William Kent pediment re-styling Pt.1

What are you doing with it now?

It's getting crated up and the doorway moved for some reason. I think it's just architects making up something to do, so they can charge for doing architect stuff.

I'll tackle this one tomorrow.....I don't think that's coming off in one piece.
It should make for an "interesting" week.

Love the photos, do you get "the gilding gig" for the lower ( below the ceiling / wall "frieze" ..forgotten the English term ..Aaaaargh ) moldings / carvings ,on the fireplace etc or are they leaving them "as is" ?

Not sure what's going on to be honest, I'm just following the orders which seem to be getting "updated" by the minute.
Well, as long as the check clears, or the notes add up, and are genuine. Architects eh.
Bear in mind before any quotes, the price of gold is going north on an almost daily basis at the moment.

Saw an article in a magazine about making a mini workbench that sits on top of your existing workbench to raise the work up closer to you.
Thought it would be a fun project and give me a chance to try working with some Ash before using it on my next project.
Few mistakes here and there but overall really happy with it.
I forgot to add a cut out in the front legs for the clamps, but actually turned out to be a good thing, as I'm using it on my mft top I can clamp it from the sides as opposed to from the front, so cut out isn't needed.
Finished with paste wax, not sure if this was the best finish to use but it's quick and easy to apply ha.

I actually made one not long ago, although I need to redo the knobs as they are not comfortable to use at all.

Great idea thanks!
putting the bigger plywood circle on the outside of the smaller ones (glue them together if the big one is just a washer at the moment) would I expect make them much more user friendly.
Nice few evenings pottering in the workshop yielded this
Sycamore with walnut breadboard ends drawbored onto triple tenons.
Reminded me that accurate marking out and squaring up stock is easier than just working it out as you go along -as I did a lot of fettling to get the joints tight with the just get on with it approach

Well, what can I say.......
After a bit of light rummaging, things don't quite look like they should......
The capitals.
The basket/finial thing....
The spikes....
All good so far, but. But, but, but.....An anomaly has arisen.
