Excellent - really too good to be a toy, are you going to display it? Good speed of work too - puts me to shame certainly!

Thank you guys.

Not this time as it is going in a magazine. Even though I did take over 300 photo's now need to sort them all out. It is surprising how this slows down the build

It would be worth checking with the editor of the magazine you are submitting it to, as I've had a few magazine articles recently published in Good Woodworking that I had already written up as WIPs on here (the corner summerhouse is in the April 2018 edition and the understairs storage was in a few months ago).
I originally contacted GW to submit another article (Jessica's bed) that I hadn't written up on here but with that initial email I also included the links to the WIP projects and asked the question. I was surprised that they were happy to publish them as well - mind you its surprising how much work is needed to convert the WIP approach of a forum into a magazine article even though most of the sequence, text and photos are already sorted!

I've got another article due in next month's edition - a flexible rabbit run - that I also posted a subset of photos on here a few months ago. After that, I've one 'banked' project left (i.ealready built and I have the photos so just need to write it up) - its the foldable playhouse that I actually did as a WIP in the original woodhaven forum (wish I'd kept the text!).
