Floating Curved Seat…. In Iroko…. Some maths, some head scratching, some trial and error… we got there in the end, apart from the trim to the underside to hide the frame… I had one, and I broke it! 🤦‍♂️ there’s some LEDs to go in aswell👌🏼 . . . #gardenseating #gardenfeatures #iroko #seating #loveisland #construction

Don’t worry folks…. It’ll soon be summer and we can all work on those tan lines! Today…. It snowed! 😂❄️ #gazebo #gardenfeature #oakframe #carpentry #decorative

When you finally get to use your new machine…… and it genuinely is…. A MONSTER! Introducing the newest beast in our stable….. more to follow 👊🏻 . #powertools #newtool #mortiseandtenon #oakframe #oakbeam #beastmode

I’ve had the absolute privilege of driving this @msrtroadtechnology Ford Transit Custom MS-RT. I’ve been using it for work, but what’s surprised me is how much I’ve enjoyed using it as my daily vehicle! Will my next van be an MS-RT…… we’ll see…!!! #msrt #van #vanlife #fordtransitmsrt #transitcustom #ford #dailydriver

Decking…… this is how we do it….. there’s lots of ways of building a garden deck, this way suits us…. Including the ever controversial ‘smooth deck boards’ which is always a talking point! #decking #gardendecking #woodendeck #deck #carpentry #construction #howto

Our first ever Epoxy Resin River Table! Really excited about this project…. Today we paid a visit to a good pal of mine to use his CNC machine to flatten our Oak slabs…. What a bit of kit that is! We’ll be back once the epoxy is poured and cured to flatten it again. Stay tuned! Can anyone guess where this table is going to end up…. I’ll give you a clue… it’s NOT in the UK !👀🇲🇨 #epoxyriver #epoxyrivertable #cnc #cncmachining #oak #liveedgetable #carpentry

Bowtie Inlay….. the comedy size mallet looked like it could do with a bit of tlc, so I thought I’d have a go at a one of these bowtie or butterfly thingys….. thoroughly enjoyed it…. It’s not perfect, but I’m pretty happy with the way it looks….. 👍🏻 #wenge #inlay #inlaywood #marquetry #butterflyinlay #woodwork #carpentry

There’s sheds….. and then there’s SHEDS! Thoroughly enjoyed building this one! Just waiting on the glass…. It’s high spec! Brick plinth, 6” x1” cladding, Marley Mendip roof tiles, insulated walls with breathable membrane on the outside and vapour barrier on the inside… covered with tongue and groove boards. We didn’t insulate the roof…. But there’s nothing to stop that happening in the future 👌🏼 #shed #gardenshed #gardenbuilding #gardenroom #timberframe #construction #sheds #joinerpose

Maths…. This is how we worked out the size of each piece of Iroko for our circular seat from back in the summer….. sounds complicated but it’s not really…. Let me know how you would of worked it out…. (Hopefully i got the maths in the description correct…!) #floatingbench #iroko #floating #maths #construction #carpentry
