What did you do lately?

[Woodman]

I started this before Christmas, Its taken a lot longer than I would have liked but due to getting covid, then blood clots, sort of set me back a bit. I know its not for my van but it may explain why I call myself woodman. I have yet to start the matching cupboard and bookshelf top.

Bloomin brilliant! Put a lip on that and it would be a fantastic “changing table”...remove the lip and you have a family heirloom!

Used or new boards?

How have you made the top boards - sash clamps and just butt joints or biscuits / dowels?

Hi Yes just 8 biscuits along its length to help level up the boards when gluing them. I use about 8 sash cramps and I use two pieces of ex 5 x 3 pse to clamp across to help keep them flat. I use Titebond Ultra on important joints. I bought these boards as sawn waney edge planks from Thorogoods Ardleigh on Friday. I bought 5 and they made my wife's roof bars bow a little

Love the way you have put the door at an angle to face the garden, thats a nice design touch. Is that where you sneak off to when ordering new bits for the van

Nice job! Love the door at an angle. No complaints from neighbours?

the angle makes it look closer to the house than it is. Its sectional so can be taken down so its just a posh shed ;-)

No complaints - TBH the neighbour at the back of us never use their garden and its still turfed up to the fence as the builders left it 20 years ago!
