#stormdarragh came to visit me last week. It didn’t go well. It required quite an operation to clean it up.

Finally finished the cherry king size bed. In my #woodworking career so far this has certainly been the biggest project in terms of timber quantity. Only very basic joinery, but challenging elsewhere. Now on to smaller things!

The #woodworking continues now that I’m able to get back into the workshop. The headboard went together well, and now it’s on to the footboard and legs at the other end.

One of the many problems of #woodworking in a small workshop is that you have to assemble big pieces elsewhere. This king size bed still has a way to go, but bits are arriving in the right room at last, and I have a helper to get it built.

I will. It wasn’t supposed to be a labour of love - in theory it’s easier because the joinery doesn’t need to be as precise, but logistically it’s been a nightmare! Here’s the headboard layout, that I did the initial cuts on today.

So, I’ve managed to get back into the workshop over the last few weeks. I’m on the home stretch now for something I started in April 2023. Not quick progress, because timber was so big it was really difficult to dimension in my workshop. Almost there now though! #woodworking
