Thread: Things you're gunna make 'one day'

If I ever finish my home entertainment unit in silver ash and bluegum, then I want to make some brekkie bar stools using lamination to a design I have in my head. After that a new set of chairs to go with our silky oak refectory table. And a new workbench and ....

Cheers

A musical instrument
A boat
A rocking chair
and a coffin...but I'm putting that off 'til I need it.

Oh yeah, forgot the boat.

Not necessarily a timber one, I'm thinking about a BIG Bruce Roberts steel cruiser.

a chair (any chair!) and ....
I inherited a beautiful corner display cupboad, panelled glass display case above and cupboard with a beautiful veneered marquetry door below. I'd love to make a matching wall unit computer desk display thingy to match it and have the corner cupboard fit seamlessly onto the end of it. I have some sapele planks put away for it, tools sufficient to do it, the design in my head, ah, but the skills ......?

Timber Boat..........underway
My own house based on bridge timber frame with rammed earth walls, why not have some ambition!?

Dan,
How old are the kids? Because if you want to make a rocking horse then you should do it sooner rather than later. Rocking horse are best for age 2 to 8 and you want the kids to have a few good years before they get sick of it.

A million dollars, - no, bugger it, 5 million dollars, then I can buy everything I want

A 5 string banjo - dunno why coz I can't play one.

I would like to make ...

the table that made me join the forum in the first place

so many ideas, so many finishes, so much to do, so little time

I asked one little question and then I was hooked

have made bits and pieces based on advice, ideas and the like, bought tools, bought timber, practised, failed, passed, finished (at least as I was concerned)

Actually - I think I would just like to make something I would be proud to post on this inspiring forum

now - back to that table

... and a rietveld(sp??) chair. How'd I forget that? :confused:

Austin powers 60s drinks cabinet just like this one,(fully stocked of cuz) Then I can retired from ww and start being normal lol.

They're 2 and a bit and almost 1. I am concerned that I don't have the skill or gear to do it. I don't like making sh it. If I do something I like to do it well.

• A full eight seater dining table, with two carvers and six regular chairs, complemented with a matching carving table - all in English Yew. Style? Essentially Georgian, but simplified and brought up to date a little.
• A "sleigh" bed - but kinda/sorta in the form of French Provincial style, in Jarrah or Red Gum.
• Incrementally replace the array of crapiata bookcases that I've made over the past 18 months or so, with some decent ones, also in Jarrah or Red Gum.
• A nice big Jarrah (or possibly Blackwood) desk, with computer built in but unobtrusive.
• A nice chair to go with the desk.

Perhaps closer to the top of the list would be some items that didn't have blerry great 'whoopsies' inbuilt as a feature

Methinks that this lot meets the general criteria for a "wish list", as in "I wish"

Per DanP's comments: I also don't want to make junk, but I'm only half-way through my second year of self taught (plus the benefits of this forum!) apprenticeship, so what I'd like to do doesn't always quite relate to what I actually achieve. Yet

i've got to add more to my lists

spear
lond bow (and arrows)
sword
axe
all that kind off stuff and before someone says it, i'm not planning on using them on someone, i just want to make them to put on the wall one day.
