Sawdust In My Socks: MDF Discs

http://www.sawdustinmysocks.com/2015/05/mdf-discs.html

Sunday, 17 May 2015. Had one of my more unusual jobs to do this weekend. Someone had ordered eight 45cm diameter discs out of MDF for a project they were doing. 45cm disc of MDF. To make them all the same size I made a jig and cut them with the router. Jig made for the router to cut circles the same size. Completed stack of discs. Each one was then chamfered to remove the sharp edge before being delivered. An unusal job but as you can see I'll do any that come my way! 17 May 2015 at 15:14. My other blog ...

Sawdust In My Socks: Battening Out

http://www.sawdustinmysocks.com/2015/08/battening-out.html

Sunday, 9 August 2015. Worked at my brothers on Friday. We battened out his two external walls so they could be insulated and then plaster boarded. Rather than just fixing them to the wall we levelled them up as well to make a much better job of it. although this takes a lot longer it's worth it in the long run. All the battens have plastic behind them to prevent any damp tracking through the wall. Battening out a wall. 9 August 2015 at 18:18. 9 August 2015 at 23:44. Its all about trying not to loose too...

Sawdust In My Socks: Repairing Rotten Timbers On A Porch

http://www.sawdustinmysocks.com/2015/04/repairing-rotten-timbers-on-porch.html

Saturday, 4 April 2015. Repairing Rotten Timbers On A Porch. I completed some repair work to a porch for a customer the other day. The porch had gone rotten in the usual places and wood worm on on the fascia board also needed attention. The corner post had rotted through on the bottom. The gutter had been leaking on the corner and had rotted out the end of the fascia board. Wood worm on this piece was quite bad and needed splicing. The bottom of the door frames also needed splicing. A new piece spliced in.

Sawdust In My Socks: July 2015

http://www.sawdustinmysocks.com/2015_07_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 21 July 2015. Stud Work At An Office Refit. I've been doing lot's of stud work at a office conversion I've been working on during the weekends. I've put some big walls up, around 12m long and 3m high. I do love doing a job like this, a nice big area to work in, plenty of timber and lots to get my teeth into. Lots more work from this job to come! Thursday, 2 July 2015. A fairly straight forward job but one that needed to be done first to make the area safe to work in. New beam and joists added.

Sawdust In My Socks: Floating Oak Mantle Piece

http://www.sawdustinmysocks.com/2014/07/floating-oak-mantle-piece.html

Saturday, 19 July 2014. Floating Oak Mantle Piece. A picture heavy post sorry. This is our own mantle piece in our living room. It's been on my "to-do" list for quite some time! The top of our fire place looked like this all winter, so it was time to make it look a little better! Plywood template made up the exact same size as the oak so holes could accurately be drilled and match up between the wall and the piece of oak. Fixing the template to the wall. Making sure it's level. The finished mantle piece.

Sawdust In My Socks: April 2015

http://www.sawdustinmysocks.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, 16 April 2015. Finished an oak headboard for a customer this week. It was a joint project with the customer working with me - not something I normally do but it worked well. We machined the wood from some oak (which we originally thought was pear before we started planing it) that was cut on his land about 15 years ago then stored under cover all that time. The construction was fairly simple as we mounted it all on a sheet of MDF, this gave us a great expanse of surface area. The gutter had bee...

Sawdust In My Socks: Boarding Up Stairways

http://www.sawdustinmysocks.com/2015/07/boarding-up-stairways.html

Thursday, 2 July 2015. I've taken on an office refurb in Malvern that involves lots of stud walls and timber work. My first job was to board up a few stair wells that were no longer needed. A fairly straight forward job but one that needed to be done first to make the area safe to work in. Way in to the cellar to be boarded up. New beam and joists added. Lots more pictures from this job to come - I've got plenty to do there, sorry these aren't that interesting! 12 July 2015 at 01:07. Bridges To The Future.

Sawdust In My Socks: Oak Sleeper Steps

http://www.sawdustinmysocks.com/2015/08/oak-sleeper-steps.html

Tuesday, 4 August 2015. Last week I installed the steps on some landscaping that a customer was doing in his garden. They'd already started the walls and the sides but were struggling to work out the treads and how to put them in. Heavy work, at the bottom of a steep garden but still quite enjoyable in between the rain showers. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Subscribe To This Blog.
