Thanks guys. I managed to get this just about finished in between doing an outside job yesterday. Should be delivering it next week.

I use an upcut spiral bit in my router table when I make finger joints. I should point out though that if you are making them in ply you will get a lot of tear out unless you install sacrificial boards front and back. In this case I would have thought the table saw jig is the one to use. JMHO...

That is a lovely job Karl. I am the opposite of the others and like the break front design, I think it makes them look more classy. I do like the robes to fit up to the ceiling with a nice cornice but as you stated with a run out it is far better if there is a shadow gap. I am curious as to why...

Routing out letters does take a bit of practice. I have done a few in the past which turned out acceptable. I use a 1/4" plunge router but a smaller palm router would be easier to control. My method is to print out the letters to scale and glue them to the wood. Most important part is to score...

Thanks guys. I did design it with Sketchup after looking a few up on line.

Today I got the sides cut out and finished and fitted to the bed frame. They will be removable for transport of course. Next on the list is the canopy and the details which will be a job for Monday.

I got the head and foot board completed today. Then made a start on one of the sides. I couldn't get the complete side out of one sheet so had to add a section hence the clamps. Will get the other side cut out tomorrow using this one as a template.

Yes it makes a change from the norm Keith. As for the wheels 'With great difficulty' Seriously though They were made using the router with a compass jig. The centres are made out of 6mm MRMDF and the 'slots' were routed out with a template. The rims were also made the same way using 18mm MDF and...

I made a start on this bed yesterday. This time is is a child's bed with a carriage design. The wheels took some making! The frame was much easier being a basic design. Should get a start on the sides tomorrow. :D

I have been building a couple of cabinets last week. One is a tall unit for files and the other is a small wardrobe to fit over some stairs in a box room. Again these are made in MDF and painted with Morrells 2K. There is a door to go on the tall unit and a rail to fit into the small robe.

Yes Mike, it did make a nice change. It is a coat rack.

I have been making this rack for a friend today. It is for his niece's wedding which is tomorrow so a bit of a rush job. Anyway it didn't turn out too bad in the end. Back to the cabinets tomorrow. :D

Congratulations on getting the job. Can you scan and upload that manual for us all to have a read of? :lol: :lol:

That is just fantastic George. Do you have any details of the mechanism, I would love to make one of those. :D

I did get this finished today. Will be delivering it tomorrow. Not bad going, three days. :D

I made a start on this computer desk yesterday. All pine and I am glad to say the customer is going to apply the finish. :D it will incorporate slide out shelves for the scanner, keyboard, and printer. It also has a small drawer and cupboard with adjustable shelves. Should be finished...

What a collection! fantastic. Would love to see that lot up close. I didn't notice a Harrier which was another one of ours the USA used. Love the Tiger moth pity they didn't have the Gypsy too. Really enjoyed those pics.

Thought I might buy this and combine my love of bikes with my love of wood. :lol: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321823615230? ... rmvSB=true

Thanks Mike, yes they did line up perfectly on this one. I used Dr Bob's method on this and made a template of the stairs first. The slides I used are the heavy duty Accuride runners from Hafele, they are not cheap but will take up to if I remember correctly around 120kg. For this job I made...

I got all of the units finished and fitted today, which the customer was pleased with and also asked me to price up a couple of small wardrobes. Anyway this is how they turned out. I will probably get the job for the stairs too. :D
