No worries man, take your time. Totally understand.

 

Oiling up @thoiboi 's wood.

 

 

It's bigger than I expected.

 

That's what they all say...

 

Go big or dont go at all

 

Love the color.

 

Tried out a new finish on the white oak tops for the nightstands and holy shit is it awesome. Look at this sheen after two coats in two hours! I added one more after this to even everything out and it fucking shines and is perfect without any streaks, runs, drips, etc. It's more expensive than your typical poly but it's 1000% worth every penny for the results you get!

 

Can't wait to see those wrapped up. That top is awesome.

 

Gah I've been horrible, sorry @thoiboi I've been super busy the past few weeks. Here are the shots of the finished cutting board! I'll get this out in the mail sometime this week.




Pics of night stands inbound soon. I just have to finish the leather handle pulls.

I'll be starting to mill lumber for my most important project ever tonight. Baby crib project starts today!

 

That thing would have to live on the countertop (as it should) in our house. No way it'd fit in any of our cabinets.

NP Sam, I've been busy too so wasn't going to pester you

 

That is fantastic looking.

As 00TL said not sure I have a cabinet big enough for that. If it did fit in our cabinet for cutting boards and cooking racks it would take up almost the entire space.

 

It definitely does not fit in any of my cabinets lol. It's nearly as long as the countertop on top of the cabinet so not a snowball's chance it's going inside.

 

maybe you guys need to stop being poorz and move to better neighborhoods with bigger cabinets

 

Started building the baby crib over the week. Unlike other cribs, this one showed up as a pile of rough sawn walnut, puts Ikea to shame. A bit further along than this now but here's a preview shot. I've got all of the rails and stiles cut and milled to size, now I'm going through and sanding till my hands go numb before I cut the dominoes to hold it all together. Tomorrow I'll continue sanding and mill up the spindles. Once that's all done, I can get everything cut to final size, round over the edges, and start assembly! ...and more sanding. Whole thing will be solid walnut with two accenting painted panels on the ends. It'll be heavy AF.

 

Sounds really cool. Can't wait to see some more updates.

Solid walnut will definitely be extremely heavy.

 

I love coming in here.

 

This beast arrived in the mail today in perfect condition! Surprisingly, UPS didn’t smash it up either!


this is just going to live forever on the island, no way is it going to move. Thanks for the awesome work @SamDoe1 ! Its just what we wanted!

 

Glad you like it!

Did you find the coasters in the box too? Want to make sure you didn't toss them lol.

 

yeah got em as well, thanks for those!! My wife opened the box and asked “do we need to place the board on these pieces?” bless her heart.

 

Not quite as huge as I expected, the spoon for reference helps. Love it.
Fantastic work, Sam.

 

It's all about camera angle. Guess this answers what industry thoi works in.

 

Underpromise, overdeliver

 

First crib rail glued up. Next one tonight, can only do one at a time because I need more clamps.

Also, bless the domino. My kid's crib would be put together with pocket holes if it wasn't for this magic machine. I don't have the patience to manual M/T joints.

 

Looks awesome @SamDoe1 , what are the blue lights @thoiboi ?

Where do you store your clamps when not using them? I have not created a great way to get my 4 out of the way. I understand not having enough clamps after trying to glue up my large panels for my TV cabinet with only 3. I definitely should have had at least 5.

 

Confucius say: The number of clamps you need for any given project is one more than the number of clamps that you own.

I have a super high tech and complicated way of storing my clamps. Not sure that you'll be able to replicate it but I'll go out and take a picture and post it later.

 

inb4 piece of 2x2 mounted on a wall that the clamps...clamp onto

 

Confucius is much wise


same formula can be used for bicycles

 

but the 2x2 is ALSO clamped onto the wall via a clamp


clampception

 

This was the first thing that popped in my mind when I thought of clamp storage.

 

2x2??? WTF kind of wealthy elitist do you think I am?

It's a 1x2 mounted on the wall that the clamps hook onto.

 

If it fits, it sits!

 

That works well. Been thinking of building something like that to mount on my slat wall in the garage. The problem is if for any reason they would fall it would be a huge dent in the car door. Maybe better off building on on the pegboard wall above the work bench.

 

I haven't had any fall off the wall in 2 years they've been hanging there.

 

Jason over builds everything.
Johnny's cutting board is fucking gorgeous.

 

 

On the home stretch with this guy! Got the main assembly completed, the long rails sanded and ready for finish. The short end pieces are assembled and need round overs on all the edges and a final sand. Before I do that, I need to attach the legs to the ends...and before that I need to mill the legs.

Hoping to wrap this project up this week.
