This window was be fitted into an inclined roof, requiring angled horizontal rabbets. The square vertical rabbets are formed by attaching a separate piece of molding (glued on, with central plywood spline for reinforcement). The frame features mortise-and-tenon joints with panel groove. The window pane is secured with molding on both sides (glued-on on one…
To achieve a rigid and sturdy construction, the legs attach to the bench body via T-bridle joints (CZ ‘zahrdleni/rozvor s cepem’). The backrest incline is adjustable to allow for a range of exercises.

We flattened the warped top using a traditional restoration technique, and stabilized the top (to prevent future warping) by adding both side stabilizers (pegged mortise and tenon, with peg holes elliptical to allow for wood movement) and bottom stabilizers (sliding dovetails). The damaged leg parts were replaced with loose-tenon prostheses and shaped to final form.
These double swinging doors feature a simple frame-and-panel design, and a top stop block that slides on horizontal plywood rails. A hollow chisel mortiser simplified the production. The intended function was to facilitate passage to humans while denying passage to a dog.
For outdoor cooking in a pot over campfire, we need a solid bench, a sturdy lid, and a stir paddle. Built with basic hand tools and an angle grinder.
