Neil, thanks for all the pictures, you can never post too many :D Can I ask you: - The sheets you made you panels of, I can't see very well but is it ash veneered MDF? - How much was that pile of ash plank you show on the picture? I still haven't bought any hardwood, I manage to get some oak...

Well done, this is a really nice table. I think a light stain would have not taken away the grain and may have highlighted the curves some more. I like it all the same :D

Beautiful work, I love it. Excellent finish, must take a while to do it. It really shows the wood in all it's best grain :D Post some more of those projects.

Excellent stuff, I like them all :D Is this all on your estate? :shock:

I am glad this is benefiting many. I am for one very happy to have brought it up. Thank you to everyone for their input. I'll post pictures of what I end up building [-o<

Thanks Tim, I have touched up the image to correct this mistake. Now, just to be complete. How do you build the bottom of the wardrobe? :P Do you have any picture/diagram of what it should look like? On common builtin wardrobes I always see the plinth recessed under the bottom self.

Yes I understood that eventually! I was stuck (in my head) with the use of a standard european hinge (the ones you see in all the kitchens and wardrobes around here) so I was asking about securing those hinges to the inside of the carcass overlapping the thickness of the face frame. Do you...

Thanks Scrit and Tim. Thanks for your patience. I guess my knowledge of hinges got me there :oops: To recap, here is what I understood (using Tim words as explanation): Cut a row of biscuit slots in the edge of the cabinet side panel. Cut corresponding slots in the back of the face...

Scrit, I am afraid I am more confused now. I think I understood it more before :oops: Does it mean you are leaving apparent slots in the edge of carcass? I didn't think Tim said that. Sorry if I am missing a really obvious point :oops: :roll: I hope i don't irritate you all

I am so sorry Tim but I am not sure I fully get it :oops: :oops: :oops: It would be so good of you to draw some sketches. It sounds too good not to have everyone not understand it :wink: :wink: Are you using pre-made doors which you hang with european hinges in this scenario, if so...

Aragorn, another question: In the case of using the frame option ("straight in"), given that I use some ready made door (the usual built-in doors), how do you hinge them to the frame, I guess you can't use the usual european hinges?

:-) Thanks aragorn, this is really helpful.

Thanks Tony & Aragorn, so what do the pros usually build with? - A face frame and hang the doors to it. Fix batons on either side of the inside of the alcove to lay shelves. -Build a carcasse that fits loose in the alcove and then scrib a face frame around it. Aragorn, in your example, I...

Hi all, I need to build 2 builtin wardrobes in alcoves. Needless to say the alcoves don't have perfectly straight walls. So I am starting this thread to capture the right techniques you Pros use to create this builtin furniture? Here are the usual items to work around: - Walls not...

Nice job, the timber is just beautiful. Must be all the hand planing that brings it's grain so well :wink:

I am waiting for a Jessem Mast R Plate, is that what you are waiting for? I placed the order at the same time.

Stop posting beautiful pictures of SUNNY italy, some of us leave in cloudy Ireland!!! :P

Well it's now well over a <b>month</b> ago my order has gone through and I am still waiting for one item to be dispatched!!! Without it, I can't complete my project. I am well P...ed off :(

Tim, NICE JOB, this is really great =D> What is the reason for the space in the faceframe (thus storage) directly under the post sticking down from the stairs. Is it decorative or you had a constrain? Good tip about taking the shape with the batons :D

Roger, Hate that! Lynx, ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahah Syntec4, your new avatar is distrating! :wink:
