Stunning build!
What hinges are they?

Thanks.

They are the best imho!

Beech is not a good choice for a hammer hilt as it transmits shock. That's why thy're normally ash or hickory.

Beech was used as it was the first bit to hand.

I was not at home to chose hickory.

But it works, the operator is very happy.

I posted these elsewhere, I needed a stack of slats for a project, so lots of small tenons to be cut, 76 in total.

40 in this part:

And the rest are used in the another section.

The bigger picture, I make a 2 or 3 Oak garden benches in a year, typically like this:

This one is a different, in that It will fold up, ideal for putting away come the winter, this is all dry jointed, if I get time, will be cleaning up and gluing together this week.

The intended result:

The seat folds up:

And the front legs/arms fold in:

The seat will have a SS continuous hinge connected to a rail running the width of the back frame and the front legs will have a parliament hinge connected to the back leg, with a catch under the arm rest to lock it to the back leg.

Cracking bench always fancied having a go at a lutyens but all the mortise and tenons and curves keep it something I keep putting off

Spectacular! Amazing craftmanship. Truly beautiful. (Colour me impressed!)

I’d put a glass top on it and sell it for £500 on Etsy

I build this sideboard from English oak

Well done - very sculptural, but simple... I expect there will be some movement across the width of the doors. but you should easily be able to accommodate this with the hinges you have used.

You are right on the doors. I reserved the option to make some channels in the back of the doors to compensate for any bowing. However, the oak was kiln dried and I used the cup and smile technique, dominoed and glued. They bowed a bit at first but now they have settled really flat. Very happy with the outcome.

I hate insomnia. It is a real pain.

But it does have a few good points.

3am, cold OJ and good music.

I know I should of used a sanding sealer.

That's sweet, wish I could use the makerspace when SWMBO is asleep but the bedroom is next to the garage and the wall is only 100mm breeze block

Tambour drinks cabinet in American black walnut, burr walnut, Spanish walnut and maple with ebony stringing. This was made as a commission for the LAP (liver and pancreas cancer charity) and auctioned last saturday for £4k. I made one previously which is similar - this one was a bit smaller (900 x 900 x 360mm) and had, by request, a secret compartment with a magnetic lock on it. It probably took me 120 hours in total - but some of that was a cock up I did which meant I had to rout a new burr walnut in when the rest was virtually finished!. Not my finest day

 

[Jaydee]

Wow beautiful work. At £4k someone got a bargain

Very nice indeed. Really great looking piece. Worth every penny

[Cabinetman]

Yes, that’s a real piece of work! Lovely.

How did you make the cuts for the Tambour Gasman? Looking closely at your images I see no noticable distortion to the wood grain, amazing!.

 

[gasman]

Thanks guys. Kind of you. To make the tambours I used a dark hardwood to make 100 slats 470 x 11 x 15mm. Then glued those up 15 at a time to the Spanish walnut sheets using compression rather than vaccuum etc. but between the staves was 1/2mm plastic sheeting cut up into thin strips so that the glue didn’t stick the staves together. Then when it’s dry you just take out the plastic and then cut through from below through the veneer with a new scalpel blade

 

[CrazyMonkey1]

Got a slight inferiority complex after seeing the gorgeous unit @gasman has made, but i smashed together a quick unit for a 2nd hand router table, then made my 1st ever door

The glue up was tense, too many joints and not enough clamps! I just need to give it a decent sand and paint, then attach the hardware - once the missus decides what she wants...

One door down, eleven to go

 

[Sangy]

Had a go at an Oak and Ash table, had it's first coat of finish, will do another then done
