One for the Handmade Bookcases lovers!!

As an avid reader, I am a huge fan of books. As a cabinet maker I am an even huger fan of having somewhere impressive to display my books! Unfortunately due to the high amount of obviously innovative and impressive ideas that i have, my wife has stepped in and has, for now, stopped me from implementing any more of my ‘ideas’ handmade bookcases around the house.

I get a lot of customers concerned about the durability of a solid wood work-surface, like every surface, you do have to look after it; but that extends across the board. There are pros and cons with every type. Granite is very unforgiving, you only have to set your wine glass down at a slight angle and it’s likely to break the stem. Formica, is in my opinion the most durable and flexible yet although the cheapest is also the least desirerable. Corian has many advantages; it can be easily re-finished (by a professional) looks great, but comes with a huge price tag. Glass is an option but again, hugely expensive and scratches far too easily to be a main contender; Although it does lend itself really well to a modern state of the art Kitchen. Solid wood is a great choice, it looks amazing and contrary to popular belief, it is relatively easy to keep and inexpensive. When I fit Solid wood work surfaces I treat them with a hard-wearing finishing oil from the company Liberon They have a huge range of finishes to suit most applications. Liberons finishing oil is hard-wearing easy to apply and is heat and water resistant. It is easy to maintain a perfect finish without the need to call me back to apply another coat. Simply make sure the surface is clean and dry, lightly wire wool to provide a key and rag on another light coat with a lint free cloth, simple! I suggest applying a coat in a well ventilated room just before you go out, because, like most good oils the smell can be a little over powering.

Below is a list of Liberon supplies in the area but if your area is not on the list then please take a look at the store locator on the liberon website:

Really quite clever bookcases

Good afternoon all!

I have stated in previous blogs that i am a very sad man. Everyone and anyone who knows me can easily attest to that. I spend way too much of my time thinking about wood. I suddenly sat bolt upright in bed apparently the other night and shouted the numbers ‘2085’.

handmade kitchens bedford line HANDMADE BOOK CASESCASE STUDIES | HANDMADE BOOKCASES GALLERY | HANDMADE BOOKCASES REVIEWS handmade bookcases bedford | 01525 753737 | info@davidhead.co.uk | CONTACT I have no knowledge of this as i was asleep, but when my wife told me about it the number that i’d shouted out troubled me for a while. Was this something important? Had i had some sort of eerie premonition in a dream and i was now responsible for saving the world from something that involved the number 2085?

It was still worrying me slightly when i got to work the next day. I was absentmindedly flicking through some of my cutting lists and suddenly there it was. 2085. Like a beacon. Staring me straight in the face. Turns out it was the height of a handmade bookcase i was about to start making…… What a very very sad man indeed…….

So i thought i would let you in on what’s been going on inside my sad little head this week. Regular readers (HA!!! i couldn’t even write that seriously!!) will have noticed (who am i kidding?) that occasionally my mind will wander into a specific area of furniture making (my therapist doesn’t know why either). In the past it has alighted upon garden furniture, or working with pallets or offcuts.

This morning it was perhaps the most specific it has ever been. I found myself thinking about modular storage. Some men daydream about football, some about cars, others about boobs, but I daydream about modular storage. What a catch i am.

I have always been intrigued by clever furniture design. The problem with clever furniture design a lot of the time is that the price tag isn’t too clever. Then i thought about the storage side of it. It can be hard to tell how much of it you need.

We all buy more things that need storing all the time, so what is to say that the amount of storage you have now will be the same amount that you’ll need in a years time. You don’t want to be in a position where you buy a beautiful piece of furniture only to find that somewhere down the line it is not big enough anymore and you can add to it or find anything that will match it.

This is where the idea of modular storage comes in. The basic idea in modular design is that you create a basic shaped storage box that is easily repeatable and cheap to make, also allowing for it to easily sit next to or interlock with other boxes. The best types of these systems are customisable as well, so you that you can change the colours or the doors for instance.

The idea is that you can then add to your existing piece easily as and when you need to. Clever, huh?

As i have done before, i have scoured the internet and found some examples that i really like, all of these designs cover the areas i have mentioned, they are simple shapes, easily repeatable and fit together well.

I think these sorts of things are great. I love the idea behind them in that you can set your own pace with them. If money is a little tighter than you would like you can buy a few bits, safe in the knowledge that you will be able to add to it when your budget allows.

In fact, so interested am i in this type of design that i would say that one of my ambitions is to design a system of modular furniture myself. Maybe one day! I just find the whole thing so amazingly clever. A mix of brilliant design but with an eye on the pennies, that is something that doesn’t come along that often.

Also, because of the relatively simple shapes and sizes, the individual modules can not only be cheaply made but they can be so easily customised with very little hassle.

When something is simple to make it is invariably easy to finish, and so painting different modules different colours or covering them with different materials is relatively easy. When it comes to clever and easy storage i think that all in all modular furniture is a very very good thing

If you have a clever idea that you would like made into a reality or would like to pay me a ridiculously large amount of money to design my own modular furniture system then please do get in touch!! You can reach us at david@davidhead.co.uk or on 01525753737

Thank you for reading.
