Just making the finishing touches to my campervan conversion (from police riot van). Never done anything like this before! Box jointing I’m almost good at now…
Built in Shelving unit, fully closed housing joints, so barely a screw in sight! Made from 6" wide Gravel boards, 3 deep to give needed size, cabinets for log fire equipment, location for heated trolly and storage ovenware. Wife then completed a antique wood staining effect. Middle section has a tree design shelving inset for a bit of interest.
I’d like to enter but can’t find the website’s method of posting pictures directly from my computer to this forum. I don’t use social media or a cloud storage facility so can’t post a link to a pic in any of those … but the competition blurb says that it’s possible to post pics direct to the forum…?
Alternatively you should be able to simply drag the image file from your local computer (e.g. the Desktop) onto the Reply entry box or copy paste and it will automatically upload for you (check the preview on the right of your Reply to confirm).
If you’re still having problems please let us know.

I am over 16 and made this treasure chest from old pallets and angle iron. I kept most of the marks on the wood to give it age and wear. The rivets are just upholstery studs. it is approx. 2’ x 1’ x 18"
This is a bedding or washing chest in oak, made in the Cotswold Arts & Crafts style. It lives at the bottom of a Cotswold-style A&C queen-size bed also of oak. It’s frame & panel construction with a few typical Cotswold motifs such as half-cogged dovetails and pinned through tenons. The lid and the floor are slatted to allow the cloth things in it to “breathe”. The bottom slats also include cedar to see-orf the moths.
An electric guitar, I built from scratch, for my daughter. The body is Mahogany from my old front door, and I hand carved the neck from Birdseye Maple. Thanks for looking.
I have another on the to-do list as a wedding present for some friends. This will be a bit more elaborate and include a till, a coopered lid and fully-cogged dovetails to join four solid (not frame & panel) sides.
