Creating hinged middle support leg:
Filling the large cracks with a sawdust/wood glue mix:

Welsh mans dream?
This isn't what it looks like (honest!)

New seating construction for the games room
I needed to make a bench for the games room so people can sit down and rest their drinks on it, (that takes up a lot less room than sofas) so people can play pool also.
Very rough sketch of idea:
Laying out the timbers for cutting on table saw:
Construction of joints:
Side supports going on:
Completed box section moved in place in Games room:
Plywood paneling going on:
Holes filled with wood filler:
Wood stained all over and panelling trim being fitted to make it less "boxy"
