    Nice job.
    My understanding from reading a Dept of Ag leaflet on animal deaths on farms is that it is the dead, dried out leaves that are poisonous.
    The other ones I recall are from licking busted lead acid batteries that are f**ked over the walls.
    copper poisoning from too many different animal feeds/supplements and not aggregating the copper content

    i think the red flesh of the berries is not poisonous, but every other part is to some extent.

    The Common Yew (Taxus baccata) is an ornamental tree. The taxine alkaloids contained in yew berries, needles or bark are poisonous. The lethal dose for an adult is reported to be 50 g of yew needles. Patients who ingest a lethal dose frequently die due to cardiogenic shock, in spite of resuscitation efforts.

    Managed to finish the build of the wardrobes in my daughters room.
    Was fairly tricky as I had to do all the cutting,nailing,screwing and painting in the room itself as I simply had nowhere else to do it (Small house with no garden)
    It turned out alright, the wee one loves it so I'm happy with that. Couple of little things I'd do differently. Like just one drawers instead of two and perhaps use better hinges.
    I still have a mural to paint on the front but functionally its built.
    Pull down rail storage and regular rail storage inside. Should help keep the room tidy at least :)

    Nice job. Looks great, glad you did a cut like that above the bed to stop head bashing and it looks good too. Well done.

    Thanks man,
    Yeah its certainly needed. Plus the mural is of a mountain scene so the little cabin alcove should tie in. When she is older it'll become a desk space

    Ooooh, that brings back memories! Building a "cubby-hole" bed (and room-divider) for my daughter in the attic room she shared with her brother, while both of them needed to use it every night. :D

    We moved to a more sensible house before she became an untidy teen ... whereupon she asked for a new "cubby-hole" bed to replace the one she'd left behind! :pac:

    Yeah I might be setting the bar too high for the next one. I'm sure the enthusiasm will wane a bit :)

    After a few months of slabbing, tiling & kitchen fitting, finally got around to making a few bits-planter & bird box for the war office :) Made from some spare plywood.

    i had a similar looking piece of wood before that someone claimed was olive ash.


  • Registered Users Posts: 659 ✭✭✭bamayang


    Cheers lads, don’t need an exact match so those two will do for a starting point.
    Wonder are carpentry store going to open next week?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 47,997 CMod ✭✭✭✭magicbastarder


    i ordered from them online last week, if that's any good? though if you need to eyeball wood before buying, i suspect that won't do.

    Finished this during the week. I had started it a few years ago, but got distracted. Fairly happy with it now. :)

    Made a new door for my workshop a few months ago. Made from Sapeale, pretty happy the way it turned out! First major joinery project.
