  1. Never religious myself but I do like these. Nicely finished
  2. Thanks, that is very helpful.
  3. I have a very large counter that has a dozen or so big drawers from a demolished department store. A bit of work to do but if I need a nicely grained ply I replace the bottoms with some mdf
  4. Hi Frank, the cut panel is a piece of salvage ply that I had tucked away with something like this project in mind. It’s 4mm and was a little warped so I used a 8mm backing panel to straighten it. Glued and screwed. The frame might be a little over engineered but better on the safe side than sorry is my thinking. Needs a bit of touching up.
  5. Thanks Frank. That was the first I have ever made so I’m pleased with the positive feedback.
  6. I haven’t been very active lately due to a few issues but here is my latest trial run. Made from recycled Rimu and an old drawer bottom. Back in the old days they sure were not shy about making ply with character grain.
  7. That’s a real beauty. I’d love to have a go at cutting it sometime when I finish about 10 or so of my unfinished projects.
  8. I really like the look of that . Well done indeed
  9. Bravo! What a masterpiece. It looks absolutely stunning ,you should be proud and the look on the grandies face is gorgeous.
  10. I thought it was about time I showed this one on here. Thanks to Frank for helping me out greatly. used recycled oak. Hard and dry as nails so it taught me patience that I didn’t know I had.
  11. I would soon run out of wood and then feel a little stupid myself
  12. I got it of online after a search. I have it here and will send it to you if you want
  13. Some I made to look at as a reference for when I make a mess of things.
  14. Impressed! This is somewhere on my volatile wish list and seeing your excellent work has just shifted it up a place or two. Well done. May I ask where you got the pattern from? It seems to have been vetoed on Etsy.
  15. Love them. They are great.
  16. That’s impressive. Totally inspiring.
  17. It’s a beauty. Now my wife wants “GRUMPY OLD WOMAN”. I did not get a good response when I suggested GRUMPIER would be more suitable ’
  18. After the positive comments on my last post I now feel confident enough to post some earlier projects. Many thanks to Steve and his generosity.
  19. So no grey areas? That’s what my wife says about me too
  20. Thank you everyone for the kind responses. It has given me the confidence to show more often on here.
  21. There is something about Kokopelli that’s very intriguing. I’m only just discovering it. I have another project being sketched out but very crudely as when it comes to software I’m not really up with it. My next learning curve perhaps. May I pm you the fraught?
  22. Thanks very much . Just looked at your work. I’m impressed specially with the stack of cats. “ a house without a cat is not a home”. Well so my wife tells me.
  23. This is my attempt at Frank’s Kokopelli Band. Still in my early stages of scrolling and this is the most challenging project I have tried. Made out of 1 inch recycled Rimu that a scavenged from a demolition site. The wood is very dry and quite brittle in the thinner places but oh well it is all part of the fun. So here it is with a big thank you to Frank.
  24. Thanks. It’s Paradise. But then I’m biased
