Dodge's latest Challenge - Don't get Bored - Get a Board!

[MMUK]

I'll see how funds and time will allow me over the next couple of weeks. I may have to have a go at this, I should be able to do something by the deadline Won't be anything spectacular though, I'm restricted to a small workshop (12' x 7') at the mo shared with my dad.

wow, that's a lot. I got my board from witnesham saw mill yesterday and it only cost me £10!!!!! billy bargin

Have rung and spoken to them... going on friday to see what they've got as I'm up that was anyway. He thinks he'll be able to find me something.

I think I can dare to think about a project now!!!
Fingers crossed!

 

[Dodge]

Come on folks - Any more takers???

I'm trying to source some timber, all mine is either too short/ narrow. The closest i have is a piece of 7 x 1. All my ply is 4ft or under to fit in my car.

I'll probably give it a go, trying to think of what to make and I'll get a board next week. Great to see the competition being run, I appreciate the thought and organisation involved, looking forward to seeing all the entries.

 

[Grahamshed]

I cannot believe how much trouble I am having deciding what to make

 

[Melinda_dd]

COUNT ME IN PEOPLE! !!

I have no idea what I'm gonna make ..... but got my board today so the thinking cap is officially on!!

 

[Melinda_dd]

I cannot believe how much trouble I am having deciding what to make

I can not believe I can't think of anything other than a box!!!

Feel free to share :wink:

 

[Grahamshed]

A box is all that is in my mind at the moment but it would involve resawing the board to get the proportions right and I am not sure if I am up to that.

Thought you were making a shelf? :lol:

Come on folks - where is your imagination???? (hammer) (hammer)

A board of that size - well you could make a bracket clock, a magazine rack, a birdbox, a banjo barometer, a wall clock, a tray etc etc

oh bugger did I just give some hints there :wink: :wink:

 

[Chrispy]

Or a whole house full of furniture, well for a dolls house that is.

 

[riclepp]

or what about a backgammon board and pieces, letter rack :roll: :roll: :roll: (hammer) (hammer) (hammer)

Now it's gonna look like I'm taking your ideas!!

I was bluffing!! I had an idea..... just not sure I'm clever enough to pull it off .... so was keeping it to myself!!!

 

[heatherw]

Could you add upholstery or does it have to be just wood?

 

[bobscarle]

I am sure that I have a nice piece of ash in the garage. Must be about the right width, just need to cut it down to conform to the rules. What to make with it it......Not sure at the moment. Some sort of desk tidy, a box, what about that little side table I wanted to build.

Ok, please count me in and I will think of something before the 14th.

 

[carlb40]

Ok i'll play

 

[Chrispy]

OK, still looking for the right piece of wood but I'm in.

 

[Dodge]

Well done folks!!

I'm thinking about it :lol: got loads of timber that size (Not good timber 'tho - Spruce) but what I don't have is time and a warm workshop, but sounds like you're going to be busy judging the entries soon
