What about the other 7,000 plus out there?

Thanks,
The doors are just standard doors that the client bought. From Howden's I think.

They look like doors from howdends or B&Q

A lot of people seem to be buying these style doors at moment.

Just avoid buying them from B&Q!!  3 - 4 out of 8 doors from two different jobs had to be sent back for replacement on two different jobs for different types of faults.

Them being:

When I unpacked 3 doors I found mould damp all round the bottom of the door about 4inch up

When I hung 2 doors and the client then started to stain them it had patches all down the grooves because their was glue residue on the surface of the doors from manufacture.

When I had finished hanging all the doors on this job a week later 2 of them along the bottom started to delaminate along the bottom rail.

Its been a while for me so I supose I might as well start contributing again...
here is a stair that I am currently busy with
I decided to add a slight "slant" to the approach of the stair as its fitting into arather small space, the bottom of the stair is also right at a doorway too.

great work john

what software are you using to create those stairs

 

[Top Knot]

what software are you using to create those stairs

I started with Stair Designer 6 to get the ground work layed out, I then moved across to SketchUp. I did this by getting a basic outline of the stringers in the form of a jpeg, imported them into SketchUp. I then scaled the jpeg's to suit a model I had made of the room. I did alot of layout/work in SU to get the point where I could get all the measures I required to begin manufacturing... The alternative is to get hold of the guy, Ness Tilson, who heped with the building of Stair Designer software to send you the plans for your stair but that can be quite expensive and the last set of plans I got were in a DXF format which was like greek to me. I had to ask a friend of mine who had SU Pro to convert the DXF file to .skp so i could modify a mistake I had made...
SketchUp is the best thing since sliced wood...

Solid oak DVD rack.

A solid chest of drawers made from apple, lime and walnut top for contrast. All the joints were handcut dovetails including the drawers on full extension drawer runners.

All the above were sprayed with three coats of clear laquer

 

[galwaydude18@gmail.com]

Solid walnut jewellery box. All the dovetails were hand cut and the trim around the base of it actually pulls out and is a hidden drawer! I liked making this jewellery box. The one thing I don't like about it is the handles the boss chose for it.

 

[jmbfestool]

I like that!  How you made the skirting around the unit come out with the draw very nice.

 

[galwaydude18@gmail.com]

Thanks JMB! Ya it's a cool little feature that you wouldn't know to look for unless you knew it was there.

 

[galwaydude18@gmail.com]

Thanks Alan!

A walnut unit I made in the kitchen to put all my little girls toys in. The top and side are doubled up walnut MDF edged with iron on edging.edging. I made the doors from solid walnut and created the joints and raised panel with a cabinet door set from
CMT on the router table. The cabinets themselves are made from 18mm white MDF edged with 2mm white PVC edging.
All the walnut was sprayed with three coats of clear laquer.

Solid oak and cherry bed that I made for my bedroom. The slats for the mattress are solid maple. I sprayed the entire bed with three coats of clear laquer. All the raised panels were done on the router table using the panel raising bit from my CMT door set.

A cargo cage that I made for a courier van. Simple construction and on wheels and received a coat of aluminium paint afterwards.
