My first furniture build... And not a very good one.

Tried mortise and tenons in pine but it was a mess so just stuck to pocket holes... Even so it's out of square on every axis.



Made from Sapele and Oak... The top will be oak too.

Most of us wouldn't post pics of our first attempts.
Don't you worry about it mate, fair play for having the balls to post it. Anyway, it don't look bad for a first time =D>
Like my Grandfather would say "those that do nothing are the only ones who don't f*** up", and he was a wise man :wink:
 
Very true.
I find the simplest things are the hardest to make. Lots of fancy mouldings and details hide the mistakes,...
better to make something and learn from it than not attempt to make it at all.
 
This is a tractor and trailer for my 4 year old grand-daughter, finished just in time for Xmas :ho2 . It's about 13" long overall, made of sycamore. There are no fasteners of any kind, it's just wood, glue and paint - and yes, the wheels do go round :) .

I live in rural Wales and I've never seen a tractor that shiny before, it looks great.

Thanks, and seen only at vintage shows :D . I suspect we're not far apart, I'm near Lampeter.

Bronant.
 
Very nice! I know next to nothing about scroll saws, are the facial features etc actually cuts?

Yes, every line is a saw cut (apart from the dark bit at the top of the front leg, that was a void in the rubbish ply I was using) :-D
 
Thanks for the reply, now I want a scroll saw, are Screwfix still open I wonder?

Merry Christmas all!
