Woodwork

Apart from gardening, I have several other hobbies. One of these is woodworking. I thought that I would share a project that I have been working on over the past few weeks. Its a writing desk for a guest bedroom. As will be seen, its a rather unusual one...

First thing was to turn up a number of legs in the lathe...



When these were finished, the other parts required were cut and shaped...



Assembly began shortly after that. First, the end "pillars."





As can be seen, one of them is rather odd in the fact that it only has three legs. Finally, the centre section was assembled, and added. This completed the construction.



The whole piece is now on my workshop floor, awaiting a coat of finish.

Hope you all like it!

 

That is a lovely job Sandy

 

That's beautiful Sandy! You're a man of many talents!

 

@HarryS and @Sheal thank you for the kind words.

 

@fat controller Theres nothing special about it, its a simple piece that anyone on here could make with a few tools. "The car" on the other hand....

 

A handsome piece of furniture, indeed!
Bravo

Trust me, not *anyone*

 

@Sandy Ground

Top job mate, well done!
I was impressed with your comprehensive set of lathe cutting gouges and scrapers too . . .

 

There is already quite a long queue for that... If I could post a short video on here, I could give you a taster....

 

My old woodwork teacher would have found the smallest mistake I might have made, called me "soft mick" and clipped me over the ear...He was the best teacher that I have ever had!

 

I didn't have a woodwork teacher unfortunately, girls weren't allowed in the male domain when I was at school. I settled for the art room instead.
