Hi JFC
I have a question about your unit.
How much paint did you use as it looks like I will be getting the two buildt in units to make :) ( work has been a little slow :( )
Hopefully I am can get as good a finish as you [-o< 8-[ :)
 
Hi Colin , 2.5 L of MDF Primer and ill be buying the same size tin for the top coat . £50 in paint to a finish coat id say , but ive also sprayed a radiator cover and a few of my own kitchen units while i had the gun out . Im no expert on spraying but your welcome to come over when im spraying them if your able too .
 
You must have read my mind ( not that there is much in there at the moment :roll: ) and as you are helpping me, I can bring some logs with me for turning.
I have some Sycamore and some Horthorn, both are nice to turn if you want some tips.
Also did you say that you have not done much carving as I thing you could do( I will bring my carving tools if you are up for it too).
How about tomorrow if you are not to busy 8-[ :)
 
Fitted the unit today \:D/
It seems from the pic that my spraying isnt very good but hey ive just started and it doesnt look so patchy to the naked eye :whistle:

looks good jason, and i think photographing painted furniture is an art in itself.

i guess the only thing one could say is the angle you photographed from
shows that the gaps are not all the same, but hey, it looks even better
fitted, and i look forward to the story of your travels up and down the
stairs to finally fit it.

well done mate.

Nice job, bet you had fun lifting the top in :x It is in two pieces I take it.
I work on my own and fitting MDF pieces can take some straining!
Keep up the good work.
 
The gaps are not the same ???? Hope you dont think i left it like that :lol:
 
jason i knew you were just testing me :lol: :lol: :lol:
actually what i said was the photo made it look like
you had left the gaps. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

paul :wink:
 
Hi Jason
I am glad to see he is back from holiday :roll:
Very nice =D> , nice to see it where it should be.
 
I hadn't realised that it was to be fitted into an alcove like that. Makes it even more impressive.
