I'm not particularly knowledgeable of or skilled at pinball but always been fond of and fascinated by it - so when I learned virtual pinball was a thing, it was an easy choice for a project.

Many thanks to interior designer Jane Cappleman for calling me back to her client Susie for this follow-up piece to the previous sideboard.

The brief was to create a cabinet to contain the usual array of TV miscellany; and particularly to hide the large bank of sockets/wires on the wall (as se...

Cabinet? Sideboard? Credenza? Who knows. Received this commission (via interior designer Jane Cappleman) from a client who wanted a large solid oak sideboard.

As well as upright, these work just as well horizont...

Detail shows drawers - 3 each side - doesn't show them extended on bottom-mounted bearing runners, for easy opening and closing.]

Oak garden furniture - table and four stools. Visible mortice and tenon joints hold the structure together. This involved a lot of machining!

Oak sideboard, made from more figured oak. Designed as media unit, 6 drawers plus 3 drop down doors for DVD players etc.

Detail shows handcut dovetail drawers; edges of cabinet jointed with Japanese-style dovetails, inclined in two planes. Tricky!

Set for hall, consisting of console table and umbrella stand. Mitre jointed; the tapering umbrella stand requiring some precision sawing to joint nicely. Limed finish.
