We went to NZ in 2003 for our 50th birthdays and silver wedding anniversary and had a fabulous time. It is however the land of outdoor sports and adrenaline activities and it is difficult to avoid them. Our itinerary included :- Sailing in Auckland harbour. Nikau Caves...

It'll certainly do the job. We keep ours in a wicker basket next to the log burner and it's amazing how much sawdust/loose bark/dead insects etc is left in the bottom of the basket. I suspect that you'll get the same detritus falling from yours which will end up on the floor if you are not...

My daughter recently dropped a not so subtle hint that she was looking for a bedroom mirror about 4ft x 2ft to match her blanket box and that she was shocked to see that they were around the £300 - £400 mark, and that would be without any decorative carving which stuffed the price up even more...

That's looking lovely. Never worked in pippy oak, and now I want to! Osmo PolyX is great stuff - and ought to make it bullet proof. Just to make sure I'm interpreting these pics correctly, is that top one a single drawer and door with a face frame? And same for picture 3? And are the two...

That really is something very special. Beautifully executed and the client can be sure they have something unique.

That's turned out really nicely. Shame to put a 42" plasma on such a traditional piece. Your customer should be well pleased.

Well it's certainly to my taste. I'd agree with you about including a central muntin on the ends. Of course there is nothing to stop you including some carving on fielded panels. Here's one I made earlier which included my first attempt at wood carving. If I was to make another (and SWMBO...

I'll be interested in the answer to this one as well. Also do you need just one soft close hinge per door (with the remainder being simple none soft close) or must all the hinges be of the soft close variety. And as a supplementary question, given that the Hettich Sensys hinges are £4.40 each...

Looking nice. Are those fielded panels doors, or is the base just a high plinth on which to mount the top?

Looking very nice Rob. I like the thicknessing jig and have made a mental note to file that one away. Could perhaps the sides be squared up on a router table?

That's a cracking job Mike - you must be well pleased. So that'll be tulip wood frames and MDF panels? Paint job looks brilliant. Which Earlex HVLP unit did you buy? And what paint did you use? And did you make a booth or just in your workshop? Do you find that with no kicking boards...

With a kitchen extension looming I'm reading every thread ever written on kitchens before asking questions on my own! SWMBO and I love this one - and 2 weeks in the making and 3 weeks in the fitting sounds incredible. Do you make your own carcasses or buy in? Presumably you make your own...

How I would love a room like that! Fabulous work as always.

Very good DW. The message becomes clearer if you squint!

Quit moaning! He's a volunteer - he didn't have to go to prison.

Si - If you're looking for a nice beach holiday with interesting towns nearby, you could do a lot worse than Benodet, just to the South of Quimper on the southern coast of Brittany. Not too far to drive once you're over there, and not so far south that the heat is too much for the little...

That's a very kind offer John. Thanks very much - I may well come back to you on that one. Not much is likely to happen this week, and then we're away for 2 weeks, but expect to get stuck in upon our return when I will have a bit of continuity and the post flu "listlessness" has been...

Thanks guys. This project has been on the back burner for the last 10 days as I get over flu, and we're off to India for 2 weeks from next weekend, so unlikely to get started before beginning of Feb. Initial thoughts are for a cherry frame to match existing wardrobes etc, with 2 large...

The East Coast Fibreglass Supplies package strikes me as good value, and nice people to deal with as well. I was starting from scratch so bought their vacuum pump as well which is a 2 stage jobbie which accounted for £217 of the overall cost of £275 for the complete package. You may be able to...

I'm tackling this from the opposite way round to my normal approach. Usually I post a project once it's completed, and you guys make the usual appreciative noises and some observations which had I thought of in advance I would have incorporated in the design. So here's your chance. The LOML...
