In this video I restore a vintage walnut writing desk by Henredon, model 45-2500. It had some serious problems including missing veneer, dents, bumps and scratches, missing handles and it was in desperate need of a refinish and general freshen up!

I had lots of leftover offcuts of salvaged oak floorboards from when I built my garden room floor, and I needed a piece of furniture in the garden room - something with a cabinet, a drawer, and something we can perch drinks on!
It's time to fit out the interior of the garden room, and ocne again I'm using as many salvaged materials as possible! There is insulation to be installed, walls and ceiling to be boarded, I'll be adding panelling too in order to strengthen the 6 and 9mm MDF that I'm using, then decoration and furnishings plus some nice solid oak window trims to make... There's a lot to do!
About 8 months ago I bought the Mirka DEROS RS 600 (NOT SPONSORED) on a bit of a whim - I was offered a good deal and it looked interesting. But I didn't expect to be reaching for it as often as I am! Here's why I think it's a fantastic addition to my workshop.
We needed a fence and gate to keep our toddler away from a dangerous area of the garden, so in this video I show how I make one that is really inexpensive, simple and strong. I also add some hedging, plus a water butt and guttering to the garden room I built recently to complete the border!
I'm attempting to build a fully insulated garden room for a tiny budget of £500. In this episode, I fit windows and doors, make and fit the cladding material, struggle with a silly drainage issue and install decking outside and make some nifty acrylic window sills!
I'm attempting to build a fully insulated garden room for a tiny budget of just £500 using salvaged materials and some creative thinking. In this video I need to get the building weathertight before the rain comes - it was a challenging few days!
I am attempting to build a fully insulated garden room for a tiny budget of just £500 using salvaged materials and some creative thinking. In this episode I frame the walls and an apex roof structure.
I've set myself a challenge: to build a garden room for my family for under £500 using salvaged materials. I want to show that it's possible to build AMAZING things with a TINY budget and some CREATIVE thinking.
In this one I build and insulate the floor using some gorgeous solid oak floorboards, PIR insulation and framing timber - the cost will surprise you!
