Reclaimed Wood project

[stagedamager]

Over Christmas at work, we had a cold water main burst due to the cold weather. Now that is another story but the short version is, is that we had to have one of our Front of House function rooms refurbished including the floor. Now, me being me, and always haveing an eye out for things, i saw an oppurtunity, and managed to get about 60 square metres of water damaged floor. Some of this will hopefully go down as the floor in Judith Ann, but the rest i planed back, and built a couple of Galley units. Being a wooden hull they are built as free standing....just in case, and will be bolted in rather than permanently fixed. They have taken about 2 months to do, in amongst work, and baby, but are finally ready for a nice coat of Danish Oil, and installing!!!

That's impressive, all the better for being made from reclaimed timber..

[stagedamager]

so far in total, minus labour, they have cost 70 quid, for fixings and Danish oil, even the sink was free!!!!!!

[Barry]

Well they look marvelous - congratulations on your craft work

[stagedamager]

Thanks Bazza, i feel its been worth all the hard graft in the end, now all thats left is a wall unit......not this month though!!

[Chris-B]

Hi Dan, this is an amazing bit of craftwork, much better then very good.

 

I would never have expected fine work like this made by someone that writes under the name of "stagedamager".

 

Cheers,

 

Peter.

That's the beauty of Internet forums, names can be deceiving!! I'm a Stage Manager and Theatrical Carpenter with a man shed full of tools and not enough hours in the day to do stuff Due to working heavily unsocial hours and there we have it. Stage management are known as stage damagement in work so guessed it's a viable username!!!

I think you should change your name to Stageundamager

 

Brilliant stuff, Sir!

Good stuff!...and that sink unit is a perfect example of how to deal with the twists and turns of a proper boat.

[sociable_hermit]

Noice.

 

Ever thought about going into boat fitting?

[Timleech]

Nice job, what sort of wood?

I know, it's Floor Wood.

The work of a master craftsman. And a brilliant idea to have a catflap in the sink unit.

[stagedamager]

It's junckers beech flooring, which has been well and truly butchered one way or another. Cat flap is for coal, good job we've got black cats!!!

I have thought about boat fitting, if I ever get bored of theatre!!!

It's junckers beech flooring

Interesting. It doesn't look pale enough for beech - has it been treated at all?

I suspect it's the light, but it had 11 years of wear and relacquering before I got it, it might be that, but it does appear slightly darker than it is

ETA,

its definately the light, the pictures don't quite do it justice!!!!

talking about Judith Ann, here is a picture of the foredeck, nearly finished

[stagedamager]

Looks really good, sorry work got in the way, and I couldn't make it!!!

[andywatson]

Let me add another big recommend. Well done - for both the design and construction.

 

If the cat doesn't like it under the sink you can keep chickens under there.

That hole is about the size of the door on my bantams' house.

That sounds like a plan!!!!

[stagedamager]

So after spending some time on the house and with my daughter, I finally have had a nice day to get back to the shed, and have finally finished the units, in glorious bank holiday weekend sunshine. 4 coats of Danish oil have really bought them alive. Now all I need to do is get them to Judith Ann, and help my dad crack on with the cabin in anticipation of getting her to Pelsall in June!!
