Thanks. :)

I guess not. My father still has the original receipt for both the camera and the duty paid on his return to the UK 😀

Thanks for the kind comment. 😀

@MJLWoodWorks Thanks... wasn't sure when I built it that it was going to work. But it works a treat, and gets lots of use. 😀

@@TraditionalTimes I am sure I will building one!

@MJLWoodWorks My way of letting everyone know... I don't take myself too seriously!!! 😀

@@TraditionalTimes 😜

Thank you 😀

@MJLWoodWorks Thanks for the kind words. Just moved house and a new workshop series on the horizon. Start work on that weekend after next. :)

😀

@John-ji1fl Yes. Sometimes breaking down furniture can be hard work. But the pile of free leather at the end always makes me grin. Which reminds me. I have two thirds of a sofa in the back garden I must get the leather off before the weather goes bad. 😀

Yep. Something I'm already working on... watch this space :)

Merci pour vos aimables commentaires

😁

Very good point actually. Having a workshop still means I would need to bear that in mind. Thanks for the comment. :)

@@TraditionalTimes no problem I salvage a lot and seen some bad stuff and even people online unfortunately will give away furniture with bed bugs luckly got rid of it before it spread

@scottishwifie14 It's Fiebings Edge Kote (black). Burnishes nicely just stains skin for weeks if you get it on your hands. 😀

@Birchwoodbldrs In the first instance they were sold as nails removed. Most were. Of the few remaining, I found with most of them with a hand wand metal detector and knocked them through with a hammer and punch. Those that I missed my planer found, which cost me half a dozen new teeth... 😀

@Saneshen281 Persevere!!! I'm completely self taught (with the odd course thrown in). If my "fire bin" could talk, it would tell the story of MANY failed projects. Any craft that uses hand skills teaches helps to develop hand eye coordination. I started with limited leather working tools and cheap leather, honed these skills before moving into wood working. If you want to lean woodworking, then start where I did making boxes by hand out of scrap plywood. So satisfying and you end up with a stack of useful boxes. I think I might do a short video on that, now I come to think of it. 😁

@cazkiwinz4300 Tools are my kryptonite. I was indeed lucky to inherit some of the hand tools I have but if I ever get to buy a 'new' tool, one I haven't had the chance to use before, I never hesitate. It drives Mrs H mad sometimes. Car Boot Sales are a nightmare. I never come home empty handed and more recently it seems every tool I bring home is met with a 'what on earth is that for?'. My old workshop is currently packed up and in storage. Am planning to build (and video) a new workshop at the bottom of the garden. Keep dreaming, keep watching 'craft' videos and never give up on learning new skills. Become good at one craft and you will already be on the road to learning other crafts. There is so much cross over between crafts it's amazing. Developing hand skills is so useful. A good craft to learn with limited space has got to be leatherwork. Give that a try and you'll start to see there is a lot of crossover with woodworking.😁

One idea is to use a track saw, combined with a fold up workbench from one of the big box stores, not quite so expensive as a table saw, and easy to store in a much smaller place. I too am limited for space and one of my solutions vis a vis table saw was to buy a garden container with a hinged top and double doors, big enough to accommodate my contractor saw and bench top drill press. That was about £140.00. from Amazon, not ideal but functional and it allows me to have a couple of power tools that I would not have space for. Happy woodworking however you accomplish it.

@@normansidey5258 That sounds cool! I’ve just started with a rotary tool … so far 😂😂😂

@Ishan.patel91 Is there any other way? 😀

@rjrotermund Nothing I would change on the design. Just think I could have been a little less clumsy in assembling the dividers and the main carcass. Am so pleased with this, I have a second one under construction as we speak.

@@TraditionalTimes tham you. You should be very happy with the result. I hope mine comes out half as good.

@philallen01 Hi there. Finally moved house end of August. New workshop is a project that's probably going to take 12 months to finish (planning permission etc) but will be making lots of interesting videos in the interim. 😀

@seanbiddiss7581 Thanks for the kind words. :)

Thanks... 😀

Difficult to offer advice without seeing the runner in question, or the fit, the layout of the chest etc. All I can say is give restoring or replacing the runner a go as it will bring new life to the box, and that is the most important thing. Don't worry if it looks "fixed". It doesn't have to be a perfect restoration and it will add to the history and character of the box.

Yep. All of those would work. Depends what you have to hand. I don't think there is necessarily a right or wrong way to do it. I know I faffed around bit getting everything together, but it all worked out in the end. 😀

@tanja.y.33 I wouldn't sell this one as I made it for me. However if I made another as a commission I'd probably have to charge £1200 - £1400. Making 64 draws looks quick on camera but is several days work on that alone!! 😀

@@TraditionalTimes Thank you very much for your prompt reply. Know that there is a lot of work in such a piece and the price is nothing to say about. Very good work. Love and Respect.

@Birchwoodbldrs I used both pin nails and glue throughout the carcass build. About 19:24 you can see me smearing the glue before I inserted the first end piece. All the internal vertical partitions were glued before I used the pin nails. The small panel pins may well be strong enough to hold everything together, especially with the number I used on the ends, but gluing always adds to the strength with this kind of butt joint. 😀

Thaks. Appreciate the kind comment. 🙂

Thanks. 😁

Thanks 😁

Thanks.

@nomadmakes I agree, totally. Have just this week bought a van so that when we have moved house, I will be able to scan the local freecycle groups in search of upcycling and materials opportunities... So many possibilities... :)

@NomadMakes I love a good jig... and this is a well used jig now, as am half way through building a second set of these draws and it is so useful. If a task is repetitive and nequires accuracy then the time thinking about / designing a jig is never wasted. :)

Thank you... 🙂

Yeah. Mostly 1-1.5mm for a sofa. Anything thicker would be a waste.

It wasn't my first attempt at this... ended up copying the basic structure from a set of library card drawers... 😀

Your welcome

Thankyou 😁

Thank you for the kind comment. 😀

Absolutely... amazing what you can achieve with a little thought and a bit of ingenuity... 😁

Hey. Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated.

Thanks. Appreciate the acknowledgement. 😁

Empty, it is very easy to lift... maybe 8-10lb (I've not weighed it)... Full... impossible unless you take most of the drawers out... :)

I;ve never tried either myself. I tend to just use as is. However I do remember seeing a youtube video a while back on the subject of restaining old leather. I'll see if I can dig it out.

Have so many ideas... including extra storage options... it's just the workshop is completely packed up and when I move the first job will be to build a new workshop from scratch. Thanks for the kind comment. Stick around. Workshop build will be underway before the end of the summer. 😁

Thanks. I've had it just over a year and love it so much am in the middle of building a second one.

... and the best bit is almost all of it can be recycled... Wooden fram can be reused for woodworking (or keeping warm if nothing else), padding and foam can be bagged for future upholstery projects, metal can be recycled via the scrap man... really thre is very little that need go to waste. If I have encouraged one person to recycle a sofa... am a happy man... :)

Thanks. Am busy moving house and packing up the workshop, but format is something very much on my mind. The evidence is certainly there that this type of format is much more popular than others, so watch this space... :)
