    Hi Bob,
    I noticed you didn't venture your dream project!
    My ultimate project would have to be a timber and aluminium open wheeled sports car, of my own design of course...but inspired by the '30's and 40's . Be shame to go that far and not be able to actually use the thing though.

    Keep dreaming!

    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    1. My kitchen

    2. Something totally amazing, artistic, ingenenious and usable that would involve hand carving, dovetails, squiggles, wooden hinges and latches, all my favourite timbers, that would win a major woodworking prize, and have a book written about it (and me) , that I'd be able to sell for lots of $$ so I could do more woodwork.... The only problem is, I don't know what it is yet:eek:

    Andy,
    I really don't have a dream project.

    I should finish building the CNC router that I started over 10 years ago.

    Have thought of making a glass display cabinet from a hollow tree from the Ash Wednesday bushfires

    Thinking of a chair design to suit a tree stump pedestal table, I don't really like twig furniture so its a matter of designing an eclectic chair to harmonize with the table.

    I like your period style car idea, now if it was a ute......

    A full size replica Avro504K, mainly wood and canvas, but such a lovely aircraft.

    Realistically, Grandperson clock.

    I'd add time to the disregarding list, Bob. What I'd like to make really is impossible: antiques.

    A kitchen is basically easy to make.

    Whether faceframe cabinets or small boxes all screwed together.

    Laminex is easy to work with a router.

    The main tools you need are a straightedge and power saw, electric drill with drill & driver bits and a small router and bits if you are going to make laminex benchtops.

    Reckon a heap of melamine faced chipboard is a good swap for a 4 barrel carby.
