I lose the will to work at all when I see things like that!

 

[Harbo]

I don't think that will be very cheap?
Lovely work.

Not furniture, but art.
I am not being complimentary - it's bloody ridiculous. Very clever, but not very functional.

I think it's hideous, however well made it might be.

(But surely they would have needed a compass plane in there somewhere...)

I see a compass plane and block plane in the "made with passion" section, so he uses some at least!

Anyone else feel dizzy looking at that dresser? It's like something out of Alice in Wonderland!

Hey...anyone coming home sozzled after a night out would see it all straight! Brilliant!!! :mrgreen:

I love the "ordinary" one with the AGA or is it Raeburn...I never can tell...now that is fine work indeed...

Thanks BB....appreciated those design tips!

Every time I try to make something, it ends up looking like that! :shock:

Maybe I should reverse the process? :mrgreen:

I should think there was quite a lot of flat planing in that - the fronts are (mostly) flat and all the back boards.

It's kind of how my timber frames have turned out where I had to fit the only pieces of wood I had that would reach - they don't always arrive at a place of symmetrical jointment where they would if I had the luxury of cutting them out of something bigger/straighter.

I like it overall except the wine rack seems over done in the mad dpt. No self respecting hobbit would put his vino in such jeopardy.

I think there's quite a lot of skilled work in that. Curves always add complexity (see female of species for details), and fitting a curved door in a curved frame must be a nightmare. The carving looks neatly done, too.

Taste is subjective - it would be a boring world if we all had the same thing. That said, it's not to my taste - but maybe I'm just boring?

 

[speeder1987]

I feel both intrigued and revolted, can't say its to my taste, I think it would drive me barmey having to look at it all day, let alone fit stuff in it properly. However I can't help but marvel at the workmanship

Cheers

i absolutely love it. As somebody else said, very Alice in Wonderland.

Agreed...ghastly :-& - Rob

Impressive, intricate, intensive in time consumption......but I couldn't live with it. It's just too visually unsettling. Reminds me of LSD-inspired 'art' works.....
