Hemswell Antique Centre
A couple of weeks ago we spent a few days in Lincoln visiting relatives. I found the Hemswell Antiques Centre which claimed to be the biggest in Europe. It is housed in numerous buildings on an ex RAF base.
Surprisingly there wasn't much in the way of antique tools, just a few old boxes here and there.
This was one of the nicest little pieces, a Victorina miniature coffer. At around £30 it was very tempting.
A beautiful mahogany drop leaf side table.
Another fine piece, this free standing jewellery box (by Heals I think) featured a mechanism that opened the drawer when the lid was lifted.
A fine selection of Wellington chests, a design that I find very appealing.
A very nice named mitre chop.

Many people are interested in woodworking but don't really have any background in it. A good way to get started is with some woodworking plans. If you find a plan for something you would like to make, it is much easier to follow the directions than to do something off the top of your head. Most projects have several aspects to them and will help you learn a broad range of woodworking skills.
