Workshop Weekly
​March
Home Office in Oak and Walnut and hand painted in F&B Worsted.


element_settings.Image_30621876.default
​ We are​ making this home office for one of our    regular clients who are both well versed in our    production process. They like to view their          blossoming commission on this blog in  conjunction with visits to the workshop to view  their furniture first hand. (with their beautiful  dog). They have an opportunity to choose the  solid timbers and sheets that we use to make  their furniture and it also gives us the chance to  talk through any changes or additions. Not to mention the added benefit of sharing a coffee and the  odd biscuit! So not too many pictures here.

​If you are viewing this month's workshop weekly for the first time and you would like to see the cabinet and frame making process please look at WW 2016.  If you would like to see how our 5 piece doors go together, have a look at our 80 second door making process in WW May & June 2017. 
Primer coat in plummet and first top coat in Worsted.
Last of the top coats drying and hardening for next weeks fit.
Top Coated Skirts will have a last coat on site.
Frames attached to the cabinets. In the bottom of the cab you can see the solid oak dovetailed frame for the bespoke filing drawer.
Filing drawer. A test fit before the the oak is lacquered. No more plastic files!
Your top drawer also dovetailed in solid oak. A much better alternative to metal framing.
Front facing view of filing cabinet bottom drawer and top drawer with fronts attached.
Filing drawer all lacquered and ready to be fitted.
Top drawer complete with non slip matting
Looking for the colour and growing patterns in a piece of rough sawn walnut is not easy. Mark assures me when this is planned it will look stunning.
The rough sawn timber has been planned and passed through the thicknesser. You can see that this tree has had quite an interesting life by the growth lines. The lacquer will bring out an array of beautiful shades enhancing the depth and character of the timber.
Ripping the walnut on the panel saw down the length of the grain then cutting to size for solid lipping on all tops.
The Walnut is fixed to the oak top and hand planned until both surfaces are level.
Just look at the amazing grain and colour on these upstands.
Nature never fails to amaze me. Absolutely gorgeous.
Once the desk tops have been solid lipped they come into the paint and finishing area for lacquer. This piece is drying after just one coat.
Cabinet top has a walnut solid lip. This is ready after two coats and sanding to be fixed on the cabinet.
Fixed to the Cabinet.
Right hand corner under desk front facing pull out storage.
A handy shelf for bits and bobs whilst the space beneath will fit A4 Lever Arch Files easily accessible from the front of your desk.
Your complementary Oak dovetailed 'In Tray' John.
Made to accept A4 folders or plastic wallets if you prefer. Please remember the Clear Desk Policy!!
Personally I think it would look better with MJCM Ltd brochures!!
We will put on the skirts after the carpet fitters have been.
