    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.

    4 x wall bookcases [Pine]

    I need to build less toys and more furniture for the house.

    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.

    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...

    Well made solid timber furniture is much cheaper in the long run..

    Most flatpack is 5 - 10 year and it's over.

    EDIT.. To my eye most flatpack is too hideous to live with. Surround yourself with quality.
