Show off your wood working skills.

the cutting boards and rolling pin above were my inspiration to attempt this rather annoying layout for a end grain cutting board

 

Nice, the layout is pretty confusing. The glue up is a bitch too, we've broke afew during glueing. If i renember I can pm you the plan we used.

 

Heres a few things i have done for customers lately

 

Here is my latest project.

 

That looks awesome, Adam. Nice lines.

 

Thanks, It's a conglomeration of about 4 different cribs that my wife liked. She liked little pieces from each one and I tried to incorporate all of them into 1.

 

Well you should get a damn medal. Women.

Nice work guy. There is alot of talent in this thread

 

Some really nice work in here! I've always been just a carpenter helper and a broke one at that. Scored a free sub-floor scrap for a work space

 

Its not much, but im getting better.

 

looks pretty good to me.

 

This one is a mixture of wood and metal

[/QUOTE]

Did you anneal, shape then re-harden the steel yourself, or use some other method?

I ask because I have been looking into trying some metal work lately but have been hesitant about jumping into it.

 

I made this TV stand to match some furniture we bought nude.
4 power tools used: Skill saw, router, sander & drill.
The 47" TV has since been upgraded to a 55".
The top section holds Tivo, DVD player, Bose control unit & front 3 speakers.
Remotes work through the shade cloth covering it.
6 drawers that each hold 4 dozen standard size DVD boxes.
I should have made it bigger since it no longer holds all my DVDs.

 

I purchased a bar of steel from http://www.mcmaster.com/ . Cut it to shape, and then sanded the bevel. Once you are close i did a heat treat of it to harden it, then tempered it. I got a lot of info from www.bladeforums.com . It is a lot of fun, I just have to be careful in the wood shop not to light it all on fire with sparks. I have some more in the works, just don't have a shop to work in right now.

 

So what we all really need is a 5 car garage:
1 bay for woodshop
1 bay for metalshop
1 bay for truck
1 bay for some other person's vehicle, maybe
1 bay for random shit and other projects, fridge, couch.

oh wait

1 bay for paint/spry/finish booth

So 6 bays

And then one for the Eagle Speedster, so OK...

7 bays.

 

Yes, I'm thinking it needs to be somewhere around 5000 sq ft. Now, where do I find the $$$$$ to fill it with all the toys?

 

Yeah. And then the time to use them...

 

I have a question for the carpenters out there *cough* OZ *cough*

Does anyone know where I can find a load chart for vertically oriented plywood? Specifically, I'm looking to oversize an opening in my house and want to glue and screw plywood on edge for the overhead support. I'm just looking for confirmation that I'll have enough capacity.
