Hummingbird Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 I was working on when I somehow lost concentration and darn near lost my thumb. I finally finished construction today, decided not to finish it - it a lot easier to stain, seal and finish before putting the pieces together. It's all poplar wood, even the side and back panels. I re-saw 3/4" boards up to 8" wide to make the panels. I definitely NOT a fan of fiber board -
Brake Pad Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 With that talent, How come you not making custom motorcycle trailers? with all the people that tow here.
mini-muffin Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 Beautiful cabinet, nice job. I've never been a fan of fiber board either. Margaret
Motorcycle Mike Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 I definitely NOT a fan of fiber board - You can't call it woodworking if it's not wood. Nice work. I'm an avide woodworker myself. I'll post some pics soon.
Hummingbird Posted August 8, 2010 Author Posted August 8, 2010 You can't call it woodworking if it's not wood. Nice work. I'm an avide woodworker myself. I'll post some pics soon. Please do - I like to see others work. helps me improve, 'cause I'm strictly amateur
Squidley Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 I dont think I'd be calling myself an amateur if I made creations like that Dick That is a beautiful piece of furniture
Mariner Fan Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 Beautiful!! Wish I could build something like that!

Hummingbird Posted August 9, 2010 Author Posted August 9, 2010 Another woodworker here. I like that style of furniture, very practical and nice dimensions. Is it your design? more or less - I fashioned it after an antique cupboard we have, several differences tho - one being that the original doesn't have glass but it does have sculptured top. Also some dimensions are slightly smaller, makes it more suitable in most homes. I just enjoy creating -
massey130 Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 another avid woodworker here, I don't have time to make stuff right now, other than on my lathe, but we have a couple rent houses we are remodeling, so that is takin up my time. I recently acquired some new tools and had to re-arrange the shop. here is a basic pic of what it looks like. i do scooter n cage work closer to the big door. from the rear driver tail light of the lil red truck, look to your left a bit an u can see the right mirror of the scooter.

It looks like you can at least walk thru your shop. My work area is the larger side of a 2 car garage - gets tight every once in a while.

Squidley Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Darrin - i'ma gonna drive upa there ana talka you :rotfl: Please do and put the boots to his BIG behind
Hummingbird Posted August 9, 2010 Author Posted August 9, 2010 Please do and put the boots to his BIG behind wouldn't do a bit of good - we all knows he's too far gone. ( but I wouldn't have it any other way )
