Looks handy.
Gotta get me one of them compound mitre saw thingies first though. Still using the old hand mitre saw or me thumbs and a tenon saw ATM. I'm in the middle of making an octagonal birdhouse. It's a bit of a pig by hand...

Far left on top of junk!

Now that is a workshop!

Hi Tom

Well done. Your unit looks really good. Is it something you have in mind to sell in the future?

Do you always manage to buy a new tool for each project? :wink:

All the best

i will probably try to sell it, i will put it on my website in a bit when i price it all up!

oh and no, usually i buy a tool each month if i can save enough dinner and pocket money :wink: !!

gary- yeah i can see that it would be very hard to do all those angles by hand lucky me eh?

tony- its made from a mixture of solid beech and veneered chipboard ! and of course shawn always manages to get in there somehow! oh ya and that doll thing on the right is called "Jamie"- he hides the plugs


Hope this is everything!!

Nice one, looks nice and strong, needs to be with a large TV on it.
Good to see you making things instead of just trying to buy more tools :wink:

Grone, grone, grone! :lol:

Can I just bore you all to tears for a moment and mention the wonders of a shooting board for making accurate mitres, bevels etc. There's a couple here too. Okay, that's it, I'm done.

Cheers, Alf
