Hobbies Original Fretwork Plans
During a visit to family, in UK, last year. I called in at the showrooms of Hobbies (of Dereham), been going as a business for some 113 years and used to publish a magazine. Purchased a set of reprinted patterns - "Coronation Pack" - here are two I've made:-
The carriage is known as a Victoria Carriage and was designed in December 1898. About 37cm long in Jarrah finished with Organoil Danish Oil.
The Coronation Coach pattern was produced in 1937 and is based on the design of the original which was finished in 1761. About 50cm long in White American Oak also finished with Organoil Danish Oil.
Perhaps not everybodies "cup of tea" but they kept me busy and parts were a bit of a challenge!!
