Thought I'd show people what I do

We make bespoke kitchens, this is an island end which will have a circular chopping block on top.

Now off to be sprayed

Thanks for looking, hope it made sense

Thanks for taking the time to post that, very interesting seeing how it's done.

Cracking job, a nice piece of work.

Fantastic work, how do you get on with the Mirka Ceros?

Been looking at these for a while, I have 2 festool RO150's but fancy a change at some point

[evo4a]

Using the same principles we can do any shapes and sizes

The Mirkas are great, I have 2 of them and 2 dynabrade ones, Mirkas are better.

I have some festool stuff, routers, dominos and saws and it's all fantastic but because I have 5 guys working for me the tools get a bit to much abuse to justify Festool prices. £900 for a router is daft, especially when they get dropped quite a bit. Drop a festool and it breaks, drop makita and dewalt and it tends to be OK.

Fantastic!

Bookmarked and hoping for future updates with other work...

I agree, a lot of my stuff is festool but drills/jigsaws etc I can't justify festool prices so makita 18v for me.

Although I do love my kapex....

I have a Kapex 120, but it plays second fiddle to the Altendorf.

Just had to google that, wish I hadn't

Wow, looks very impressive. It's really good to see this kind of work when the world works mainly on off the shelf principles these days.

I'm taking it that your work is reassuringly expensive? Just out of idle interest, how much would a cabinet like that cost?

[williamp]

That is a great skill. Can you make Morgan wheelarches??

It's very difficult to put a price on curved work, if I had a choice I wouldn't do it as I'm convinced we lose money on them. However, if we don't do them we can't compete against the likes of Mark Wilkinson, Smallbone of devizes, Martin Moore, Tom Howley etc etc.
We tend to come in at about 30% cheaper than these guys, that can be a saving of tens of thousands.
So I suppose I do them to land the £50K plus kitchens. I'd rather not give a price but yes they are definitely reassuringly expensive, but cheaper than the above kitchen companies

If the price is right I'll give anything a go

I wish I made something tangible. I love wood. Gorgeous.

Try a model boat kit. Lots of curves, things to learn, not too much lost if you mess it up and a lovely ornament if you don't.

That's good to see how it's done! A very satisfying job I bet
