As I mentioned in a previous post, I’m building a reception desk for an advertising agency. Here’s how it happens

Then draw things a bigger and posher to take to the Advertising Men:
When the Advertising Men decide what they like, draw it to scale with all manner of tricky measurements:
Buy some wood, cut it to suitable lengths and lay it up:
Clamp it up:
Screw it down:
Take it for a fitting:

Wow. For once I'm very nearly speechless. I like the drawings as much as the woodwork.

Aye, your right, Mr Jones, there's no carpentry going on here. McFugger doesn't hold with carpentry, what's the good of a hidden dovetail when a four inch nail's all that's needed?
