You could gussy up the front door a mite for the holidays...

Nice, love the frame.

If you make a cool toybox, you'll still step on a LEGO with your bare feet in the dark. :lol:

Would a toybox aged kid want that in their room?

xoxoxoBruce 12-02-2016 07:15 AM

Any age, kids love monsters and icky things, don't they?

glatt 12-02-2016 07:57 AM

I guess I'm too far removed from that age. I don't remember any more. I think they would like it during the daytime, maybe in another room, but at night having it staring at them in their bed might be unnerving.

Clodfobble 12-02-2016 02:20 PM

All four of mine would have been terrified of it. But they are on the emotionally sensitive side. Minifob cries at sad commercials.

xoxoxoBruce 12-02-2016 05:14 PM

What do I know, I never had a toybox. All my treasure had to stay in the cellar because my room way the main thoroughfare from the kitchen and backdoor to the bathroom.

BigV 12-02-2016 08:55 PM

I love them, I'd love to make one. I think my kids would have liked them.

Since I can't play the piano, this seems like the perfect use while listening to the radio.

Treat her like a queen...

Gravdigr 12-06-2016 12:21 PM

Pass.

It takes me five minutes til I can walk more than a step or two in the morning, I'd tumble down those steps the first time I got up in the night to piss.

Pissing yourself while breaking your neck is no way to go through life, son.

Is it your ankles? If so, rotate them and flex them for a few seconds while you are still lying in bed. Gets the accumulated fluids out of the joint and releases stiffness before you put weight on them and strain them. Knees too.

Gravdigr 12-07-2016 11:39 AM

Knees, back, feet, all of it, pretty much. Oddly, even though I've sprained and hairline-fractured each of them several times, my ankles don't bother me. Which is weird.

Yeah, I do the limbering up routine, if I have time. I have the prostate of a ninety year old. And I don't mean in a jar on a shelf.

xoxoxoBruce 12-07-2016 08:52 PM

Know what you mean. Use to be able to shit, shower and shave, in time it takes me to pee.

You don't need an elephant to have a trunk.

classicman 12-10-2016 11:42 AM

That is beautiful, but I would need to employ others just to carry/move it around.

Griff 12-10-2016 11:47 AM

French designer Mathieu Lehanneur has produced Liquid Marble, an installation of sculpted marble which represents the movement of the ocean. The complexities of the moving water were captured using sophisticated 3D software developed for the film industry. A single block of marble was machined to replicate the files and hand polished to create a reflective surface. This is the third installation of the Liquid Marble series, and the jet-black piece was designed specifically for the Norfolk Music Room at the V&A.

Liquid Marble was displayed as part of The London Design Festival 2016 at the V&A.



xoxoxoBruce 12-14-2016 05:53 PM

Looks to me like there's no clear coat for a flat surface, so it's strictly a piece of art with no utilitarian use?

I don't think that grillwork will keep the flies out... tigers either.

Clodfobble 12-20-2016 06:56 PM

I wonder if the door was structurally falling apart, and rather than replace the antique they figured out what would be necessary to brace it back together and then commissioned something artistic in that shape?

xoxoxoBruce 12-20-2016 07:01 PM

Could be, it would certainly look better than L-brackets, threaded rod, and turnbuckles. :lol:

My cellar has two steel beams that are about 5'10'' clearance.
I hung 1x3s on wires about 2" away from each, so you could at least decelerate. ;)



This bed looks like it wouldn't rock or bang the wall.

If the kid is a pain in the ass, it would be easy to slap some plywood over the holes and it becomes a shipping crate. :p:

Can't swear to it but I think it's a desk. Probably a secretary's desk, wide open so the boss can check out her garters.;)

Here is one from the lathe department. If ONLY we had someone here with a lathe...

Griff 12-27-2016 12:06 PM

ooooooooo....

Clodfobble 12-27-2016 03:06 PM

How do you make something like that hollow?

xoxoxoBruce 12-27-2016 05:39 PM

It would be tricky to lay it up hollow. It can be hollowed out through the small hole in the top, but it would be a royal pain in the ass and take a long time. Better to make a larger hole in the bottom to work through then plug it and glue a piece of anti-skid/anti-scratch material over it.

My choice would be to stick a dried posy in it and forget it.

Why not lay it up with a hexagonal unglued blank section? Like you put a support in an arch of bricks? Then at the end, just pull the "plug" out. Of course, how much empty do you need? Just enough for a couple of flower stems. Drill it out.

xoxoxoBruce 12-27-2016 09:56 PM

Or lay it up over a blank of Styrofoam, drill the hole, and dissolve the foam. ;)

A very, very old Scandinavian door...

Griff 12-29-2016 10:11 AM

Very much do I like that.

glatt 12-29-2016 10:58 AM

Do big slab doors like that move with humidity changes?

I like it a lot, but imagine it would bind in the summer and let cold air in in January.

xoxoxoBruce 12-29-2016 11:15 AM

If it closes against the casing rather than inside the casing, it shouldn't be a problem. Or if it fits loosely in the casing but against a stop trim.
