That is far better than anything you could buy.

I just re-read that, I built the whole house beams and all.

I just looked at the video and entranceway threads - fantastic. I've always loved post and beam houses, and yours is wonderful. What a dream project. It's so great that you were able to use cherry from your wood lot, build your own cabinets, etc. - and the fireplace! A central thermal mass column that radiates heat all day and night ... and that's an oven above the firebox, isn't it? I looked at Temp-Cast when we built but couldn't swing it.

What a beautiful place you've built, Griff.

Thanks!

Oh Griff, that looks really nice! That's a modern architectural feature, not some college couch design. Very cool.

footfootfoot · 01-19-2013, 02:29 PM

Griff has exceptionally good karma, it seems. Plus he's a great craftsman.

Trilby · 01-19-2013, 05:47 PM

I LOVE it! very cool!

today I made gingerbread. It's for the little children I am going to woo into my candy house and ....well, that's a story for another time.

Big Sarge · 01-20-2013, 12:34 AM

Griff - I truly envy your skills. Outstanding!

Today my son was sick again, so I stayed home with him and knocked out this bedside table. It's pretty basic but it'll do the job. I'll put some polyurethane on it over the weekend. Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1361995833.188354.jpg

I didn't make it today...Matter of fact, I didn't make it.

A couple weeks ago, me and best friend are finishing up dinner at the local Mexican joint, knocking back a few beers after dinner. The waiter comes w/the bill, we figure it out and give the waiter the amount for the bill w/a fair tip. A few minutes pass and the busboy comes by with a tray loaded with dirty dishes. We had already noticed the guy was the only busboy, and was positively working his ass off. He stopped and asked if we were done with our dishes he would go ahead and take them out of our way. When we got up to leave, my friend grabs the guy as he goes by, and lays a ten on our table, and makes eye contact w/him and taps the ten on the table, and points to him. The guy tells him (in barely understandable English) that he's just a busboy and not a waiter and he doesn't get tipped. Friend picks up the ten and w/one finger, gingerly pokes into his the guy's pants pocket, "No, you're working your ass off. This is yours, the waiter got his."

The other day we were in there again and the busboy comes up to us and tells my friend, while reaching into his pocket, "This is yours. I make for you." He had obviously practiced this phrase.

This is what he gave my friend:

Most excellent story and friend.

glatt · 03-08-2013, 09:21 AM

I love it. Curious how he made it. Parts of it are obvious, but the body looks complicated.

Clodfobble · 03-07-2013, 06:18 PM

That's really cool looking! I'd buy one for $10. Someone should teach that guy how to use Etsy.
