths for a kitchen so have been making up panels over the winter for doors, drawers, and a free standing unit.
I'm sending the wife and kids away for a couple of days at Easter so I can get the plumbing done and the sink units fitted.I'll post some pictures once its done.
