Tim's Part 2 [Advanced] Final Submission [Complete]

[tim]

Original design:

Finished article:

NB I need a new camera and secondly its not possible to get the same viewpoint as in the design because of the chandelier.

Hope you like it. I think it works pretty well and the main thing is that the clients are very pleased - and yes I need to make them another one........ :roll: :lol: :wink:

Cheers

Colour would not be my choice but that is certainly impressive!

Lovely work Tim. Better than chairs :wink:
Perhaps you could climb into the chandelier.

Cheers :wink:

PS If they ever want the chandelier cleaned, there are these blokes called Dell-boy and Rodney.......... :lol:

What a classic scene, it still has me in stiches! Even funnier than delboy falling through the bar.

Lovely work tim - dodgy colour though! Is it a girls room that it's in? Incredible work, I can't imagine the difficulty of organising a project that size.

Its actually not that dodgy a colour - its my crappy camera - its a dark room and my flash over exposes it. I agree it may not be to everyone's taste but its not the Barbie pink it appears.. Its exactly the same colour as the walls which is a deep red - Elizabethan Red in fact from the Paint and paper library.

Look under collections/ rust/ at this link: http://www.paintlibrary.co.uk/homeframeset.html

Thanks for the kind comments as well. My fitter and I were laughing hard about the chandelier / delboy scene when we were installing the piece.

Cheers

Ah tim - that red does look very nice, very similar to the colour I have in my front room as it happens Although I think there could be a market for barbie themed library furniture

Great job Tim, I didn't realise just how big it is until I noticed the curtains next to it. The surface mounted socket and wiring look a bit dodgy though

Very nice job Tim, can't agree with Dom though, better than chairs :shock: never :lol:

How do you go on moving these things about? Do you flat pack them? I've just made some kitchen units a fraction of this size and I can hardly budge them

 

[tim]

How do you go on moving these things about?

I just tuck it under my arm for I have the strength of ten men..... :lol: :lol:

Actually I make them in a modular way so the upper half is four separate units which while each are impossibly heavy to move alone (except short distances round the w'shop) are actually okay between two. Where possible I preassemble the unit in the workshop so that it all fits together much more swiftly on site but its still very hard work and I'm always glad to get my workshop back after installation.

The surface mounted socket and wiring look a bit dodgy though

Agreed (along with the creosote smiley face above!). Problem is that this has been a huge restoration project for the clients and some of the more clunky decisions are beginning to raise their heads when seen in a finished room.

Cheers

Crackin' job, Tim!

What is it with your clients and colours? Lime Green, Barbie Pink - all I ever get to do is another shade of mag-bloody-nolia!

What can I say - they like statement pieces. Making another one of the red (not pink!!) ones to go on the opposite wall before Christmas!

Cheers

You certainly do, it makes everything look red...

Smashing job. I've just delivered a bookcase/workdesk thingy, not as, well not as anything as yours!

Very, very excellent (yours, not mine)

But Steve - if there are no pics then you didn't do it.......

BTW - here's one with books in and below that is a render of its twin which will go onto the opposite wall. The cabinets below contain drawers for CDs. So far I have built bookcases and cabinets for these clients to hold 18,000 books and 5,000 CDs plus 16 double drop file drawers.

Cheers
