Cot WIP

[Twister]

OK

MK2

sad to say this starts with 18mm ply


6 panels to make up 1400 width (mattress already purchased)


start of end panels
5 x 140 to give 700 depth
festool domino to help with alignment \ glue up



frames attached with a few clamps


more to follow

 

[paulm]

Looking good so far Steve

 

[Twister]

frame profile routed out



not so happy with the mitres but hoping a bit of "wet" sanding with danish oil will fill the gaps

had to route the handles in for drawer fronts..just freehand as "mess" not be seen again



these fit into a deep "face frame"
just enough gap to leave a bit of expansion all round



Steve

next job is to arrange visit my mate Derek to turn some spindles

 

[Twister]

Okay, maybe I won't publish pics of mine - it was very utilitarian by comparison ...

[Twister]

thankyou guys

think this one may be a disappointment
SWMBO says i am dragging my heels on this one

must admit that working with costly materials is a bit off putting

hope i can pull this one off and get a result of some sorts

I'm the same Steve, I put things off that worry me and when I've done it I wonder what the worry was about. I'm sure you'll make a fantastic job of it.

Steve

Don't get put off mate, measure twice cut once is the old saying that's very true.
Lift the spirits and carry on, you'll soon see it all making sense and the light at the end of the tunnel.

For what it's worth I think it's looking good.

 

[GeordieB]

Its starting to come together nicely Steve I know working with costly stuff makes you more nervous I was S***ing myself fitting my walnut worktops and its a job I,ve done loads of times before just not with £700 worktops like Brian says measure twice and have confidence in your abilitys

 

[Penpal]

Great project Steve looks strong as heavy as we went through many over the years for the visiting hordes we never had room only for one as we ended up with five of our own under eight and then after a 8 yrs exciting stuff SWMBO chose to add one more. WE had babes sleeping in drawers in fact most everywhere over the years. You are special will be always remembered for this venture.Like the progress pics.

[Twister]
