Project Merlin
Hello Folks, :cool: I haven't really been in the woodworking zone during the last week, but I have done a little bit. I was scheduling the next update for when the build was in its completed skeletal form, but today, I just fancied having a go with the new backdrop, so I've taken a few photos...- Pr.Merlin

Update No. 3. FRONT & REAR FRAME DRY ASSEMBLIES With over 200 mortices to make throughout the project, I decided to set up the small bench morticer from my old workshop when I was making furniture professionally.

Howdy. An update - although progress is slow. :cool: I've been undecided about various elements of the build and after much dithering, I have made some very important decisions. :smiling: I wasn't sure whether to make the main frames using a hardwood or softwood. I have now decided on a...- Pr.Merlin

Hello Folks! :smiling: I've just joined the group (thanks Admin) and this is my first post. This is going to be a lengthy build. Twenty years ago, my dream was to design & build a bespoke oak framed Tudor styled house for myself, which I code named 'Project Merlin'. I completed the...- Pr.Merlin
