Looks good, but at 150hrs that needs a big hefty price tag on it to make money.

Nice piece - why hand tools?

It's an interesting comparison with, say, the MDF Mangling which Brad did recently (160 hours with machines).

Cheers

why handtools?, well mostly because my boss likes to keep the knowledge alive and love using them were i can because its more of a chalange and less and less people know how to do it. and not everything can be done by machine.

Nice - that's more than I was expecting!

Karl

i didnt see much of that

 

[cambournepete]

Not to my taste either but looks really well made and finished - well done!

 

[Karl]

Ah, sorry Shim. I thought it was one of your own pieces.

Good of your boss to back the hand tool ethos 8)

I don't think the top matches the table/drawers, and the legs look too dumpy - all to my eye.
But the workmanship looks very impressive.

 

[shim20]

maybe the angle the pic is took, the legs are quite delicate but dont look it, took alot of mock up to get it right to what we thought, yer i know whay you mean about the top bit but she wanted that, customers always right and all that :lol:

Very nice workmanship, what timbers were used??

 

[ramp34]

Looks very nice, not my cup of tea, but very good. Nice to see the use of all hand tools on a job.

Way under priced for the hours involved.

Repro furniture is so hard to make a good living
