Shit you built with your own two hands (picture thread)

Helped my Fab buddy do this install the other day Attachment 375239Attachment 375240Attachment 375241Attachment 375242Attachment 375243Next he’ll come back to clean then coat. This client wanted a mostly raw look so he’ll get a slight tint and protectant out of penetrol. Its more popular to blacken but this will look real sharp.

This was a fun great room chandelier addition to an old condo. 3 sections of 5' scaffold with limited clearance end to end made set up spicy. Plus only having one 12' long spongy 2 x 10" plank on either side of the chandelier to stand on made for a gripping situation. A good reason to charge large.

The 4 holes coming accross the ceiling are 4" hole saw cut's facilitating pulling romex between rafters. [tiesATTACH=CONFIG]375299[/ATTACH]

Luckily I didn't have to help break down the scaffold

The 4 holes coming across the ceiling are for fishing the wire between rafters. Luckily I didn't have to tear down the scaffold.

"Built" another couple tote bags. Have not been behind the sewing machine for a while so it felt good to get the creative juices flowing again. Vintage Canada post relay bags

[krp8128]

Nice purse.

[waveshello]

Any leaks? J/K looks nice, would like to see it with the top.

It still needs a finish, we haven't decided what to do with it yet. In the mean time since we moved, it's collecting dust and mail.

You can pee in it? Cool.

I have a DR table with mechanical drop leaves made of that stuff. I keep mineral oil on it, otherwise raw. It does patina! In my dreams one of those panels above the FP has a hidden mechanism so it opens up to reveal yer TV

That table is fuckin sweet

[BeardedClam]

Milled from the property, local, organic, free range straight grain cedar... Chofu woodstove is plumbed to it and almost fully lashed with the watertight test coming up this week... probably put some thompsons water seal on the outside of it once its stopped leaking.

for some reason the wide angle on my ladies camera makes it(and me) super distorted

[Buster Highmen]

Ours stopped leaking after a few days with water in it up to the top. We had a snorkel stove.

We could use a few boards of green cedar for window sills on our pout house project. We're up on Union Hill, a few miles NW of Carnation.

Only way I can login is by doing a quote. And can't figure out how to load pics. Lol. It's been awhile

I built three twin beds. One extra long loft style. The other two fit under it. I don't work with wood much, so I was stoked

[snoqpass]

Needed a new screen door. Apparently it’s almost impossible to find a decent wooden one to go with your house that was built in 1920. $80 of hemlock and some hardware later...

Time to make some floating tenons

Clamping time



Time get grooving

Little grooves




Done

Pretty sharp door!

I'm not ashamed to admit I get tool envy from Snoq posts.

Nooooo....don't put anything on it, especially Thompsons.

Another thing off the list. Poured some slabs last year, put in irrigation, and some walkways. This year - an arbor. Next, some more walkways and plantings.

Scene of the crime


Leveled the bases on top of sonotubes poured last year



Shot the elevations with my 30 year old robo laser.


$1500.00


Roughed and cleaned up.






Paint it black.


Posting up.


Top ties.


Hang the beams and fill in the rafters. Beams were within 1/8" for level, posts and grid were within 1/4" of square.



And listo.


The wifey is now going to sew up some retractable panels out of shade fabric that will slide on tensioned aircraft cable.
