There is nothing I like more this time of year than spending a few hours in the workshop making something. It doesn’t have to be fancy or even particularly complicated so long as it gets the blood moving. Like most workshops that are situated in the garden, it is not practical to heat all year round so a bit of physical exercise will soon warm the body while the little heater is working overtime to take the chill off the space. …

It may look simple but it is not as easy as it looks – have a go and you will see.  For the more ambitious Keith smith is building an oak kitchen unit to match an existing installation. Even if you are not…

As the summer moves on it is an ideal time to get to grips with the garden projects. Following on from Keith Smith's lead last month, Alan Holtham has got the garden project bug and is in his workshop building a tall planter for the garden. Faced with a small budget, Alan makes the most of what he can find in the way of materials.  Duncan Rose designs and builds a coffee table in ash. The table incorporates turned legs. Not owning a…
