This chair, one of a set of six, had a broken back. It had been repaired before but the glue and the doweling was not adequate. I tackled this repair by using the repair dowels as a sleeve for the replacement dowels and used dowels 3” long. All the old glue had to be scraped off the joints and then the whole lot was glued up and cramped using a Spanish tourniquet and a stiffener to prevent the back from being out of line.
Storage Unit
Media storage centre. This is a good use of a corner of a room, the drawers contain the cd’s and dvd’s, there is a section for vinyl and a bookcase. Note the underbookcase insert for cable management and the raised table for the t.v. and the space under that for the inevitable ‘box of tricks’ . This was constructed out of American White Oak veneered MDF and solid oak drawers with all edges lipped in solid oak. The customer is finishing the project in a wax or clear polish.
Chimney breast storage cupboards
Chimney breast storage cupboards with floating shelves. Filling in each side of a chimney breast has its advantages, tidying up an otherwise cluttered room, storage like this enables the usual stuff like t.v. and music centres to be accommodated whilst inside the cupboard the broadband box (never a pretty thing to look at) and cables are all out of sight. The floating shelves above are useful for books, ornaments or such like. With these particular cupboards the doors rather than being similar to a Shaker design are beaded with a miniature. Torus moulding that matches joinery detail within the room and also ‘softens’ the overall visual impact. The side cheeks either side of the shelves finish off the project nicely.
