What are you planning to make this year

[Racers]

Hi,

I am rebuilding my settee arms before a recover, making a new cupboard for the CDs and LPs, I don't have a plan yet!. Another bookcase, a chest of draws for our bedroom. A couple of planes are in the planing (and have been for a while) and a new extension comprising a workshop and a dining room, no not the same room. That should keep me busy for a while, and the growing list of jobs for the wifes family (non of them know one end of a screwdriver from the other)

I am planning to make a storage chest out of Oak, I don't know what this Oak is going to be like, I bought it, well went halves with Pete Robinson, from someone in Suffolk who had a few trees taken down the changed his hobby :? anyway, it was stored outside in an homemade bunker, the price worked out at about £5 a cubic foot (gloat) but I reckon half of it will be scrap.

I also want to make some smaller items, maybe Tissue Boxes, for Family.

I am planning to make a lot of sawdust :lol: :lol:

Tool cabinet.
King size bed.
Two Bedside cabinets to match bed.
Two oak drive gates.

Can anyone suggest a sensible modern design for a bed?

Same here,Chris - guess Santa never brought you a bowlsaver either.. :lol:
Currently got about 70 bowl blanks in stock,5 timber racks with assorted timbers drying,as well as all the big bits from a lime tree and a laburnum tree - and more timber planned to arrive 8)
Short of time,rather than raw material..

I made a new years resolution to make more furniture this year, rather than keep getting side-tracked into making tools and workshop aids like I did last year.

I have several small tables to do, a couple of chests for storage and then a desk and chair for the study. Should have that done by the end of January... :shock: :lol:

Cheers, Ed

A long case clock - or, at least, that's the plan 8-[

The clock has been in the family for over a hundred years but the case perished through a severe attack of woodworm, but I have a rough drawing of what it was like, and the dimensions, and would like to make the new one similar. It's a very simple style. I still have the board from the old case on which the clock stood, and the glass from the door, and would like to incorporate those in the new case. I also have the history of the clock, which my uncle wrote on the back of an old Typhoo Tea packet. Might frame that and put it somewhere inside 8)

A lot of sentimental value so I hope I can make a good job of it. It will be something nice to hand on to my children so they can point to it when people ask: "What did your Dad actually do with all those tools?" :lol:

Cheers :wink:

Happy New Year chaps......

........and this is what I will start sometime this winter/ spring (if I can find some decent air-dried ash): The Melting Dresser

The sizes have changed since I drew this...it will be bigger...........and this will be my entire working drawing. This will also be my first go at steaming.

Wel if all my jobs come off this year I have this lot.
Oak wardrobes and computer desk.
Pine wardrobes,
Electric meter cupboard,
two fire surrounds,
two garden gates,
the 'A' frame shelf unit,
radiator cover,
Pergulor with seats,
Dining table in Beech,
not to mention a bookcase for SWMBO,
a filing cabinet also for SWMBO and a corner unit.
That lot should keep me busy for a while.

You do come up with some original projects don't you? That dresser plan of yours looks wierd to say the least. However, I would have said the same about your "flintstone" style projects but they look great.

I look forward to seeing some 'melting' furniture.

[promhandicam]

I plan on making some money this year :lol: I've got some work lined up - fitted drawer units; kitchen fit; alcove units etc. - so hopefully won't end up in the workhouse!

Well I have a fair list of things I'd like to do this year, not least of which is finish off the LP project currently growing dust somewhere in here. Don't know if I'm willing to reveal the rest of the list yet in case one of you lot resurrects this thread in a years time and I have to own up to only having done one thing on the list

Are you a fan of Marten Baas's work?

[Ironballs]

Impressive, begs the question, Mike is your piece to be sculptural or functional? Or even both?

Actually Rich, I am trying to forget the greenhouse and the rest of the garden I have to finish, when I have the time. :roll:

 

[woodbloke]

I just done a glue up of a small project in American Oak, got the drawer and back to do next. Then it's onto a coffee table in English Cherry with a marble fossil top, followed by some shelving units for the lounge and also my daughter will need a computer table at some point this year - Rob

Bugger..........there I was thinking I had an original idea!!!

No, I'd never heard of him......

It will certainly be a practical piece of furniture.......it will stand in my kitchen. Working out the hinges for the RH doors is going to be fun, as will the leaded lights for the "molten" glazed door! Only thing is, my wife has only seen a sketch of the left hand half of the project............if she happens to see the whole thing, then I haven't got a chance!!
