I built a cubby house for knix for my youngest daughter about 16 years ago out of display panels and stuff being discarded after a shop refit.

I haven't been on much of late,as I have been trying to get so many jobs done before my surgery on Thursday,Not Forking looking forward to that(surgeon said I'd be out of action for almost twelve months)so had to get cracking on with my jobs.
First was the Kitchen,strip out and refit(not finished but good enough to use)
(click to show/hide)
and as I wasn't real happy with mark 1 front door,now that I have more equipment(which I have been getting bit by bit)this door Mark2 only took me two days from start to fitting,the new thicknesser/Planer I have recently acquired made short work of what took me ages on the last door in planing and sanding

amongst all that I've clean out the office made a crude Hospital Bed base that can be raised one end,as I'm told I'm going to need it,or I have to sleep in a recliner for the first couple of weeks.
