Complex joinery jobs

[simonm]

What's the most complex joinery job you have ever done? I have just spent a good hour measuring for trellis off a stone wall with a pergola and decking! The garden is on a slope and curves around so a million measurements was needed

i had to make an octagonal deck, i made a scale model from battens for the frame and then replicated in in full size, turned out great

it took me 20 hours to cut 2 timber joists made from 8 individual timbers for a roof as they were on display from inside and the joints had to be perfect

the table and benches i did for jon was fun but getting the table top flat was a pain with only hand tools.

Not very glamorous but always think fitting skirting boards nicely is a right PITA. All those internal and external miters that aren't quite 45 degrees because the wall is off. New jobs never so bad as things can be square and true from the off.

 

Here is an odd one that the design was the complex bit and construction was interesting working on something so big and heavy on your own.

The year I spent rebuilding my 1930's fishing boat in 2001 and the hollow spars. More recently cutting a valley on my house and building a Timber framed reception area for a local campsite. This needed to be as big as possible in a tight space.
