What We're Making

[homestead]

Just finished up a big tool box. And made a video of the build.

Very nice work! What was the white tape you used attaching the drawer fronts, how does that work?

Thanks - the white tape is double stick tape. I put it between drawer fronts and then shim the outer front to get uniform gaps between the outer front and the box frame. Then press the the 2 fronts together to hold them in place so I can open the drawer while keeping the outer front at the proper gaps. Then while the 2 fronts are stuck together by the tape, I can screw the 2 fronts together from the inside of the drawer. Hope that makes sense.

Wow, that is very nice. I enjoyed the video also.

What a beautiful toolbox, and the video was very professional as well!

I saw a Jeep parts crate online. Jeeps sends out lift kits and other parts to customers in plywood crates loaded with Jeep logos. I wanted one, but don't need any parts. So I made my own crate. And weathered it a bit.

And made a build video. https://youtu.be/7y0EIFnM5uE

You had me until the stencils. My OCD was going crazy on the time & intricacies it took in my mind...

Great job though. Really like the corner straps detail.

Not the best pics, but I've been busy with closets and pantries lately. Still have to finish up the trim on the pantry...all Pre-finished uv birch wood.

This is in an old 20's duplex home being remodeled for rentals.

Updated pics...

^ nice work! I’m still trying to talk DW into letting me do the guest bedroom closet, but she’s not interested. She thinks the closet is too small for something like you’re doing.

Robstar and Surewhitey what talent you two have. Very creative and imaginative minds and talented wood working skills.

Great job!

Between Ronstar and Surewhitey we have two guys here that should team up and start a custom wood products business! Oh wait, that would be like W*RK again!

^ I once posted a wood project on my Facebook. Never again. Friends started asking for stuff. Yep - That’s when it becomes work.

It's work if you don't enjoy it and pressured to finish it. I get compensation for doing projects and prefer the non-paid projects for friends, neighbors and family.

Plus it reduces the cost of gifts for peeps.

Nice board, Ronstar.

Nothing better than a 10 minute project. Deer antler shed on a few pieces of scrap barnwood

Another masterpiece! I really like those resin inlays. I have seen where they do it in wooden bowls and really looks nice.

I like the horn display too!!

Thanks! I've seen the bowls too - awesome. And some really big tables that take up several gallons of resin. Lots of work to do those - they put the epoxy in about an inch layer at a time. Lots of fine sanding too.

DW asked for an Aviary. We built this together.

Everything is so lovely!
It is fun to see the talent here on the forum.

I am building a sewing cabinet for a die cutter for DW. Pictures to follow.

 

[Ronstar]

Building a peninsula / desk for a friend's mancave in his new pole barn. Will be covering it in barn wood as soon as I pick up the wood.

You'r right - and I'm going to get more. Two things that I've learned - Building anything is possible with enough clamps and jigs.

Yes you can't have too many clamps
