The next project I am going to make is a computer desk for the LOML, I have found an article about building one in a copy of Fine Woodworking. The size needs adjusting but the overall layout and construction will be the same.
I rang Thorogoods on Tuesday and asked about Cherry, sawn square edge 1" and 2" the price was higher than Atkins and Cripps but as their half the distance I decided to go to them anyway.
The yard is smaller than A&C and the staff on this visit where not as helpful
First problem NO square edge, OK I say I'll take waney, then NO 2" so I am going to have to glue up stock for the legs never mind now to the good bits :lol:
Nice genteel drive home with the timber creaking next to me
The pile on the bench is quite impressive, it should be at £250.
The workshop has been filled with the scream of my B&Q saw, followed by the buzz of the P/T and the result is
3 kits of parts for the panels that make up the cabinet of the desk roughly sized to allow them to stabilize before I start on it next week. I must finish the chairs that I an doing now I have the rest of the stainless bits, look here to see them. Of course the other thing I have made today is 3 of these
but then it does keep the wood burner ticking over nicely :lol:
Any one else starting on something over Easter, go on give us a look :wink: :roll: :wink:
