What Can You Make From A 2x4 Board?

(1/6) > >>

GillE:
One of the woodwork forums I frequent started a competition a few months ago to see what each member could make from a standard length of 2x4 construction grade pine board.  The deadline for competition entries is Christmas Day and, although I may struggle to make the deadline, here's how my entry is progressing.

Just to prove I once had a piece of 2x4:



It got cut into these components:



Then it was reassembled into a coffee table:



I'm going to decorate the upper rails with Tudor roses and other motifs to turn it into a Genuine Antique Tudor Coffee Table :)x :





Those motifs are still far from complete and they may not all be finished by the deadline.  Anyway, I thought I'd let everyone know what I've been up to in my workshop on those rare days when the temperature has risen above freezing.  If I seem to visit the forum less than normal over the next couple of weeks, you'll know why - I've moved out of the cold workshop and into the warm kitchen :) .

Simon:
Looks very sturdy, Gill.  Good luck with making the deadline!  :thumb:

sam:
nice!

Clive:
Very impressive Gill.

Rik:
Words fail me, Gill. All that from a piece of 2x4... Can you build me a shed next, please? ;)
