Heartwood shifting to sapwood?

I'm trying to identify the steps and risers.

There is LED strip lighting affixed to the underside of the nose of each step. The light is shining on the risers a little bit and also illuminating about half of the step below. You can see the little bright dots reflected on the third illuminated step.

Hm

Regular stairs, with a strip of lights under the bull nose leading overhanging edge of the tread, two stairs have lights that aren't lit...

What am I missing?

Wow, late poster.. Sorry..

Inconvenient Page break

It's pretty disorienting. The bottom two steps line up exactly from the angle of the photo (you can't see the risers), the next two steps have the reverse of natural lighting (lighting where a shadow should be), and the top two steps DON'T have rope lights, breaking the pattern.

I'm sure they thought the LEDs would be a cool addition, but they make the steps a little more hazardous by making them hard to see.

[Missed the posts on the next page; agree that it's lighting]

Ah, thank you. I couldn't figure out why they looked weird, and didn't think of step lighting. :smack:

Here's another great bench too nice to use...

you could walk barefoot in that shop. Look at it!

Probably the end of the day after they cleaned up to go home. :rolleyes:

Tell me more about this “cleaned up” you mention. I am curious what that is.

Every shop I worked at the benches were brushed off and the floor swept at the end of the day. Home shops, not so much. ;)

I think they just swept up for the pic. Also sawdust on the other (left) side, too.

That's their stash to mix with glue to repair oopsies.

Extra material? No extra material, incorporate it!

neat

That's what ya get when ya build yer bench outta willow and don't seal it properly.

I once cut a willow tree for a guy and he told me to "just put that log over yonder in that ravine". I came back several years later to dump a load of chips there, and there was a 20-foot willow tree growing out of that log.

But if I was a vagrant I'd be scared to sleep on that bench. :eek:

This will be Griff's floor when he's done with that new toy...

That's pretty.

yes, it is very pretty.

the saw marks on that floor were made with a circular blade.

Yeah, recycled barn boards. I worked on a house where the woman had the 2.5 car garage converted to a living/entertaining room. The floor was covered with Chestnut boards from a barn in VA that must have been 35 ft long. Just the thought of them walking on it with high heels made me sad.

Wow, just wow...

I hope it's more comfortable than it looks...

That tv antenna won't pick up nothing.

A ribcage on your ribcage.

Build your own death trap.

I pinched my finger, my scrotum, and the sensitive skin on the back of my upper arm while viewing that picture.

:lol2:

You're a lot more flexible than I imagined.

Uh, you were imagining his flexibility? :rolleyes:

A DIY project anyone can do, mount the flatscreen on the wall...

Leave it. Looks like an art installation.

Run, prisoner zero has escaped!

This is what the boss buys when he can never find anyone to blame because they're all hiding.

Such a bargain :rolleyes:...

Save what you can from it...

...woulda buffed out.

Put those derelicts to use...

Learn a lesson from the tree... it got stoned and got turned into a coffee table.

Pssst, wanna buy a slab?

No. I'm already getting some wood...

Nixie clocks could be a profitable hobby, especially since the tubes have been made more reliable.

There's a hell of a lot of work right there...

Want.

New Zealand gets short shrift in that projection.

That's fair, Hobbits are short anyway.


How about a versatile chair that can be used for business, pleasure, or in the la-bor-atory doing biology experiments. :eek2:

They seem to prefer that, unfortunately rich Americans are planning to ruin the vibe down there.

Some heavy inlay work... it could save you a fortune.
Doing this you wouldn't have time for a mistress or hangovers.

I noticed the spade and the diamond on the inside of the lid have the wrong color..

He should start over.

I can tell you want these so bad you're salivating. There goes the kids college fund, Grannie won't need a headstone we'll know it's her, and the cats are natural born killers they can get their own food.

My brain isn't scaling those, they forgot the banana.

Very seldom have to wrestle Google quite so hard for information.
And I still don't know what a poke table is, but I know more about this one:

My guess it that the wooden thorn is "poking" the metal bit.

Google has other poke tables.

Had to put "-poker" in my search, but apparently so...

Think of missionary position.

I want to build a table but I won't take a whole Redwood/Sequoia tree just one little slice.
After all they're hundreds of feet tall, they won't miss a couple inches.

This one may be Cypress, I don't remember.
