Corner cabinet and a Bed

Sounds like my kind of room, I’ve had some close calls getting furniture and cabinetry into houses before. I guess sometimes it’s better to be lucky then good. Great looking stuff

Wow, beautiful, and great attention to detail, re: the right-hand and left-hand ropes to balance the appearance.

Superior work, mon ami. Nice job with the fitting. It’s how we overcome the FUBARs that crop up that makes us worthy of our hire.

Love both but especially impressed by the bed. I concur with Robb…I’m not sure that the balanced turnings would have occurred to me. I’m gonna take a wild guess that the bare ceiling light is temporary. ;)

I appreciate the pics…thanks for sharing.

Wow. Beautiful work.

As a younger man I worked for guy who built a kitchen for a condo, up 17 stories.

the pennisula sub assembly wouldnt fit into the elevator, nor would it wind up the 34 flights of stairs. remember that I was not the boss and for the most part I do what I am told. It was decided by the powers that be, that we would haul the big panel via a rope up the side of the building and over the balcony…...?

After much sweat the panel was pulled up and just when it was coming over the balcony, an approx., 4’ x 8’ sheet broke off, falling, falling, falling like a playing card through the air and coming down like a hatchet right into the roof of a near by home.

I am so glad that a lot of what “can go wrong” was done wrong on a another mans dime!

Thank you for the kind words

The black finish on the corner cupboard is very effective. I also really admire the round edge on the front. I sure would like to see more photos of the bed. It deserves its own project heading. The built in trunk is a beautiful addition to it, but those twisted posts are gorgeous.

Great syuff!

Here at the university where I work, our carpenters were asked to build a large storage cabinet for musical instruments. Access to the room where it was going to go was not a problem, and they measured carefully to be sure it would fit through the door of the shop when they were finished. Trouble is, they never bothered to measure the door it had to pass through between leaving the shop and arriving at its final destination. Oops! Had to cut the whole thing in half.

Quite the set, Roman. Great bed and nifty cabinet. Interesting how we sometimes have to work at the installation phase.

I like the 4X4 post on the cabinet. They sure make it a substantial piece. The bed is awsome two. i wish you had posted them separate.

Nice stuff Roman.
It shows your flexibility and experience with the craft.

Your skill pretty much runs the gamut of woodworking.

Roman,

This is a wonderful post. But to tell the truth I wouldn’t want to move either one, especially the bed. They both look substantial. These are very nice pieces and I think your daughter did an outstanding job, especially at her age.

Thanks for the post.

Installations…......hmmm, almost always a challenge.

the bed was a beast to lift but many hands make light work.

I have five kids. The two oldest girls (now women) are mine, and my better half has three more that are still at home, makes five. I wish I could instill in her children, what I gave my own …...?

My youngest daughter was always a quick learn and by far, the best helper I have ever had. She has surpassed any expectations I ever had of her and so far (touch wood) is excelling at life. She used to beg to quit school, come back home and work with me. Not that I dont like what I do, but there are far easier and enjoyable ways to make a living and the pay cheque is much bigger. She listened.

Some superb craftsmanship.

I’m like Dennis, I wish you would post these as separate projects.

You could post more pictures that way, & devote more info for each.
