Watcha Makin'?

[Crusarius]

So after looking at my wifesw sign on the lauan right next to my nice walnut sign I decided that would not do. So I made my wife a nicer one.



 

[Crusarius]

not sure if I have a book. I have just kind of been playing and got lucky on the settings for walnut. I am going to make an enclosure like 21incher has over his laser and do a direct vent outside. Having to open the doors in the shop this time of year is not great.

I have also been laser marking the back of my business cards for a little more information.

Another interesting effect you can get on canvas is spray multiple layers of different  color spray paint on the canvas. Engrave as a photo and the power levels of a greyscale will result in a multicolor painting as it burns through different color paint layers.  Wild cherry is my absolute favorite wood for laser engraving.

Not a great pic, but out they go.

Those book matched panels are really awesome Thule! Is that piece of wood at the bottom of the photo some sort of giant dovetail?

WDH and YH talked about how nice the HF hydraulic cart was for processing lumber....so I bought one I guess 6 months ago.  I do like it for surfacing lumber out of the kiln but found I use it for many other things.

Nothing heavy, but a few parts for segmented boxes I'm making.  Parts are close by to aid in production.



I didn't like the handle to lower the table as it was always in the way when processing lumber so I made a quick and dirty mod and got rid of the handle.  I thought of something with a bell crank but quick won out.

Nice ! How much weight will it hold?

[Larry]

HF says its good for 1,000 pounds.  I've had a big stack of lumber on it without any problems.

This is a great thread, Plenty of really cool ideas. I'm no pro but I've been messing around with some red cedar that I milled last spring.

[doc henderson]

tell us more TPT.  is it a foe beam and missing a side, or ???  for the edge of a ceiling?

[Don P]

Faux... blame the French and my Mother's flashcards  :D
(but handy in scrabble!)

[doc henderson]

yes you are right.  I have spelled it both ways.

This is a 23' Ponderosa Pine light distressed L shaped faux beam. I'm not sure what they are doing with it. There are 3 more matching beams in this series that I need to figure out this weekend how to build. These 3 will have partial ends and backs showing and need to blend into an opening, more or less the same size. Bit of a challenge. The color approved sample I'm building to.

 

[Crusarius]

ummm, pretty sure scotty never beamed up half a person. I think you got the name wrong

[doc henderson]

Tule is looks like you are "givin it all you got!".

ScottMW, keep those no pro projects coming.  ;D

[ScottMW]

I did a little more tinkering last weekend.I took a piece of red cedar and a trail cam picture to a friend who owns a cnc and came back with this.  We did it as an experiment for future woodworking projects. I thought it turned out petty neat.

Very cool! Excellent buck and camera!

I'm narrowing in on finishing these big cabinets.  I'm currently painting the faceframes and doors.  The faceframes will be attached with pocket screws and glue.  None of the sides will be seen as these 4 cabinets go next to each other from wall to wall in a kitchen.

A quick little project last week was to make some little doors and a top for this vanity.  My coworker didnt like the way this vanity looked, so he wanted a new top and doors.  He then installed a different bowl type sink.  I like the way the doors turned out and the top had some great grain.
