Making A Mid Century Modern Vinyl Storage Unit (part 2 of 2)

In part 1 I did all the cutting and assembly for the main carcass of the unit and in this video I need to build the leg assembly, add the back panel, apply finish and then deliver the unit at my brother's house

First I found some wood that looked to be a good match for the veneer on the chipboard panels that I could use to trim the chipboard edges. I used my thickness planer to plane it down to 15mm in thickness which is the same thickness as the panels. Then I set up a sacrificial fence at the front of the tablesaw using a scrap of pine and some hot glue.

Making A Mid Century Modern Vinyl Storage Unit (part 1 of 2)

In this video I'm going to be making a record unit for my brother. He recently bought some nice mid century style furniture and he's been looking for something in that style to hold his records but hasn't been able to find anything suitable, so he asked me to make something. The unit would need to be 1m wide, have two shelves to store records with dividers inbetween, and sit around 15cm off the floor so that it sits above power sockets on the wall where it's going to be placed. So I did a drawing in SketchUp and this is what we came up with.

Wooden Dog Beds - Mid Century Modern

In this video I'm going to be making some dog beds using some oak veneered MDF left over from the radio studio desks commission I did recently.

A lot of the dog beds you can buy tend to look a bit cheap and nasty, so the idea I had was to make something that looked more like a piece of furniture that will look good in someone's home.

I wanted to design something with a mid century modern feel mainly because that'd the style of furniture that I like.

Before I got started I first did some 3D drawings in SketchUp - that allowed me to not only h

Hitachi NR1890 Framing Nailer

In this video I'm going to talk about the Hiatchi NR1890 Brushless 18v Framing Nailer, I'll talk about my first impressions, the features, and I'll also put it through some tests in this video.

I've only used the nailer on one project so far, and that was the sheet materials storage rack I made for my lock up storage space.

This nailer is a relaitively new product and at the moment there is only one other battery operated framing nailer available to buy and that is the DeWalt DCN692 18v Brushless. That

Storage Rack For Sheet Materials (Plywood, OSB, MDF, Chipboard, Melamine etc)

In this video I'm going to build a sheet materials storage rack to hold all my plywood, OSB, melamine, chipboard and MDF.

I've already done a 3D drawing using SketchUp to design what I want to make. I designed the rack to be as compact as possible but also have the ability to hold a full 8ft by 4ft sheet. It's not often I use full sheets, because most of my work is with reclaimed materials but I still want the ability to be able to store them.

I based the dimensions for my rack to fit insie an alcove in my storage lock up, but if you
