stuff me! Lovely design, incredible outcome and you claim to be a beginner - you'll be someone to watch at work when you get beyond "beginner"!
Thanks for sharing, even if I'm now suffering acute clamp envy!

That is excellent work all round. You do have an eye for design and, from your metal working, you have a good level of transferable skills.
One of my students, like myself, has an engineering background and struggles with his need for accuracy when working with a material that moves so much from one week to the next!
Good to see your designs being simple enough not to create excessive hard work yet still classical looking.

There's good adventurous stuff there for a beginner - very well done!
Just a couple of observations:-
I don't see enough walnut there to justify anything like £3k - but maybe you have a lot left?
The shelf standards would look better inset into the bookcase uprights. You can get a special router bit that makes this doddle.

I'm hiding this thread from my Mrs' this puts my last few years of renovations to shame, very well done. I love the projection/media centre, that looks uber posh!

The tonk strip cutter is available from Wealden Tools above.....
Do you dabble in the black arts by any chance ? How many virgins have you put to the sword on that altar ? \/

Fantastic work..and from a beginner too. I wish I could work in more than one material but find metal too tough on my sawblades. :lol: Nice to see someone who has such natural talent in both disciplines. Thanks for sharing them. :wink:

Just did a massive reply and went submit and I timed out damm, went like this, thans for the replies,
Dug out the old invoices, 209 linear metres £2881 net of vat, inc flooring. And I did not have that much left as, and this was new to me I planned the full build including all materials needed, I usually just make it up as I go along, made a boob though forgot to put in supports for the bedside tables right one caught a stud but the left one just kept dropping, I had to cut through from another room and fit a stud. Though the whole room cost me about 15k so the walnut price did not seem to bad in the big pic, the total price I did not expect though. Had a look a your bike blog, a F800
would do me just nice, I highsided a kawasaki ZX6 at 130, had a short relationship with a Ducati, my osteopath is now my best friend, I still have a 73 Norton interstate 850 and a Triumph Bonny 750 American export brought back to th uk a number of years ago.
When I was looking for inspiration on the bookcase I came across Martin Oakleys website and on a bookcase he has I saw the surface mounted rails, and I don't mind either way.
The swords thing, bit of a mix up of life values, you probably can't make out the Buddhist alter, but Buddhism and swords comes from a time I spent in Japan, That and a great read, Shogun by James Clavell.
My gate like most things almost finished still working on the handle, I could not buy anything that suited so I got a spring from a farm gate, then got one made in stainless with the same tension but on a smaller scale, machined a 40mm square bar out and I have a type of spring lock,
big problem because the pin is round when I made the handle it keeps dropping, should have had a square hole in the end cap, the age old problem of how to put a round pin in a square pole. I am not going to preview in case I time out excuse any mistooks.
Thanks for reading
