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.

Very nice work. Your taste is very much along the lines of what I like.

Thanks for sharing.

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.

Btw, what is Mrmdf? Medium something mdf....

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.

can't really tell from the pics but how are those crossbeams fixed? Is that a sliding dovetail?

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  [big grin]

 

[Deansocial]

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

 

[MarkR]

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.

 

[woodguy7]

PM sent.

 

[Deansocial]

just a thought wont the door expand quite alot with that costruction?

 

[MarkR]

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, just checked your blog, very nice work indeed.
