PROJECTS
Convertible coffee table
This beautiful table converts from a tradional coffee table to one that's at a comfortable height for dining or doing homework. The secret is a unique lift mechanism that's built into the base.

Router bit cabinet
This storage cabinet features a Perspex panel, which allows you to see the bits. But what really attracts your attention are the dovetail keys at the corner of the cabinet.

Display cabinet
Display your favourite collection or store your fine tools. Either way, this cabinet is a great solution. Plus, there are several optons so you can make its design the perfect fit for your home.

Want to maximise the storage in your tool cabinet? Here's how we adapted the display cabinet for use in the workshop, as well as some of the custom tool holders we came up with to hang the tools.

TECHNIQUES

Trenches and grooves. Locking rebates, housing joints
