WIP Competition Entry "Chess Table" FINISHED

[Ironballs]

Very good and you left a little space in the drawer to put the Bourbon biscuit prize for the winner of the game. Most considerate

Looks perfect to me.

Here we go again, how do you push the drawers open, over time surely a pressure area will show up?

Well I did intend to add some knobs, I have bought some very small bronze ones that I like but Swmbo don't like then so It's stale mate, excuse the pun :lol: I have found it's actually easier to remove the drawer completely to play a game, and as each piece is taken it's easy to put back in the drawer.

After seeing Woodblokes new thread for "Competition Entries" I've been trying to write the submission up. I thought 350 words would be plenty. :shock: First attempt 659 after heavy editing I got 495 :shock: So rewriting it got it down to 385.... nearly there, so with some more editing I have finally got it to 350 words exactly. :lol: It could have done with the 380 to be complete but rules is rules as they say.

Well then, if you're all done we'll let you set the example to follow with the first post in the Competition thread! :twisted: :wink:

I don't mind posting first :sign3: :wink: I've got to do the couple of pics with no background clutter, so expect the submission later today :lol:

Having to edit it so heavily means I lost a lot of detail on how it was made, things like sizes how I made the mouldings, how I made the drawer insert. My first attempt was very informative the final script is more like an Ikea flat pack instruction, i.e. bloody useless. :roll:

I'm so impressed. The design, speed of build, quality of build and the finished result.

LN, you and your workshop should be on the telly. I'd watch.

it could be real time like 24 - one hours cabinetry a week

I like that idea, as long as we don't lose fifteen minutes of each hour to adverts! :x Split-screen could work well - Nibbo on the planer in one, dust swirling in the extractor in another corner... Now, we just need two more shots! And, of course, as is obligatory in the world of 24; when Nibbo leaves the workshop, the sh*t hits the fan!! :wink:

At the request from Rob "Bump"

[Waka]

Another masterpiece for the competition.

 

[NewtoWood]

A stunning piece of work =D> and as others have said a masterclass of woodworking by pictures.

 

[newt]

Superb work, this sets a very high standard.
