Idle Hands

The cassette table project is finally complete! 🙌

This one turned out rather nicely in the end too.

I had no idea what I was doing, and have very little prior experience with woodworking. But I still managed to create a sturdy coffee table shaped exactly like an old cassette tape.

Made from top quality pine wood, with copper hairpin legs to complete the simple but rustic design.

All it took were some simple hand held tools, a steady hand (or two), and a few "think outside the box" moments to slap together this idea. I made some simple measurements of an actual cassette tape I still have lying around, but drew the concept out freehand and figured out the whole thing on the fly.

Super chuffed by the final result! I hope you are too. 😎

If you'd like one of these custom made for you, then let me know in the comments below, or send me a message.

Or if you have a different design that you'd like to see me try, I have two "Idle Hands" again now...

"The devil makes work for Idle Hands".

So, what can be achieved by harnessing this power I hear you ask?

Well, here I am trying to find out... All without actually selling my soul to the Dark Lord himself.

I have very little previous experience with woodworking and carpentry, but one thing I do have a lot of at the moment is "Idle Hands".

So I have scoured the internet for interesting and challenging projects to sink my teeth into, and will be attempting to create some fantastic works of art out of wood.

If this sort of thing is of any interest to you, do be sure to follow the page for lots of updates on how I have been getting along so far!

I will be regularly posting photographs of the process, as well as any tips and tricks as I learn them along the way.

Thanks for tuning in, and welcome to my page. Please get in contact if you have any questions about anything I post on here, or if you would like to purchase anything from the archives. If you have seen any designs that you think I might appreciate and would like to see me build, do let me know as I love a good challenge!

Everything you see here is made at home, by one guy, with no experience in carpentry. Just a love of this age old skill and a lot of spare time.

Ps. If you get a chance and can share my page (or posts) it would help me out a great deal. The one thing I am no good at is self promotion!

Thank you, and I'll speak to you soon! ✌️
