Decided to do some wood working-- LETS SEE YOUR STUFF TOO!!

[Farmer]

All wood workers, etc.., Lets see your stuff too.  Post in Here

 

 

 

 

I figured Id build an entertainment cabinet for our system. Its not the best work but will do. Needing better wood working setup to do better. Its not done, have to fill holes and such. Its going to be painted Black satin. Used wood glue and pocket holes to hold it all together

white maple Or pine?

Creating something with your hands is very satisfying work. There's nothing that feels quite the same.

nice man. i wish i had taking woodshop in HS or somehow had some experience with it.

white maple Or pine?

 

Plywood is ACX and CCX 5/8 Top is 3/4 and rails/trim is primered pine. Next time I'll spend a little more on cabinet grade plywood.

[laotsu]

paint grade is paint grade don't sweat it. just squirt it and get a good conversion varnish, that stuff is like Imron.

Looking good sir. I've been looking for an excuse to do the same thing, but can't get motivated. Maybe this will kick my ass into gear.

[dennis]

looks good.

 

I have been wanting a small semi-circle stage in my Media Room and hide my audio/video gear in it. I need something, I have a 110" screen and it looks so plain.

Wish I could build something half that nice...looks the goods.

[Sealik]

Yes....woodworking can be very satisfying

Ones own creative manipulation of the sometimes unobvious....... yet inevitable.......anomaly..... :)

 

Had some extra 2x12 D Fir and laminate lying around.......soooooooo

Compound angles with dovetails.......lots of work

'Basically' just a table saw, inverted 3HP router, sliding compound saw, biscuit jointer and of course a jig to cut the panels

Doug you're the man!

[Farmer]

Wow. Creative mind.

 

[Sealik]

Wow. Creative mind.

Thanks.......but

It's actually pretty easy if you 'just' take a look at it.....sort of :)
If you're building a box with...let's say with 4 corners, the joints are 90 degrees.
That said....based on a circle/360 degrees....if I build something with 7 corners, each intersection/corner will be 51.5 degrees.
Since we are fitting 2 sides of a corner together.... each edge will be cut at 26 degrees.

The length/shape of panels simply determine the size...>...end result
The dovetails are a means to connect without mechanical fasteners....kind of cool when it all just slides together.
The structure is very strong...easily take a 2000+ lb TV and or... :D

Conversely, destroying something with your hands can be pretty surreal as well...

 

- it's an interesting point though, I suppose that's why I like this site so much. I see sooo much fabrication and ingenuity, and alot of it forced by circumstances. I enjoy seeing what people do in the pirsuit of occupying thier time with projects.

[mrbigtanker]

Awesome man.that looks real good.

[Farmer]

Got it finished. Not happy with the paint. I'll do better on the next one..LOL
