Guys here that make stuff with wood; let's see what you've built

Doesn't matter what level you're on, let's see some pics. :thumbsup:

1948 Town and Country that we have in the shop. 70% of the wood has been replaced.

I checked out the pics on your website.

That's quite the restoration process on those wood cars.

Would it be inappropriate to put up pics of my kids? :rules:

Haha

I'll tell you what...we'll take your word for 'em.

In all seriousness I know you mean cabinets and furniture and stuff - well I dont do that but I did put this deck on my house after we moved in. Didnt have a deck to start with. The following pic was taken before I put cedar skirting on.

16x22. All decking is cedar and I used deckorators for the details. Underneath I have 17 post on 4 cross members - all treated. I wanted to be able to support a hot tub - which I never put on.

Bart,

Looks good. :thumbsup:

Required quite a bit of planning I would think.

I don't want to hog the thread but, this is right up my alley. A few things make woodworking more fun that metal working:
1. It's much easier to machine.
2. It won't rust when you store it.
3. You can heat your garage with any left over or mistakes.

Anyway, here are a few of my projects over the years.
This is a rocking horse I built for my nephew. It's all poplar wood that I got direct from the sawmill. The pic doesn't do it justice. In short, you can't see any screws. No they are not plugged. The are literally covered. If you want to know how, PM me. The mane was my favorite. If
you have ever tried to buy them, they are expensive. The best alternative...hair extensions sold at any hair stylist supply store

This next one is a decoration that sat over one of the entrance doors at my church.

This next one is a little craft my wife found in a garden magazine.
Long story short I did one for my Mom for her birthday. I showed to a guy at work and he wanted one. I brought his in and 4 more people at work wanted one. Then within the next 18 months I sold over 200 of them and didn't try. Everyone that saw one wanted it. It got so crazy, I was buy logs from the Amish sawmill and having him cut them down so I could plane them and machine them. It started out as cedar fence boards from Lowes!!!

The next one is pretty bad***. I did this one for a trade show display.

Stage one:

So at this point some stainless poles were going to come through the top of these bases to mount product on. I needed to cover the hole they came through in a fashion that looked trick. Those pieces that a steering column goes through when it goes through the firewall would be trick however I needed 16 and that was not in the budget. The solution. I'll make my own. I needed approx. 3" diameter balls. Those were pricey also. I found a lamp at Lowes that had 12 hollow balls bolted together as the base. $140.00 later I had 24 balls. Now drilling a hollow ball on a lathe without scratching it. No problem.....Just tighten the bolts snug, chuck it up and drill away.

The next one is a little project my wife also found and it went the same way as the squirrel feeders I sold over 200 of.

The chimney is pea gravel glued to a 2X2 with driveway concrete patch that you buy in a tube

Of course...it's a bird feeder. What else would it be. It has a slide inside it that directs the food down to the porch.

I don't recall the squirrels around here ever having it that good. :D

Seriously, glad your posted those projects. Good to see that kind of creativity with wood. :thumbsup:

Very cool Impala Man! I was wanting to see where this thread went because I have an idea of something I want made, cause I have no talent other than sarcasm! And whn you said "church", so you have the talent I see and more than likely the understanding! LOL!
PM me if you're interested!
