Had a bit of time on my hands... so I built this...

[Root 66 Woodshop]

Even built my own trellis as I considered the trellis out on the market was a bit flimsy..

The bench you can see in the first image in the bottom right hand corner was my first attempt at building something... useful.

I've also built a planter - as of which my Landlord has said that he was at a carboot last week in Clitheroe where a guy was selling similar made from pallets at £50 a pop... mine was better looking than his according to him.

It's a bloody planter though... C'mon

Don't keep us in suspense

I know! Forgot how to log into photobucket lol!

All I need to do now is repair the Landlords fence... at his cost!

Here's the Planter

 

[MikeJ]

I build a wine rack last year, mainly because it needed to fit in a specific gap in the garage. Nothing quite as satisfying as building something.

 

[MikeJ]

"Build"? FFS.

 

[Root 66 Woodshop]

I know... I know... I thought you were having a manipaus moment so thought best not to comment.

 

[Root 66 Woodshop]

Had about an hour to kill yesterday so knocked this lil beaut up!

 

[jefhasmi]

I like it!

 

[Root 66 Woodshop]

I'm actually considering taking the feet off - splitting the planter and turning it into a cabinet

 

[ilya]

Good inspiration.
I should get into building things to cool off
Thx!

 

[HighProxies]

Wow you were busy. Want to build me one next?

 

[Newchodge]

When do you start taking orders?

 

[Root 66 Woodshop]

Taking orders for what Cyndy?

 

[Newchodge]

Taking orders for what Cyndy?

Well, I was thinking of orders for the planters etc. But now I think about it, and assuming that you are a man, I suppose you are used to taking orders anyway.

 

[Root 66 Woodshop]

ohhh

where's my...

LOL!!

So - what size planter do you want to order?

 

[Root 66 Woodshop]

Wow you were busy. Want to build me one next?

A planter? LOL

 

[TotalWebSolutions]

In the process of building a TV stand... all from 2 pallets and a bit of spare plank

Sorry - but I don't do Facebook... never really had the time for it lol

 

[Root 66 Woodshop]

Finished the top over the weekend... bit more sanding and re-varnishing then build a drawer

 

[Root 66 Woodshop]

My neighbours are loving how I'm building stuff... they've bought the TV cabinet off me for £100...

I'm not complaining

The missus wanted me to start on the fence - as the old one was a bit... erm... rickwaller... (fecked!

)

So I built this one... showed the neighbours and they loved it... said it was certainly a lot stronger than the original one lol

So, this weekend I've got two more panels to build... Happy days

 

[The Byre]

I had some time on my hands, so I build a 10m x 13m building 6m high. It will be finished this year.

Last year I stripped out two rooms and knocked them into one and built a large kitchen with dining area, complete with proper catering sinks, work surfaces and multiple induction and regular hobs and wood-burner with oven.

Last weekend, I stripped and rebuilt the diesel pump on my tractor (1975 International Harvester 475 with loader). That still leaves me with an old digger that needs fixing.

Today, despite having no time on my hands, I shall make 50 litres of beer! A man's gotta eat!

Tomorrow, I shall remove part of the roof and replace it. That should take me all day!

This winter, I shall strip out the living room and build a media and creation room in art deco 1930s look.

My wife complains that she seems to be living in a permanent building site!

Built a router table

Built a router table

Why? You already had a workmate. Just fix the router to that.

 

[Root 66 Woodshop]

too low for me I end up having to lean over the router - which I don't like doing... balance isn't all that great

 

[Root 66 Woodshop]

Neighbours decided they wanted me to put a door on the TV cabinet rather than have a drawer... told them I'd get on it as soon as physically possible they said no rush

I've given them a choice of varnish to choose from now - so this week I'll be sanding down ready for them

 

[Root 66 Woodshop]

Neighbour decided that it looked good without varnish so asked for clear varnish to be used... they like the rustic look.

 

[Root 66 Woodshop]

Been a while since I posted here... been busy with loads of little projects.

Neighbours who bought the TV Cabinet saw something else I'd build and decided they wanted the tv cabinet looking similar...

So...






A bit of sanding, varnish and chalk paint... and I think it came out quite well...

 

[Root 66 Woodshop]

This is my other bit of handy work... as of which they liked...

I built this for the missus, she's been wanting a welsh dresser for ages... just never thought I'd get around to making one.


upload my images

 

[Newchodge]

Have you considered changing your career path? These are brilliant.

 

[STDFR33]

My girlfriend would love some of this stuff. She's really into the shabby chic and chunky wood stuff.

Agree with @Newchodge - turn into a business!

 

[Root 66 Woodshop]

Thanks... I don't think I've been doing it long enough to even consider selling any of it mainstream lol
