woodbloke Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Hello all, I've just joined the site after having been given directions to it by another fellow county man, G S Haydon. I hail from Salisbury in the UK which is around 10 miles from Stonehenge...in fact I used to drive past the stones every day on my way to work. Until I retired around 18 months ago! I have a well equipped 'shop at home and like to turn out smaller stuff like cabinets, with a fair amount of influence from a certain JK. I've been making sawdust since the early 70's and worked briefly as a professional maker a few years ago. The pic above is something I finished recently...an English Walnut cabinet on an Ash stand. The stand doesn't look right as the colour contrast is too great and it's a bit 'chunky', so it's being replaced with a Walnut stand which will be a little finer in proportion. The cabinet doors are matched panels, as are the back ones: ...and there's a set of three drawers inside: Looking forward to joining in the conversations and banter - Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlingenfelter Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Welcome! Very nice cabinet. Be sure to share more pictures when you finish the new stand. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G S Haydon Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Hi Woodbloke, Good to see you here, it's a nice place to be. That cabinet is really great, for what it's worth I think it looks great on the stand. Your website is also really good. I think you might like Eric1978's work, he's a Krenov man too and was kind enough to refer me to "Cabinetmakers Notebook". Look forward to your input.

Eric. Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Welcome aboard, Rob. Good to see another JK junkie around. I haven't gotten to the cabinet on stand yet, but it's on the short list. Probably later this summer or next winter for that one. You do nice work...look forward to seeing more in the future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very much for the nice words of welcome. If you have a quick peek at the Facebook page indicated above (and possibly a couple of 'likes' please?) you'll see a few more bits and pieces that I've done. Many thanks again - Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
