Wow, Colin, that's nice work

When I hear or read about all this fabulous restoration work (Windsor Castle, Guildhall, etc) I often wonder where these craftsmen are. Nice to know that there is at least one in our midst.

If you have more examples it would be lovely to see it.

I have now got around to finishing that chest of draws as it was my mum's birthday last saturday (80 :shock: )
It was just in time ( friday night )

 

[Colin C]

One of the big draws

Now with the hole thing polished and handle fitted

More amazing work, Colin

How big is that? Looks about the right size for a couple of teabags :shock: :lol:

Very nice Colin, very nice indeed.

Forgot to measure it but I will be seeing it and my mum soon, so I will let you
know how big it is
Thanks glad you like it
I will also post some pics of the one I did for my sister about 12 years ago

Colin,
Great job - I love it and I expect your Mum will too.

 

[Paul Chapman]

Another cracking piece of work, Colin =D>

Bet your Mum really liked it.

Well now the one I made for my sister

 

[Colin C]

This was the oval I was talking about at woodex ( for the people that where there on sunday)

It is about 1/2 an inch high and about 3/4 in wide

 

[Colin C]

The ogee feet and more small hand cut dovetail, plus this was done in a spare bedroom on a desk that was in there and before you ask yes I think I was a little mad at the time :wink:

 

[Colin C]

Steve Maskery this was all hand veneered with animal glue, if you pm me your email address I will try to do you a small video on how to, its not that hard.
It will be no problem for you from what I have seen you have made

 

[Paul Chapman]

yes I think I was a little mad at the time :wink:

Maybe, Colin, but in a very creative sort of way :wink: Another very nice piece of work =D>
