Great looking window seats. I like the frames on the front. Wait…..I do not see bead board???? Is it so?  [eek]

 

[honeydoman]

ha ha jlb....  the frames on the front tied into the same type of paneling they had in the room right next to these on the walls so I tied it together.. they loved it.

I have been spending a fair bit of time canoeing, sea kayaking and camping this year and taken up another side hobby.  ;D
These are the results so far....

Can't stop playing with bits of tree  ;D ;D They also make great camping cookware. (top pics use a £1 coin and last one a £2 coin for scale purposes)

I was asked to build a display case for an antique rifle by a close friend. Turns out the rifle is a rare octagonal barrel smooth bore model circa 1875. It is a lever action Winchester! The rifle has been stored in an antique ammo box but the owner wanted to display it with more elegance than just the ammo box. So I obtained some pecan wood as it was a good match for the ammo box material. I milled out a frame to hold what turned out to be one quarter inch layered safety glass for the window. The frame for the glass turned out to be fifty inches long. After I face planed and thicknessed my board for the back box I noticed that due to the nature of the raw board that post milling one end was thicker than the other! Also the board was shorter than the frame for the display window. After a few choice words came to mind I decided I needed to stretch the boards out to fifty inches. I took some material that was of equal thickness and used the trusty old domino to attach the equal pieces to the ends of the boards which not only added the needed length I wanted but also gave me the equal dimension at the ends of the boards so that the back box was square. An added benefit was the fact that it also covered the end grain on the long boards.

This was a fun project and turned out well considering my concern about what to do about the tapering thickness of the long side boards. The only way one would know that the sides taper would be to take the back off and look or measure the thickness. Outside they look fine! When I dominoed the end pieces to adjust for the taper problem I went side and face grain on the pieces which I feel may have added some strength to the case as well. I made some French cleats to hang the case so it could be easily removed to show the rifle to interested collectors. Just remove the back and slide out the ammo box and then the rifle can be removed from the holders and inspected! I know this is kind of basic compared to most of the really incredible stuff I have seen on this post but I am proud of it and understand it will be residing at a CEO's home!

Merbu deck and Rendered Brick Wall.[size=14pt]

Deck constructed with treated pine stumps, bearers and joists and with Merbu 90X19mm decking. Sides 14019 and 9019. Decking screwed.

Neighbours boundary wall was not finished off  by bricklayer during their house extension. I ground off rough mortar and brick with angle grinder. Wall then sealed, rendered and painted with Dulux Texture undercoat and two finish coats.

Merbu 'deck cleaned' and water pressure sprayed. Finished with two coats of Cabot's Aqua-oil in Merbu, using brush between gaps and lambswool pad on top.

Wall cladding has been repaired and new down pipes installed. Door and gate still need work.[/size]

The decking looks nice good clean job

BUT shame about the steps!  With those big ugly angle brackets and being made of different material to the rest of the decking.

Could you not fix through the string instead of the angle brackets?

Jim you are right.

Fortunately I am the client!

Steps are from treated pine with a Merbu stain, as until very recently Merbu  was not available to me thicker than 19 mm.  Now I can get  Merbu at 45 mm thick we intend to replace steps.

Beautiful looking deck. I suggest making some slip on covers of matching wood to cover those metal brackets as they do diminish the fine work on the rest of the project. Perhaps a pin attached to the cover pieces would suffice. 

 

[honeydoman]

nice deck from down under too baad the brackets for the steps wern't down under the steps  !!!!  nice looking wood... enjoy

 

[honeydoman]

Well come on lets see some more of your work and projects !!

It is real nice when clients send feedback pics or show them to their friends, the best advertisements one can hope for.  [big grin]
