Sorry I hav'nt posted for a while on here but work is progressing pretty well and the sideboard is now almost complete with the exception of polishing.

This photo shows the main carcase with the doors cut in but not hinged and the small table infront.

View of the sideboard, bottom board is through tenoned and wedged with walnut wedges

The middle upper cupboard doors bifold back and there is now a slide fitted for a flat screen tv so that it can be pulled out when wanted. The lower cupboards conceal drawers/trays (yet to be made) for storing DVDs in their cases.

I should get the construction of the sideboard finished early next week - unlikely to be in the workshop much tomorrow and then can get the bookcases made before starting to polish it all!

That looks very nice Rog. I really like the look of that table. Can't wait to see the finished piece. Great work.

Well got the basic construction of the Oak and walnut occasional table completed today - Carrying on with the bookcases tomorrow.

Both pieces look good, this one to me is very A&Cish with the legs reminiscent of stuff done by the late Alan Peters. Personally, I'm not sure the treatment of the lower section (rails and feet) look quite right...I might have done them slightly differently, but I'm not sure how. Anyhooo, it's a nice piece none the less...hope the customer appreciates it - Rob

Well I'm getting there!

Got the bookcase assembled today and it all fits together - just got to make the floating/adjustable shelves to go between the fixed ones - Thats tomorrows challenge!

The client called today and is very pleased with the units and delivery dates committed for mid-Oct so got a fair bit of polishing to do over the next couple of weeks

Love it all. How have you jointed the bookshelf where the shelves cross the uprights?

Si.

Si.

I think the easiest thing is I will take some photos of the joint when I disassemble it all and post them, basically the shelves are a single length and the two halves slot together with a sliding housing, a bit like the dividers inside of a wine box!

Hi Rog
That looks very nice.

How thick are the shelves and what is the span please? I ask because I am wondering how to avoid bookshelves sagging and wondered how you overcame this?

Shelves are 750mm wide and I finished from 1" sawn stock down to 21mm - I have never had problems with sagging over these dimensions in the past.

I'm not surprised the client is pleased. She should be absolutely ecstatic! What will the finish be?

 

[Dodge]

Pre-cat lacquer, de-nibbed and over waxed with Mylands Light Brown wax.
