Any woodworkers?

Has anyone worked with grey

That is beautiful. Think it's time I went to my local supplier and browse the live edge slabs!

 

Ha! No worries Top, I do take it as a compliment. I was an art major in undergrad, with a concentration in woodworking and furniture design, and went to grad school for interior architecture. So if I can make and display things that look like a museum-grade piece/display, I think I've done my job!

 

Emojis help! Too bad we couldn't use them in real life!

 

Want to come design our interior? lol

 

You don’t? I see them in my head and that makes my comments acceptable. No idea if anyone else does or finds them acceptable but it works for me!

 

Climbing into someone else's head is a threshold I will not cross....

I am sometimes unsure what I am even doing in my own head....

 

thats underlying military training...I get told Im too serious/literal sometimes. Sometimes stuff just pops out of my mouth before I think about it...then its like oops that came off as rude.

 

That’s why me and my corporate boss (AT&T/Directv) didn’t get along. He didn’t like (understandably) being told something was dumb or I wasn’t going to do something that bordered on being against policy. Finally just quit after 3 years and decided to just retire outright. Pretty sure we’re both a lot happier.

 

To all the military folks on the thread - I and my family thank you for your service.

 

You know... One of them awesome boxes would be a real nice thank you... Just sayin...





J/K Thanks for the thanks, it always feels good to know folks appreciate it.

 

Most stuff I make I give away...so, that’s not out of the question

 

Now you’re just trying to show up everyone on the thread.

First the amazing work (others here also do amazing work but this isn’t about you damn it!)

Now this?! Hold me back guys!

 

I'd just like some dimension plans and I'd copy it

 

Lol I’m slowly working my way through the thread; trust me I’m amazed and humbled at all the pieces!

 

I’d gladly post the dimensions but I made it for a friend last year (or the year before?). Next time I make one I’ll document the dimensions. Maybe a chance for me to get off my ass and learn to use sketchup.

 

I had a lake etched into the board and filled with epoxy. Sanded down and I like it. Not bad for the first hack at epoxy...

 

I met him in person a number of years ago and he was a bit of a self conceited douchebag....

 

Anyone ever work with grey elm? We recently had our kitchen remodeled and our kitchen company suggested the island be made from grey elm with Michaels Cherry stain. I absolutely LOVE the grain. After seeing our island I’m really interested in finding some grey elm for some projects.

 

Current project. New TV stand. Still need to work out the drawers, the drawer faces and some cable routing but the main box is done. Still not sure what direction I want to go with the finish. Designed in Fusion360 then built out of poplar and maple I had left from another project.
