Once again it's mild steel frame (fortunately painted black this time) with pallet cladding and Rhodesian Teak tops. Drawers made to resemble wine crates, out of pine (with mortice and tenon joints all round) Pure Savage, Long Wheel Base, Wannabe and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 1, 2016 Share I'm gonna be starting the tedious process of stripping and repainting the skirting boards at home. Thinking of doing them in a dark grey against a lighter gray wall and white ceiling in the downstairs area. Then clad the exposed doorway into the kitchen (removed the old steel door frame) and re-do the front door. Then tackle the kitchen. *** jobs, but they need to be done.

jimmycool Posted December 2, 2016 Share The kind of "mislaying" that happens because of a divorce, or that leads to a divorce?Haha, no. The piano was in pieces during a move and then once the move was complete they were no where to be found!

Want to build a pergola, was going to rent one for a weekend, but this is just such a cool tool.The Metabo was gone in an instant...The Bosch is still available. If you were going to hire one for the weekend it's a no brainier to pay a bit more and get one to keep forever!!!!!

kosmonooit Posted December 3, 2016 Share Whoever got the deal on that Metabo got a brilliant deal! Needless to say I am gutted, been wanting/needing one of those for years, refuse to go for anything less than a Metabo/Bosch mrbaker and Long Wheel Base 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 20, 2016 Share This is what I got up to yesterday after work. It's not finished yet - I still need to finish the shelving on the near side, the ladder on teh other end and then the railing on the side of the bed. Then I'm either gonna stain it, or give it a lick of white enamel. All out of treated building lumber, 38mm*114mm and put together with 75mm long wood lag bolts. Still gonna make him a desk in the space underneath, then work on a lego storage solution for him. Then it's on to the spare room, where I'm going to be making one of these (in a simpler guise) for the spare bed. We only use it twice a year, so it may as well be out the way when it's not in use.

Stretched@Birth Posted December 21, 2016 Share A pile of "reject" timber Was cut into components To make a picnic table Now to treat it, any hub wisdom? I was going to spray it with 3 coats of Woodoc 50 (Marine), but not 100% sure that's the right solution?

I noticed you did the same on your previous build. And Woodoc 50 Marine would be probably the best solution not to foul clothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the previous build, the size of the leg meant it would have been very difficult to cut the laps, this one just took a bit of careful cutting. Will probably go the Woodoc route, and just maintain it regularly. Bobbo_SA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
