Oak Shelf


I had to wait until management went away on holiday until i could put the shelf on the wall as it wasn't given the okay, but now its up its staying. There have been obvious improvements pointed out but that goes without saying. I used the table saw to cut through the oak plank, which was easier than the hand held circular saw, when i used it the right way round, so due to poor workmanship it has left some marks on the top as a reminder. I did sand it a bit but my sander came in a big help when i needed a dowel pin to fix a draw handle. I've been to the wood supplies in Wickwar, but its country supplies and they would have to order a large amount of pine so ill have to go further a field.

Picture frame


I made this oak frame from cuts from making the table. It's been assembled for some time but I needed some hard board for the back. It was made to fit the picture which was a present. There is a slight issue with the level of it when up, but I should be able to adjust the position of the hole or use two nails and some string. For now it rests nicely on the next picture
