A silky oak kitchen
A vanity unit for bathroom
TV unit (three)
Coffee tables ( many)
Bookshelves (many and various)
large ornamental display case
Side board
Stand for bathroom
Jewellery boxes x 5
Step stools
Hall stand (two-one rectangular and one on a turned column)
Folding table
Small bedside table
Large document box
very large children's toy storage boxes (two)
I think that is all I have made for my house. On top of that I have made a bunch of stuff for other people and local organisations and schools. The biggest project was the complete fit out (walls lined, work benches, storage cupboards etc) of a new manual arts dept for a school. This took several months. They then gave me the task of contracting for all the tools and equipment and setting the place up. Big job but very satisfying.My age is still less than my number of posts

Woolworths is to blame.
I don't think that the failure to produce a longer list of things is your fault any more than I blame myself for not doing more or for having a long list of projects still to do. I blame Woolworths and Coles.
You see when we go to the shops to get food those two companies (but there are others) want me to pay them for the items we take away. And the only way I can get money is to waste good shed time working. If the shops would have enough sense to just give me what I need I am sure I could make a whole lot more.My age is still less than my number of posts

i'd like to get into a bit of furniture making, but when i weigh up the cost of materials compared to going and buying a flatpack, i wonder 'why bother'...i know i know, you dont get the satisfaction and so on, but its still a bit of a downer...
