My latest commission - WIP

[clk230]

looking great , thanks for taking the time to show us your work

Well the woodwork is now complete and I'm ready to start the lacquering on Monday

The sideboard has had the knobs fitted

The bi-folding doors open to allow the slide and lazy-susan arrangement to come out for the concealed storage of a flat screen TV

All the floating shelves are fitted into the bookcase

And the shelves were castellated to slot into the uprights across the width of the bookcase

I must admit I will be glad to get it all finished and delivered now but I can definately see the light at the end of the tunell!

The big question is what will be my next major project after I've completed some smaller jobs

A traditional long case clock in burr tiger oak - Watch this space - and yes before you ask whether you read that correctly I did say burr tiger oak - some of the most beautiful timber that I have ever had in my workshop and as rare as the proverbial rocking horse do-do!

Watch this space

I am confused, do I see tools in that cupboard behind the lazy susan?

The next project sounds a bit wild.

Keep showing.

Err...there's no back on the tv cupboard, that's the workshop. Or am I missing the joke

 

[Hudson Carpentry]

I like it. I'd have similar myself. Great work.

Confused? - Yes I do use tools in my workshop to make my furniture - The customers have specifically requested no back in the piece as It is to be tied to the wall.

Well - my workshop is clear again! - All pieces delivered to a very happy customer this morning

Well got a few small jobs to do now, a couple of occasional tables, a walnut circular tray and then will be commencing on a nice Longcase Clock

Hi Rog

Back in September you posted "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!"

I was waiting for the further explanation of how you had joined the shelves to the uprights, the fixed and the floating ones. I would still be interested to learn how you did this please?

Did this method allow you to take it apart to transport from your workshop to the customer's home?

 

[Dodge]

Sorry that completely slipped my mind - if you pm me your email address I will do a sketch and email it to you
