Very nice piece Ian. I hope to be as talented as you one day.:2tsup::2tsup:

I've finally had the chance to complete my table, and considering it was a bit of a "slap together" job, am quite pleased with it.
I decided to spruce it up a bit with some brass latches and stick...

Job very well done BB. The original maker of the doors would be proud.:2tsup:

moikel, thats what I call a piece of art.
Brilliant job on the finnish, and God help the first person who doesn't use a coaster :D.

Judgeing by the comments above, I'm very much looking forward to this WIP.

Room for one more?

What a great project yowie, and you must have an endless amount of patience to match your skill.
Well done. :2tsup::2tsup:

Very nicely finnished Peter :2tsup:. The draws are definitely in the right position.
BTW, love the Japanese saw.

Here's the latest WIP (not PIW!) shots. As mentioned earlier, an old door has been cut to size, and I've added a couple of boxes on either end using some pine I've had lying around.
The base pieces...

Nice work MH. Love the timber.

Thanks HM. Three coats of lacquer and a good fine sanding imbetween coats.

Thanks for comments guys.
Yes BobL I see your point :doh:. I guess the newly installed smoke detector wouldn't have much effect after the roof was blown off :-.
The potential hazards are now...

Very nice work BB. :2tsup:
I'm a fan of the dowelling jig myself. I was lucky enough to pick one up at a garage sale for $20. Its a Silex No.30 and works a treat. Have yet to use it for mortering...

Hi guys, as a newcomer to this great forum (and to woodwork) I thought I'd post a pic of a previous pine coffee table I made to show where my interests lie, and where my skill level (or lack of) is...

Welcome Megs.
I can appreciate your work hours as I work nights also, which is why this forum is great as you occasionally get chance to peruse this great wealth of information for ideas and advice....

Thanks for the welcome.
I'm currently working on a coffee table using a door I've had lying around the shed for ages. It's a bit rough but will be good practice using dowel joints. I'll post some...

Hi guys, my compliments on what appears to be a friendly, informative forum on all things to do with "building stuff!".
I've recently converted my garage into a rumpus room, had a shed built under...
