Thanks for that. My previous attempt at woodwork was a failed GCE exam some 45 years ago.....

Wow!

I got an A for my GCSE Craft Design and Technology (aka woodwork) 25 years ago.

Started woodworking again 2 months-ish ago. I still can't make jack s h i t. Hahaha!

Hi everyone, long term lurker, first time poster, newbie woodworker. I built this shoe rack after reading lots of posts from regulars so thanks to you all. It's ash, bought rough sawn from Clarks Wood in Bristol, with a couple of bits of laburnum rescued from my sister's log pile. Construction is with loose tenons (you can see the router jig I made in the background) finished with a coat of Osmo Gold, Aquacoat grain filer and then Osmo clear satin. Apologies for the dodgy shoe collection, we aren't very posh.

yet another table finished, painted white then shellac and wax, I also went for a slightly 'shabby chic' look, something that I thought I'd never do, but I haven't gone overboard and got a blowtorch/flamethrower out, it's a mildly distressed look, hope you all like it.

I hate to say this, as you've mentioned 'shabby chite', but I like that, not particularly distressed and a nice elegant design.

 

[DTR]

I like that =D>

Made this for holding the bins in the kitchen. Left side for general waste, right side for recyclables.

made myself a little plectrum tray, it's a lot more difficult cutting small dovetails, but it was a good challenge.

The paint is Sadolin Superdec Satin. Its an outdoor paint but contains a primer, colour and sealant all in one so saves money and time. I have 3 coats on this piece and to me it turned out perfect. I used a microfibre roller to give a smooth finish. It was mixed to my own preference in the shop.

Here's another couple of pictures which maybe shows it a bit better -

Very nice.

I've always fancied having a go at one of these. Will you use it for its original purpose or as a planter?

Best wishes

made a little dovetail caddy for holding sandpaper from scraps of american white oak and pine, think I'm going to make a few more of these, it was a good practice piece.
