    Thinking of making a timber table and chairs for the garden anybody know anywhere to get detailed drawings either online or in a book ?
    Or could I ask a somebody to make for me would this option prove more expensive than buying in a shop. I'm based in Meath/Dublin area

    Google is your friend :rolleyes: Unless you have the tools to process rough timber I wonder is there any point ? The only advantage I can see is that you could use a durable wood like iroko considering most commercial garden sets are made from rubbish timber designed to last five years at best.

    I'd prefer heart of Oak to Iroko any day, much easier to work and just as durable.
