Today Adam's Dad came to help him make a start on the dining table (while I kid wrangled). Adam has been talking about building one for a very long time so it's nice to make a start finally!
The pictures are a little out of sequence but here they are using the jointer to make the timber flat or to square it. And it's purely a man cave, there is so much junk it terrifies me to think of moving so here we stay!
Here is the timber stacked under our back stairs. Adam has collected it over time from wood shows etc.
Selecting the good bits. (They are using silky oak).
It is also processed through a 'thicknesser' which true to its name, ensure the thickness of the wood is straight/parallel. And here is a processed piece of silky oak ready for building. It's a very pretty wood!
It took them longer than they thought today so it will take a while to complete!
