I made some doors late last year (post925463.html#p925463). The weather turned so the project was shelved as painting in my unheated garage workshop was a no no. All summer I was busy with other things, my wife's office refurb. and staircase refurb. Finally got round to attempting to finish the lobby-larder. Last weekend I fitted the hinges and trimmed the doors to fit the carcass, then during the week after work I

Monday: applied filler to the raw MDF edges
Tuesday: sanded the filler and the untreated edges
Wednesday: primed the MDF
Friday: sanded the un-filled edge and undercoated the whole lot

Saturday/Sunday: top coats

not sure there is much difference between the filled and not filled edges. We'll see once the paint has hardened

The last thing I made is actually the first thing that I made, and its thanks to this forum (and heaps of YouTube videos) that it was such a succes!

As I've said before, I'm new to this hobby and needed a place to practice my butchery, so it seemed obvious that I dive straight into the deep end and build a workshop......

Voila!

I'm happy with my first attempt, even more importantly, SWMBO is impressed enough to ask me to build a log cabin for the kids next year!

Pocket watch stand and 40 year calendar. Made from reclaimed mahogany. I'm no photographer, so excuse pic. The line round inside circumference of watch recess is brass inlay, not a mistake LOL. As i said pic is rubbish. Yes the watch is a bit close to edge, beginners mitake as i did cut-out before bevel edge...DOH

A couple of Welsh Stick Chairs after John Brown.

They have taken most of the summer but kept me out of mischief.

Nothing major but the other half was nagging for one!

Made from a big slab of Burr Elm and finished in food safe oil and a thin coat of bees wax.

That's a lovely little piece, well matched to the blade, I think.

Thanks Keith. If they last 'til I don't need them anymore that'll do me.

Thanks mike. I'm really pleased with the shape... just wish I used a lil less glue so there was no gap... could have got the blade in all the way

They look great, I'll bet you get a big kick from playing them, or hearing someone else do so.

Thanks. ... it took a little time. .. but was sped up no end with the help of my mini bandsaw and a sanding bit in my drill press!!

Cheers,

Well, like any woodworker I just look at them as a series of minor mistakes.
They play pretty well though- I was a pro player before I became a builder so I know what I like in that regard.

I'm hoping the next few are a step up in terms of finish and overall build quality.
