Sunday, 6 May 2012. I have rough shaped the base further, as much as is possible before I glue in the struts(they are currently dry jointed). I also made up the plugs to cover the plywood joints between each base piece,but haven't glued them in yet. These are currently being fumed with ammonia to darken them and give a nice contrast with the sycamore. But I got there in the end! Next job is to make up the blocks with angled holes that the struts terminate into at the top. Posted by Paul Tout Furniture.

News by... Paul Tout Furniture Designer-Maker: Fitted furniture work
http://paultoutfurniture.blogspot.com/2014/01/fitted-furniture-work.html
Tuesday, 7 January 2014. Here's a few pictures of some fitted bedroom furniture carried out a little while ago, finally got around to getting some pictures taken. It is a sprayed finish in "Slipper Satin" and has soft close drawers. The work also included a cantilevered sink unit, which due to the depth was a bit of a challenge. Some heavy duty bespoke steel brackets solved the problem, they are neatly hidden in a void in either side of the cabinet. Posted by Paul Tout Furniture. View my complete profile.

Wednesday, 1 January 2014. To start the year off, here's some pictures of a couple of recent commissions. The second table was made from locally sourced oak. The oak was used 'green' for the curved sections to allow the bends to be achieved through steam bending; minimising waste and allowing the grain to follow the curvature on the bent components. Scribed tenons were used into the legs and the glass was cut to have a complimentary curvature and soften the usually harsh edges. View my complete profile.

Tuesday, 24 April 2012. Well, as with many quite experimental ideas I have they end up taking a whole lot longer than I thought! I eventually managed to get the base joints tight all the way around using pieces of paper to adjust up and down on the shooting board to get the perfect angle. Then I came up with a way of clamping the whole piece using band clamps around screws. The screws are set at points which will later be removed during shaping. The helper didn't fill me with confidence. In anticipation ...

Friday, 1 June 2012. This week I have mostly been watching. Have a look at this link to see some Oak platters made a few months ago for talented local chef Simon Hulstone who has been appearing on the Great British Menu on BBC 2. Http:/ www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01jkc0h/Great British Menu Series 7 South West Starter/. The platters were designed to represent a running track to tie in with the Olympic theme. About to tune in to the final instalment of the show to see how he got on overall!

Saturday, 10 March 2012. Well I thought for my first proper post I would show you what I have been working on recently. It may not be freestanding furniture but from time to time I take on fitted furniture jobs aswell. These jobs present new challenges due to their scale, especially when working in such a small workshop as my own! Posted by Paul Tout Furniture. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
