It's official!!

Today I have registered the business with the tax man and have openned a business account with the bank!

The Wood Bee Workshop is now an official business!!

The Router Table

I noticed a fence that can be bought for a lot of money that is very accurate. That would cost about £250 to £350, this cost me about £6 and some scrap bits of wood and is accurate to 20th of a millimeter (1.97 thousandths of an inch!)

It has felt like an age trying to get the time to finish my router table. I have finally managed to make the drawers for it.

I

have been making these boxes while working out what I need to do to start as a business for someone who asked for them. I changed the way I lined the boxes with these as well.

An earring chest

This is a chest that I showed at exhibition. It didn't have anything inside, but a lady saw it and wanted it to keep her earrings in. So, I made the tray inserts to suit her needs.

The white wood is Maple and the darker wood is Sapelle.

Why this blog?

I can be a bit of a blogg obsessive, so maybe having somewhere to post what I have been doing in my workshop might encourage me to get in it!
