We need some railway sleepers for the garden! I didnt think they would be that much! Cheers Adam, yeah its definitely better than some of the stuff we looked at.

We bought an 'oak' coffee table from oak furniture land when we first moved in. NEVER AGAIN!!!

Hopefully i have sussed it thanks to Tazz. These are some display cabinets i made using MDF and alot of routering. The doors were the easiest bits to make. And also some drawers i built into one of my stair cases at home for extra shoe storage.

I mithered the cabinet builders/installers on a job i am doing at the moment and when i told them i was sawing scaff boards down the length they said "f that, bring em to the workshop and we will run them through the thicknesser for you" BOOM.

That will save me some time then

Thanks for the replies, i need to start hunting for hinges next. I have already sourced the scaff poles for the hanging rails

not sure if the coat hanger hooks will fit over scaffold pole. why not use 20mm galv. conduit?

I have used the metal store. They are brillaint tbh. I am using them to build my gym equipment in the backyard, unbeatable on price and the gear looks really good.

I checked the coat hangers would fit

and Ryan your furniture looks epic mate! Well done!!

 

[RyanCheetham]

Thanks mate. Strangely enough it was actually cheaper for me to custom build them than it was to buy the chipboard equivalent from Ikea.

how do you attach a pic to a post. would like to put up a pic of my shelving attempt

 

[RyanCheetham]

I had to ask Tazz. You have to upload them to a third party hosting site such as Photo bucket and they create a link to embed the photo on the forum

 

[The Cavalry]

Ok. Will look into that one. Thanks

I tried that but it asked for a url. Wouldn't take the pic from computer. Might just be me being a muppet!

Not all members can upload pictures via insert image icon...If you can only select url, you will need to use a free image storing site, such as photobucket. The copy & paste url address from photo.

Thanks Paul,
Yes they are nice houses but lots of money for them I think they went for £895,000 for the 4 bed when built a year ago
