nice work, but surely chipboard furniture from Ikea ( or any other junk chipboard selling place) is much better value than building such a thing yourself?
 
made a dovetail template out of Honduras Mahogany, planning on making a box or two soon.

Made a very quick and exceptionally dirty window for the good woman's shed/garden tools store/my compressor shed :lol:
Materials.......well it was holding up the BIL's garage roof 6 weeks ago, with a coat of 2k paint no one will be any the wiser :wink:
It'll be glazed with some 10mm acrylic I have from a previous job.

 
Maple and Walnut coffee table...

Took a while but got there eventually!

Here's one of the last 3 things I made - all from victorian floorboards rescued from Erik the vikings "take it to the tip" pile:

Amazing what you can get out of old grimey covered in some horrid tar like varnished wood innit?

I love that table hornben, I like the simplicity of it and the way the top has a slight curve to it, the contrasting walnut and maple is a nice touch.

Nice work Ben, well worth taking your time and getting it right. Those leg to rail joints look really tight and clean.

Preparing some ash boards from two logs which have been laying in my workshop for 4 years and hoping to use next year (2017).
They did not cut easily, the saw coped oK but I was not able to feed them to the blade in comfort owing to weight. I need a feed system to do this sort of thing?
