I finished fitting some oak cabinets I'd made for a customer last night, they were really pleased with the results and so was I, so I thought I'd put them on here as well as my other blog.
It's been tricky to fit this in around looking after the children, with late nights planeing and gluing up boards plus a few Saturdays on site fitting it all. Making everything myself from scratch takes longer but at least I have no one else to rely on and I can guarantee that I'm going to be at the customers house when I say I am (something that's very important to me).

I'm sorry that this isn't a post on my usual self sufficiency type thing, but I thought that as this is my part time income that helps support us I think it's interesting to show what I do.
Thanks for looking!
Great looking cabinets kev

ReplyDeleteWe had cupboards and glass fronted cabinets put back into our lounge when we moved it......they look lovely in a period hone
It really does make good use of alcoves to have fitted cupboards and a couple of shelves in them.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely. :-)
