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

^^^ With handrail, client still needs to paint and install treads

[BigDaddy]

HT, that is awesome work. Can you give me an idea what the cost for that was? I could easily imagine it being in the high four figures, maybe even five. That handrail is amazing and I know from experience, not easy to do. (I put together a kit from The Iron Shop, but bent my own railing.) Spiral stairs can be a huge space saver and work great as long as they are no less than 5' in diameter... which it looks like those are?

[HobieTony]

^^^ Mid-high 4 figures. I did the work on a T and M basis, there were a number of other projects I am working on at the house (front entry, kitchen entry - visible in the pic above, a castle door/shop door, and some other items). Maybe three+ weeks of labor? Client had some of the materials on site, including that big central square pole. Total diameter is something over 6'. I had a local fab shop bend the railing, they just freehanded the spiral through a tubing bender on site, pretty cool, I stitched the segments together. I think I could do the bending next time as well.

[Foggy_Goggles]

Nice! At first I didn't see the square center pole. That takes the stair math to the next level.

Kitchen cabinets, drawers and island. Still working on doors. Wife did the slate backsplash.

Very nice eldereldo. Is that water above the stove? I don't recall ever seeing that done before. Is it something that you would do again? Just thinking ahead

[PlayItLeo]

^^^^ pot filler for pasta etc... Pretty nice feature. Kinda wish I'd done it in my kitchen.

I have one of those hot water pot fillers in my kitchen over the range. I use it every day. It's pretty sweet. With that said, it's only 4 extra steps to the sink so I don't think I would go to too much extra work to have it unless I had cash to burn.

[eldereldo]

Yeh, pot filler. Wasn't sure about how much we would use it, but it wasn't that expensive so decided to put it in anyway. Turns out, quite a lot. Put a carbon filter on the supply line as we are on well water and it occasionally gets cloudy so we use this for all our cooking and drinking. And it is real nice to fill up big pots for pasta, etc,even though the sink isn't even a step away.

Nice work

[WaistDeepGroomers]

Never been very talented with woodwork but care taking for an elderly couple has given me some chances to become a bit more of a handyman. Today's projects:


Hand railing for the deck. Bottom support is a little off angle and needs to be sanded down at the top to match the other, and then stained, but still very solid:
