Building a pine desk this weekend. Nothing fancy but so much better when I can get to everything. Still a way to go and trying a few things with mdf before switching to pine. The pine Proboard eliminates the need for me to have to make my own glue ups 😊

We made a small shoe storage unit this week to match the coat rack I made last week. Nothing fancy as it was made mostly from scrap pieces and off cuts from other projects but it does the job nicely. For added comfort, we bought some seating foam and some nice cotton tweed.

Coat rack finished. Mdf bottom and oak top. Next job is to make a matching shoe bench.

Onto the next job now…something to hang up the coats. Gonna try painted MDF frame with an oak top.

All finished. 😊

Working on the drawers for the under stairs storage. This’ll be for shoe storage, so there’s a few bars to fit next.

Had almost a year away from the workshop but been back on it today. Cnc all cleaned up and ready to go…

As per a previous post last year, I no longer make/sell items to order and as a result, won’t be attending any more craft fairs. I’ve gathered up all of the stock I have left and it’ll soon be going onto eBay/Etsy.

There’s some really nice pieces left and perfect gifts for birthdays, weddings etc. I’ll be selling these around half the price originally listed, so if anything interests you, just let me know on here or by PM.

The oak button coasters are going up for just £5 each and are available engraved with TEA, COFFEE, MUM or DAD.

The Mr & Mrs coasters (ideal as wedding gifts) are just £10. I think I also have a Mr & Mr set and a Mrs & Mrs set.

I’ve Rich Tea coasters, Digestive Coasters, keyrings (best teacher, mum, dad etc) door hangers, phone holders…

Some of the items are ready to go, some will need a good sanding and oiling first…

If you need pictures of any particular item, just let me know 👍

22/08/2022

Setting out for the next project…lean to wooden greenhouse.

04/08/2022

Putting up the fences we made this week. We’ve waited until the bees exhausted all the nearby lavenders so as not to disturb them. Cut the lavenders down today and a bee came to have one last meal with us 😂

30/07/2022

Finally getting around to repairing the garden wall and replacing the fences. It’s taking some time but a bit each day means after a couple of weeks we’re seeing some progress. Should look nice when it’s finished.

24/07/2022

Lots of work around the house to do…stuff that I should probably have done years back 😂
