A simple little Cherry spice/kitchen shelf, built to a budget.

I cured our creaks with a combination of screwing down loose treads and also filling all the gaps and cracks with expanding polyurethane glue. Silent now. 👍

That's a beautiful gate that. 👏 Won't people just walk under it though? 😉

No actually, mine is exactly the same but not orange. Kind of light biscuit Brown. 😊

Do you mean like these? I actually have one 😊

I've done that with other lamps and sold them all in makers galleries. I found that people have a perceived upper limit of what they'll pay for a lamp so the extra work and attention to detail involved in doing that, was very rarely noticed or appreciated. The flex used is in itself a lovely...

I've made quite a few lamps and my approach or my thinking, perhaps wrongly, is that they are made up of parts that are all CE marked. So the flex, the bulb holder, the plug, all certificated. I would then get them PAT tested too. These for example I made the bases, but the actual lamps are...

You know card is made out of wood right? 😉

Currently 90 odd quid a sheet from Davies Timber in Birmingham.

That is fantastic! 😊👏

After a Festool of1400 router depending on price, condition and location cheers. Got to be 240v thanks. I'm in Warwickshire.

Extreme Hoopla.

The metal hoops are most probably made in the same way as wagon/cart wheels. The hoop is made very slightly small, chucked in a fire to get nice and hot and expand, then hammered on whilst hot. As it cools it shrinks and pulls everything rock solid.

Annual Barry White day.

When a client suggests reclaimed wood to me I usually sigh a little, even though I've used it for many things. By its nature, reclaimed wood will take an awful lot longer to source, sort and process than 'off the shelf' timber. It's so often full of nails, old paint or ground in grit...
