Unique Handmade Four Drawer Storage Unit/TV stand/Dresser


The carcass was originally part of a welsh dresser which was donated to me made from Vietnamese hardwood. It had no worktop so I hand crafted one from an antique Victorian oak table, again donated. I?ve hand carved 4 matching pieces, bevelled edges all round, stripped the dark varnish and sanded it back to its original grain, which I have retained and given it coats of walnut protective stain to match the drawers. Of the latter each of drawers have safety locks to prevent them from being pulled out fully, though they can be turned for making easier transport.

A lot of time and effort has gone in to making this eco project, and has been finished to a professional standard as you will see from the photographs. Though you are more than welcome to view it.

Anyone want to buy this ethically made up-cycled functional piece of furniture; make me an offer?


To be honest I need the money to raise funds to have private physio as it takes an age to get some on the NHS, don't get me wrong they do a wonderful job but monthly sessions is not enough as my physical condition changes like the weather. I'm having an epidural steroid injection in my lumber on Friday and need physio the following week so I can make it to see my Sister in Malta first week in August for her husbands 60th birthday.


I'm a proud man, and I'm bordering on begging, but desperate times calls for desperate measures


Yours appreciatively

I have been friends with this man for over ten years and have been a witness to his demise, his talent and enthusiasm still shines through all of his difficulties and bless him, when he is out of pain or it's relatively comfortable for him , he goes all out and tries to complete his various projects.

I know he has spent many hours completing this lovely piece of furniture and the money he wants goes nowhere near the effort and time invested, the pictures don't really do it justice and if you are tempted by them, go visit and you'll buy it!

I think it's beautiful, but just do not have the space.


Do try the shop on Dulwich Road - who knows..or .the chap under the arches of Herne Hill station (has a phone number now) - both buy furniture.


They might like bespoke pieces... finding an outlet would be ideal

      Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.

      I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
