Alaskan Milled Bathroom.

Looks a bit rough mate. You wanna plug all those screws for a start.

Plugging is easy, just get a block of wood, drill same size hole you used to rebate screws.

That's your template.

Now get a baton of same timber and turn it into dowel with a chisel or disk sander/grinder.

Pare it down so it's a tight tapered fit, check it in the template as you go then spludge some wood glue on it and hammer it in.

Once it's in tight you can saw off and sand it.

I'd be marched out by the ear if I did anything like that anywhere other than the shed.

Looks cool though. Lumpy can be good

Excellent. The edging,skirting and contemporary detail is fantastic.This is what wood in a modern environment should look like. I like it allot.

Maybe, just maybe, I didn't want to plug it, in case I change my mind and want to take that rail down.

 

oh yeah, ta for telling me how to make a dowell, i'd never have worked that out for myself...

 

sometimes, I come across a right dick..

brilliant peice of craftmanship. ( not sure about electric socket tho ), like the mixture of timber used used. What did you use to seal it all.

water based lacquer. to keep socket low, and still get a plug in over a 1.5" skirt, you have to do something....

Most excellent sir!

Well congratulations Mr Troll, I am that right dick.

 

You can drill a plug out no sweat.

Fabulous bit of work.

Been tempted to get an Alaskan for a wee while.

 

I reckon if I let Mrs M see these photos I'll get the money next day!!!
