so i haven't posted anything for a while because i've been busy making stuff, and actually finishing them, so apologies to the 2 or 3 people that look at this. No Guts No Glory is a wicked shop in exeter that sells t shirts, zines and prints all designed by some insanely talented artists, as well as loads of other organic and ethical items (non food related.) Nathan wanted to redesign the shop so it fitted his newer stock better, and so that more of it was on the wall rather than on the floor (the shop is tiny as.) Keeping with their DIY aka "i'm going steal as many pallets as i can and make weird things out of them" theme, we very loosely designed a table, a wall display unit box, and some other gubbins. these pics are the making of, getting a sweet badass camera soon so waiting to get some decent pics pics on that.

one table sans drawers.

the table legs were made from old fenceposts, and the top from a pallet we mysteriously acquired. the top kind of rests on the shoulders cut into the posts, afterwards we pegged them in with dowel so it looks slightly more accomplised, and less like the dodgiest thing ever made. i will add however, it is rock solid. somehow. ish.
eventually, i made some drawers which slide into the table top, one doesnt really fit properly currently as the wood has warped to shit, but soon they'll be fine.

one drawer.

also there was a display box to hold zines and prints, this was just two simple frames which were then pegged together after to make it deeper. this wasn't too hard, although because the workshop is freezing, and nathan's house is ridiculously warm, it didnt fit together there. i had to cut the slots a bit bigger in his living room.

the frame bits pre cutting.

the frames after.

 there's still a few little bits in the shop which Nathan and Hayley want to improve, but we'll do them later.
these items were made in time for the first handmade arcade, me and my mother shared a stall, there, didnt sell much but it was a wicked atmosphere, and mother got loads of good feedack about her stuff, so she was chuffed. she can knit any design you want, provided you draw it on graphpaper, email me or contact if your interested, adults jumpers start at around 80 or 90 quid ish. room for negotiation though :) 

been on the bench this week. pics soon!
