Alrighty then, a 72", 7 drawer dresser...

fargon 03-21-2016 04:31 AM

That is a chest of drawers.

Gravdigr 03-21-2016 04:36 PM

Looks like a stomach and legs of drawers...

Little bench under a tree, rustic, but enough poly to make it wipeable, for bird poop and tree dirt.
Good spot to read a book, poison a pigeon, or shoot a squirrel.
But still open enough you can spot werebunnies sneaking up to drink your blood, and gnaw your bones.

I think this one is more suited close to the house, maybe a covered porch.

Or maybe you'd rather sit in a chair. I wonder if the leather will make fart noises?

Could be rough to look at, the morning after a good night. :haha:

glatt 04-04-2016 07:43 AM

I like it. It wouldn't work in my house though. Our rooms are small, and my furniture and stuff is shoehorned into this place. This chest of drawers begs to have open space around it so you can see it.

Gravdigr 04-04-2016 05:45 PM

I am Gravdigr, and I approve this chest.

Or for something lighter you could do a little whittling.

I like that whittled figure

DIY lets you choose, lets you create what you want without being restricted by convention or opinions of others...
even if your taste sucks.

I've made this type of lamp, it's not too hard if you don't get fussy with the design. Those are best left to lasers or water-jets to cut out.

Heh. That will split a toddler's scalp open when they are learning to walk.

xoxoxoBruce 04-21-2016 03:27 PM

Fuck those toddlers, keep them away from my house. Adults(without cats) don't have to live in rubber rooms. I had a guy come over one time with his spawn in tow. The first thing the kid grabs is the fireplace poker I made and starts drumming on the glass fireplace doors. His father was amused. :mad2:

The copy said this is a Queen sized bed, so they must be using itty bitty side rails to display the head and foot boards.

OK, this is for glatt.
My ancient Craftsman Table saw has cast iron wings on both sides so it's pretty big, but doesn't make cutting tricky shit any easier or safer.

It has guide groves for a miter gage on both sides of the blade, so I made two hardwood strips the width but not quite the depth of these grooves. The strips were attached to a piece of plywood so it would slide across the table. It turned out to be a lot of drag so I cut reliefs in the down side with a router, then with a little wax on the strips it would slide like butter.

On the top side I screwed a backstop perpendicular to and carefully squared with, the blade. The hardwood strips extended a couple feet past the plywood(which I recently broke) with a piece to tie them together, allowed the plywood to be pulled back past the blade, and make it more stable after it's cut almost all the way through.

This jerry-rig is a dream to work with, pieces can be clamped to the backstop or even screwed down to the plywood, or wedged for tricky angles. Anything it takes to keep my fingers away from the blade.

One habit I developed at Boeing, cutting aluminum extrusions on a 5 hp, direct drive, rolling table, pattern maker's saw, is keep the blade cranked all the way up. The safety people freaked, but It works well. The blade is trying to push the work down into the table instead of throwing it back at you. I always could see the blade and knew where it was. It's not coming to me, to get hurt I have to go to it, so I always want to know where it is. If I slip and hit the blade with a knuckle, it will most likely be on the side rather than the teeth, no harm, no foul. Your mileage may vary, it's a mental thing.

Gravdigr 04-26-2016 11:39 PM

Quite cool.

Griff 04-27-2016 06:07 AM

word

glatt 04-27-2016 08:02 AM

Yes! It's been on my list of things to make. A table saw sled. And really, there's no good reason not to make one. Except that it takes a little time and I could be using that time to make something else. But I know it's an investment in my tooling that will pay off in ease of use later.
I currently am making do with miter gauges that have plywood fences bolted to them. A sled would be much better.

Big tables, if you're going to the trouble to make something, it's an excuse to invite a lot of people to see it.

That's pretty cool.

glatt 05-11-2016 08:13 AM

At first I couldn't figure out what was going on, but now I realize the surface area of the table top gets smaller as it turns into a table. You can see the gap along the edge in the flattened table that comes together into a tight joint once it's set up. That's how much it shrinks.
