Made this wee coffee table a while ago from some slabs of beautiful burred oak, it was a pleasure to work with and couldn't wait to get it finished so i could get the varnish on it, not the biggest coffee table around but believe me it's a two man lift. Cheers for now Pete.

 

Yet another of your bril bits of work, wonder where that wood came from, hhmmm, just about to email you

Not pretty but structural. This weekend has seen completion of the structural timber of the extension. The last bit was the most fiendishly complex of the lot, connecting the end of the ridge beam in the extension to the middle of the beam spanning the first floor opening. What made it particularly difficult is that you can't lift the ridge beam up to use a conventional mortice and tenon joint, so a sliding tenon was needed. The space is only 16" high and has joists and the water tanks right behind it so access is terrible, with the mains water supply running right past it and there is no way to turn this off.

 

Procedure was make all the bits, slide it into place from behind, line up the sliding tenon and push it down using wedges in the side holes (adding the short upper block when halfway home) and then finally peg in place.

 

Turned out OK I think, with a certain sense of relief...
