thisismatt Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 rpowell25 - thanks. Nice work yourself. I wish I had more space for personal projects. I plan to start a storage bed in January some time - a ripoff of a pottery barn design :P Quote Link to comment

yello620 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Turned this on the lathe today, I did not have the horn button to my 240z wheel. Hope it looks OK after i put some urethane on it. Certainly not perfect, but better than what i was looking at. Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 A couple of bad ass tool boxes, Quote Link to comment
Taytay Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Last month threw this up for the Ada specs on our home business. Never really built anything like this before. Took a couple days. Waiting for some better weather to paint or stain. Quote Link to comment

Taytay Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 That's what I'm thinking of doing..... But at the same time the railings connect to the pillars on the sides and I dunno if it'd clash having a stained surface right up next to paint without some kind of transition/border. Wife says paint, I'm thinking stain its a never ending debate lol Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Built this gazebo/ 'barbecue pit' for a buddy a few years back. Cupola The 'soffiting' was a pain in the ass...but....came out rather well. Mounted an exhaust fan... Of course we couldn't forget a weathervane Now he wants it skirted and screened in.....moar work.......that is good. Quote Link to comment

Figbuck Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 during my wine rack phase... This is a tune I wrote in '99. Milo was an old guy I met. He just retired from the forest service where he helped companies set up kilns for the commercial lumber industry. He had a lifetimes worth of knowledge about drying wood, something that I am extremely interested in. He passed away shortly after I met him. He had a heart attack but the local ER didn't catch it and sent him home. What a shame. What a loss. This is me fucking around at the shop one night, hit record and blow. At the close of 2011 all I had left are some photographs of my work. No more business, no more shop, no house, no money... horn in tragic need of repair, and the only thing I care about any more is getting a new reed. It hurts to think how much sawdust I ate that year, and how hard I worked... only to fail miserably. I guess I'm retired now... at least tired. Quote Link to comment
rpowell25 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Figbuck, those wine racks are very nice! Quote Link to comment
Figbuck Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Any idiot can be a excellent carpenter... I'm living proof... I found some 4" casters that came from a hospital bed I got from the dump... welded up a frame for them. They are attached to bottom of the tool boxes I made for my Datsun tools. The chest on top is for all kinds of little 620 goodies that fall into my tool box @ PnP. Clips, grommets, hood bumpers, heater parts... Shot it inside and out with three coats of commercial water-bourne varnish. All the ply, pulls and even black walnut came from a kitchen I tore out on a remodel. Every single edge has a radius throughout. The idea came from campaign chests that British Officer's had when they were stationed in the field. The middle chest is sockets, breaker bars, torque wrenches... top drawers are soldering guns to die grinders, small tools and supplies... I did something I saw in antiques. I used a thick drawer bottom as the guide for the drawer, so it rides in a slot on the side of the carcase. The Ratsun version of full extension drawer slides. Reeeet! Quote Link to comment
gumbyz13 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Digging around in some old folders and found this one. Needed a cabinet that was big enough to fit the headers off my Z or some good size wheels. Couple that with me being a cheap ass and not wanting to spend the money to buy a cabinet.
