A few more Completed projects... An oak door and frame.    A couple more bill payers in painted beech and MRMDF.  And a little Sycamore cabinet for myself, to hide what was once a fireplace in my bedroom. Still haven't decided on knobs for this....read, the wife wants something I don't.  Thanks for looking. |

Yes, love it! That oak door is very clever, can't really tell from the pics but how are those crossbeams fixed? Is that a sliding dovetail? Very nice work indeed, but technically and visually.
Cheers! Bob.

Love the sycamore cabinet. It's tough to get hold of sycamore in North America, but I'd like to build something from it one day.
I like the oak door too, but I think the bell should be level with either the number or the letterbox.

Thanks chaps, yes the door made a change from cabinet making, and I enjoyed making it. Incidentally how much would you guys charge to make and fit?? I mean the guys from Britain here, but would be very interested in how much something like this would cost in the states. I don't do much joinery and would like to know if my prices are to high or worst still to low. The Oak for the project was £850 including the dreaded.

Yes a sliding dovetail with a very slight taper, glued one end. Mark, very nice as always. What is the Finnish on that oak door ?
Its Osmo extra uv oil clear, The client was told he would need to top this up once a year. |

I'm going to be critical - the wall units either side of the fireplace look great ... The frame above the fireplace looks like crap. There's another job for you there  |

i love the door, the grey lock lets it down. And the chrome looks odd with all the other stuff being brass.

Thanks, I agree about the lock and other bits, but the client wanted to keep them all from the last door. He couldn't be persuaded either, saying that the yale lock cost him £100 and he didn't want to buy another.

So far its shrunk a bit, and its quite damp at the moment. The battens are holding it flat, and there is some s/s bar housed in, at the top and bottom. It can move freely if thats what it wants to do, the battens are only glued on one end, the last 3". But yes It will move, and I have been round to trim the ends of the battens. But expect I will be back, and the client knows this and paid a bit more for me to do this.

Mark: I love the door. I know it's simple but I still like it. I was curious about the cost of the wood here so I did an estimate based on a 32"/83mm wide x 81"/206mm high door 2"/5mm thick with a 4"/10mm thick frame. With tax and shipping it would cost me about $750.00 Cdn. for the stock. Guessing and not having any idea what the market is (competition), I wouldn't charge less than $2,100 Cdn. Tim |

Tim Thanks Tim, so yo pay nearly £300 less for your timber, nice job. I think less this amount, you are about the same. It took 5 days to make, and 1 to fit. |

A few more under my belt..... W/C cabinet in Ash and figured Walnut that my grandfather bought in the late 50s. I can see the Abominable Snowman in the panels?...what can you see?....oh and don't say a fat jesus.  Inside, the timber on the rear of the door is Burr Oak.  And fitted.  This has all been made from one board that I had left over from another job. Next up is a fitted bookcase made in beech and hand painted with Farrow and Ball Lime White to match the skirting.  And finally another bathroom cabinet made in Sycamore and Golden Madrone, with a dovetailed carcase/case.  The inside showing the Burr Oak I used as a backer to the Madrone, and I used rare earth magnets for door catches.  Dovetaily thingys...hand-cut of course.  Soft close brass butts.....  Clickity click
Anyway thats what I have been mostly doing for a couple of weeks. Thanks for looking. P.s. Curved DJ Booth to follow, I will do a wip if anyone is interested? It should hopefully look like this when finished...  |

I love the fitted bookcase! I have a similar idea for a home office. What are the dimensions that you used? what is ply vs. hardwood? Any details would be appreciated!
Thank you!

As always, nice clean lines. Why did you decide the do the bottom & top rails of the door on the first cabinet full width ? I personally would have kept them between the stiles but I suppose it's down to preference. Have you ever tried to use the magnets sunk in with a shallow plug over them to do an invisible catch ? I tried it once but it wasn't strong enough but if I were to try again I would put 2 magnets in the cabinet & 1 in the door.
& yes, I think we all will be interested in a WIP of the DJ booth.
Lovely work Mark.

The color of the wall next to the ash and walnut all look very nice together.
I would enjoy seeing a process build of the DJ booth.
