Do it yourself

Honestly, if you don’t who will?

The Banquette..nearly done now

The foam was done, the Dacron glued and some quick slipcovers made from some random Ikea fabric that I had laying around. Actually, three different fabrics but that is another tale; just enough to get the banquette up and rolling so we could spend a week in heaven.

NaNoWriMo in a DIY blog? Huh? It’s all about Project Management.

NanoWrimo, it’s all about Project Management.

The Banquette: Coming along nicely

When last we visited the Great Banquette Conversion of 2009 Chris was making himself stupid by curve-fitting with a belt sander. Mercifully for all concerned, he went back to the tried and true Compass Method that we used so successfully before. We completed both seats and the table top then added some Ikea drawers, which are going to work just fine. There is quite a bit of clearance at the back of an Ikea cabinet, even though we cut away part to fit, the drawers fit perfectly.
