My latest projects

[nevyn68]

For the entrance I have added to the bench seat.

I built a blackboard.
This is the sleeper I cut all the redwood from.

I cut 5 pieces. 4 for the blackboard and 1 for the coat hooks (pics later).

And joined them together with 45 angle cuts.

Oiled.

Mounted on wall and drawn on.

Then I cut the last strip to fit the opposite wall.
I drilled holes for 3 coach screws. Screwed them in as far as they needed to go and cut the back off them.
And the end result is.

Then entrance to the house is starting to come together.

Miss 8 did the Panda and Mr 13 did the HEY and rabbit.
There is no chalk for visitors but that may change so they can leave a note as long as they keep it clean.

Did anyone notice the placement of the power tools?
Brand awareness..........

Thanks guys. The whole lot is supposed to look like they were just thrown together in a rustic fashion.
The Mrs wants and entire outdoor dining setting (table and 2 bench seats) like the bench seat in the first photo.
I need a chainsaw to do that and right now I don't have one.
If I have to buy a chainsaw then there goes my chance at more ram and a better graphics card.

But what the Mrs wants she eventually gets.

Someone posted the latest Australian Handyman Magazine in the eBooks section. Looks like you've got that already covered and then some. Looks really good.

While I'm more of an English Drawing Room decor kind of guy, I really like how you were able to capture the rustic look. Particularly like the color you chose.


PS - never turn down the chance to buy more tools or RAM. :whistling: :mrgreen:
