Welcome to Little Red's Reno where I'm DIY renovating a 1970s Aussie coastal beach house. As a DIY specialist, professional renovator and furniture maker I love to share the process of designing and building. After swapping the high heels of a magazine editor for the steel caps of a woodworker, I can power up to show you the best tools and right techniques to design and finish your projects like a pro.
these are Multistore Solutions flatpack single drawer cabinets from a hardware store. The range is out of production now but there are many other brands.
I live in bushland Australia where there is a very real danger of termites. It's essential to use treated timber for framing here. It is also a very open room all year round.
Brilliant! Finally found JUST what I've been looking for because my plant stand (v similar to yours), would take at least a decade (give or take), to sand all the rust off. I'm going with your method. Thank you :)
Wow, looks great! And I was pleased that whilst the video didn't make it look simple, it also didn't look hard. Particulary for how professional the final product looks
I just scored it with a utility knife then snapped it. If I was going to make it again, I'd cut it to fit first. The instructions are on my website www.littleredindustries.com/renovate/2021/5/12/tiled-fireplace-hearth
I purchased the flatpack drawers from my local hardware store. You can see the full tutorial on my website littleredindustries.com/renovate/2021/5/6/build-a-banquette-with-fluted-timber-detail
I used off-the-shelf sleepers from a hardware store. Use any, so long as they are thick enough not to bend and will fit through the holes. The written instructions are on my website littleredindustries.com/howto/2021/11/28/rendered-block-bench
Very helpful ty. I have planned out a birdhouse I'm going to make for my dad and have been buying wood, tools and parts over the last year so I'm wanting to start building soon. That being said I also found him some tall wooden CD shelves next a wall in our area so I thought I could sand those down, put some lining inside then some soil for my dad to plant some herbs and whatnot. I'm just wondering if using this type of manual sanding is fine or should I buy an electrical sander. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
My vaporwave dream is coming soon! Thank you for the tutorial! Would you mind sharing the name of the sealing product that you used? Thanks in advance :D
