You are a dark horse James, you would have us believe that you have only recently started woodworking. Just by way of constructive criticism, It would have been better to have the top sitting on the sides with thin edging strip to cove the end grain. Glue blocks on the inside screwed with a screw to the top and frame.
What I would do now is fit plastic stoppers, available in several colours, into the screw heads, where the screws are too deep, use contact adhesive.
That is a nice design, James. Harry's tips were the two that I was thinking of too. I usually use wood plugs to cover screws on the outside though, and on the inside of a cabinet, either the plastic, or the stick on ones work good too and come in plastic or unfinished wood of your choice.
And don't ever worry about how long it takes, hobbies are all about relaxing and enjoying oneself. Sometimes I knock stuff off quick, other times it takes ages as there are so many other things to do in life.
Nice work James! Its not too late to fix the top, another sheet on top with a protruding rounded edge will mask this quite well.
What's the trophy for?
One of the reasons, apart from having no shed, that it took so long was that I sailed on a 28' yacht for a number of years (twice a month).
The trophy is for one of the club events we won 3 years in a row. :dance3: :dance3: :dance3:
The skipper/owner let me hold the trophy for 12 months...
We normally sailed 2 up.
I am giving sailing a rest for a while to spend more time on woodwork.
At one stage last year, I was sailing every weekend.
'er indoors was not happy...
James
