Woodworking

I hope these are paid customer pieces. That figued wood (even if it's just veneer) is super expensive. Dude will go broke making pieces like that for himself

He's an ophthalmological surgeon; I'm sure he's fine. I asked what he did with the pieces and he said he gives them to friends/family because if he included the cost of his own time they'd be astronomically expensive even in the realm of high-end historical furniture. He's got hundreds of hours work in that first dresser I posted. This is all mostly done with hand tools and traditional methods.

Fuck, I hate this thread and everything about it, but I want that last cabinet/desk and musket.

can skip to around 22min in to the issue. there is also a follow up vid on his other channel

Dude your friend has some serious skills.

Back almost 25 years ago I helped a buddy out when a hurricane came through and had knocked down 11 trees on his property. (His Mom's house, and his parents Antique shop and warehouses were also on the property. He was nbow running the Antique shop)

I started working there full time, first in the woodworking area, then moved to front of shop helping with sales, marketing, management and computers.

I got to do a lot of repairs on around 1800 and above furnature that was made on some of that style. God damn just repairs was a lot of fiddly touchy stuff for hours at a time. Building it out from scratch would have killed me.

Seriously that is some impressive work. Kudos.

The intro to shop class back in HS was way more than enough of that shit to last a lifetime. This thread keeps getting new posts so I have to click it or click on mark all ready to keep this part of FOH clean in my browser. It vexes me.

You try to keep every thread read? WTF, get a hobby.

Build your watch/ignore list: Can do by forum, thread, etc.

Then click

and set filters to watched/unread and you only see what you want to.

You can watch a forum and ignore threads, or ignore entire sections.

Will the subforum still show as unread though? Will try it out.

Edaw said:

watched trumps ignore, so just mark subforum to watch

Yeah, that didn't work as hoped. So will just continue on with my low key hatred of this thread.

Only woodworking update for me is my own work and that I'll have to get busy on building that changing table! (I did start the other son's bed but it is slow with work travel).
