Just made some wall panels for a shower enclosure (refused to pay £150 a panel plus fitting kit )

I have a 2.1m x 1.2m double glazed unit that I use for infusing flat sheet.

Sprayed down some white gelcoat, once tacked off I layed down one layer of resin rich 450grm CSM. Whilst still wet I placed a 2m x 1m sheet of 9mm MDF (scored the face with a Stanley knife to aid bonding) onto the wet CSM and weighted it down.

Once cured the sheet was demoulded and cut to size. Result one mirror finish wall panel.





Cost : materials £50 plus two hours labour.

Nice, I've been thinking of doing the exact same thing!

Cheers Chris, wanted to do them in 2/2 Twill with a nice V meeting in the corner but the Mrs was having none of it.

What do women know about interior design??

If i had more time for carbon insanity I would probably go carbon max!

I reckon plausable stuff include:
Dining table - top infused with high temp resin to avoid coffee rings.
Coffee table - same as above
bog seat
shower tray and panels.
Bathtub
Kitchen cabinet doors. Dead easy using thick foam cored panel.
Simple furniture like bedside cabinets. Make up lots of foam cored sheet. Assemble like ikea flat pack furniture.

Not to bring it down too much, but "warm seat" syndrome may occur with this one!

And the seat to make it complete:



Again, true innovations come from across the big pond, I wonder why us Yurpeens aren't able to come up with this stuff?!



And now a truly innovative way to turn leftover waste into money:

Only 15 bucks per piece!Non-sealed fibers so it soaks up spilled coffee! Awesome!

Haha surprised the wife wouldn't let you do the carbon shower Warren, my Mrs has been begging me for awhile to make a carbon fibre splash back for the kitchen! 

Here is something I have been secretly working on, non slip carbon floor tiles. Will have to lay them when the Mrs is out

Hanaldo, your very lucky my wife hates CF.

Right this minute, I'm working on the plug for a double set of washbasins for my bathroom, they will be made with spread-tow 15 mm plain weave. .. The table top is made from 4 cm thick African walnut, which will be resin infused and reinforced with 90 gsm glass.  Everything gets several clear coats of 2-k polyurethane boat varnish..

My wife was very sceptical until she saw the spread tow CF along with the dark walnut...

"Sapere Aude"... Dare to KNOW!

The written word is the only truly efficient vehicle for transmitting a complex concept from mind to mind...

103% of all people do not understand statistics...

Do not adjust our mind, theres a fault in reality :-)

Spread tow does look nice.
