Drawers completed although I may add some label frames at some point otherwise I will forget what is in which drawer. The drawer gaps could be better but I've learned a lot and will get it tighter next time. On to the router cupboard door and the pull out larder style drawer on the opposite...

Hi AES, you certainly didn't offend me :) And believe me, the workshop is not like an operating theatre, unless it is one out of MASH :) I've been fitting the drawer fronts now they are veneered, it's taking ages to try and get the gaps even, I'm putting the drawers on a shooting board after...

"That’s the standard technique of privatization: defund, make sure things don’t work, people get angry, you hand it over to private capital." Noam Chomsky

BJ is certainly academically bright, but it takes more than that. His blustering covers his shortcomings in common sense and his duplicitous nature, his only allegiance is to self aggrandisement he is certainly not bothered about making the right decisions for us.

On schooling, if my local comprehensive has been underfunded so the buildings are damp, crowded and not attracting good teachers, like it is, then I will seek better schooling for my kids, but I would prefer to use the local comprehensive. As a parent I will look after my kids interest first, it...

My neighbour is a recently retired pediatrician, he will regale you with many stories about funding issues and also the way the NHS could improve. The truth is that each hospital or group of hospitals are not representative of the whole of the NHS and decisions like opening up the NHS to the...

No, just people below a certain income level not being able to afford health care.

Thanks Phil, I didn't see the interview, just heard that the BBC didn't mention his affiliations, I think all interests of interviewees should be known so their opinions can be put into context. Good to here there was some balance with a junior doctor there but I do worry about impartiality...

I'm on the train so haven't read the whole thread so somebody else may have pointed it out. The retired doctor is a fully paid up member of the tory party and has links to private healthcare. Hardly impartial, but the BBC represents him as such.

The brewery and the brewery tap are in the downstairs barn near the BBQ. The workshop is in the upstairs barn, I don't think I have ever taken a beer in the workshop and never play in there after imbibing, too risky, I still have all my fingers and limbs and want to stay that way :) I have a...

I do have a home made micro-brewery in the barn if that counts :)

Cheers guys! thanks for kind comments. :D I copied a lot from "Stuff I Made" who is a member on here, he has a good youtube channel so can't take all the credit for the ideas. I do like how people take ideas from others and develop them. I've just got back from my nephew's wedding and...

Same here! they can hide a multitude of sins. With complex cabinet shapes like this, keeping everything square is difficult, especially if your over ambitious with the scale of the glue-up. After this kitchen cabinets will be a doddle :D As the missus was out I took all the drawer fronts...

This guy has a nice simple board that seems to tick all the boxes for me, but I will watch this thread with interest as I can't find my old shooting board and was about to make this one. I shall hold back a while :)

That is a very nice job =D> Can it be modified to play music when you turn the handle? :wink:

I get house martins trying to nest in the barn if I'm working in spring with the door open, very annoying! First two drawer fronts veneered. You can just see the washers I'm using as spacers at the bottom, they are about 2.5mm thick, I though a decent bit of clearance is needed as the cabinet...

Thanks Bob :) I haven't done any woodwork for a while so I thought it would be good practice to do a workshop job before I attacked the kitchen that SWMBO is desperate for me to start. I have learned a lot, not only about making cabinets with dominoes and with sliders etc. but where my...

I ended up making all 13 drawboxes, however one or two were a bit tight, I cut all the ply with stops on so they were identical in dimension, it was just that the divider on the narrow drawers was 1mm off centre. Next time I will leave more tolerance on the draw boxes. This meant that I had to...

I'm still working on it, pretty boring stuff as I had 13 draw boxes to make. All dominoed ply with dadoes for the base. The last ones are clamped up now so I can start on the drawer fronts. I bought some iron on veneer so will start on them soon.
