In this video I make a ring box using some mystery wood.  I carved a decorative design in to the lid, and also use some bits from the workshop to make the inside of the box to hold the ring in place inside the box.

The technique that I use to make the box is similar to that used in a bandsaw box design - i.e. it ends up looking like one solid piece of wood with grain continuation running around the box, with the inside of the box hollowed out.

In this video I'm going to make a ring box.

In this video I'll be repairing and restoring a set of mid century modern Ercol Windsor 608 or 684 dining chairs made in 1960 on behalf of a client. This is a furniture repair and restoration video.

The main problems with the chairs were loose glue joints in both the spindles that support the backrest, and in the chair frames that support the seat pad.  In addition to that, the finish on the chairs was badly worn and needed rejuvenating.

In this video I'll be answering your questions.  This is part 2 of 3 as there was too much to fit in to one video. 

In this one I answer questions about my favourite youtube channels, my cat Dylan, collaborating with YouTubers, whether I could see myself incorporating CNC in to my work, my dream furniture project, what my workshop is worth, my favourite impact drivers, YouTube maker advice, my musical history playing in bands for 25 years, skills I'd like to learn in future  plus there's a bonus woodworking project at the end

In this video we are making our own custom handmade DIY laminate kitchen worktops / countertops using birch plywood and a laminate sheet.  I say we, but actually my friend Danny (professional joiner and fitter) did practically all of the work on this project, I basically just held the camera!

The laminate that we chose is by Polyrey and it's called Zeste Coco

The 24mm birch plywood that we used is available at any good timber merchant - but they may need to order it in (usually only takes a few days at the most)
