This is my 3rd Project overall

Im 17 and do cabinet making at collage this was part of an exam where you couldn't use machines only hand tools. :x

Had 15 hours to complete it.

Mwahahahahahaaaaaaaaa :twisted:

Looks good. =D> Dimensions? What method did you use for the veneering? Finish? C'mon, we're fellow sad case woodworkers, you don't have to keep the details brief to avoid our eyes glazing over. :wink: :lol:

Cheers, Alf
 
lol :D

It just has a wax finished and sanded down with 320

the vaneer was put in a big clamp and sandwiched between to big peices of wood, it was kind of a machine i guess but it didn't used electricity :D

can't remember the dimensions unless i go and measure :x

Off you go then; we'll wait... :wink: Roughly will do. Just wondering 'cos you said it was a bit small to be any use.

Cheers, Alf
 
Looks nice Jez. Well done.

What about #2 and #3. You need to post more pictures - It's compulsory! :D
And like ALF says we must have dimensions too.

Jez,
another nice piece & looks big enough for a pint glass & bag of crisps come Saturday afternoon.

Lee,
from memory I think #2 or #3 was a bedside cabinet.

You need to address this problem :lol: - you should always have at least one tape to hand (I often leave the house before realising I still have a pencil behind my ear,and a tape measure clipped on a trouser pocket - unless that is the start of senility :oops: )

Looks great :D don't forget to take it home or someone else will !
As for the small comment , wait till you have to make a 300mm tall door and frame or a three tread bullnosed staircase you cant fit a foot on . Then theres cut and fixing a barn end hipped roof with pitched dormers you can pick up with one hand .
All made with only hand tools :shock:
God i sound like an old man :shock: :cry:
Nice job :D
