Thanks guys. I am hoping to be there when it is fitted but will certainly get some pics when it is in place. :wink:

That looks a nice job. It is bad enough assembling wardrobes in a normal bedroom let alone building them on top of another! :o Bit that puzzles me is what in heavens name are they going to put in those top wardrobes!? I guess it is certainly making use of all available space. :lol:

Very nice. I especially like the robes with the oak panels. :D

Neg rake blade for mitre saws. If you use a positive it will likely lift the work off the table. HTH. :wink:

Andy beat me to it. I have often used inner tubes cut into bands for this sort of job. :wink:

Thanks guys. Well Monkeybiter, Those two curved pieces were made out of one piece of wood and no I didn't glue the band sawn bits back. I made a template out of some scrap MDF and used this to draw around. Then I cut the pieces on the band saw freehand finally sanding to the lines. As you will...

Very nice doors, I like those. :D

Yes, it can also a length of timber with positions marked on it. For this job the length of timber wouldn't have given me the angles.

Thanks Keith. With all the angles on this a rod is useful to ensure the angles can be marked out on the timber straight from the rod. I just used a sheet of MDF and drew out the full size template showing the intersection of all of the angles. it is then a simple matter of overlaying the wood...

Got on well today and started with some assembly of the top frame. Front assembled. With this out of the clamps I routed the detail into it. Then finally got the front and back assembled. I cut the posts to length and put the tennons on both ends. Then made a start on the gallows brackets...

I bought one of the pop up gazebos from Argos a few years ago for my chops saw etc. It was well made for the price (£65) and lasted me a number of years. I ended up selling it as it wasn't getting enough use once I got a van. :wink:

Very sorry to hear this news. Wishing you a speedy and full recovery Nick. :(

Made a start on another job this morning while I am waiting for some paint for another job. This one is a canopy which will sit over a gatway in a wall. It is all treated softwood. with all of the angles on this one I started work with a rod to build to. Got the centre frame section cut along...

I managed to get all of the parts in primer today. I also made sure I labelled where each runner went with it's shims so hopefully they will all work once assembled again........fingers crossed. :roll: I have another job on over the weekend so will get back to this on Monday.

I am sick of hearing the dreaded beep, four times so far. :roll: I am wondering if the earlier Li Ion batteries were of a better quality to the later ones? this would explain why some people who have older batteries have had no problems with them. :?

I already have, I now have a De Walt one which so far is going strong. I still have a 9.6V Ni Cad Makita with one battery still going strong.....after 15 years! so I doubt very much it is me that is at fault. It seems to be these Makita's later batteries as I have had a 12V Ni Cad set go faulty...

After all of the faffing around with the runners I have finally got the drawers ready for priming. :roll:

In the shop today using my Makita drill driver when I put it down on the bench only to find a couple of minutes later that it was smoking! I tore the battery off it and threw it out of the door as it was red hot! After all of the problems I have had with these drivers I shall be sending a strong...

Well Pete this is the first time I have used these in soft close and they seem to be ok'ish, read on. I got all of the drawer fronts finished ready for priming. I did have a lot of problems with the runners on the second unit and am still playing around with them. Strangely the top drawer is...

Half a brain cell away from insanity! :shock:
