Looking good! Glad Chet provided you a solution, my brain wasn’t able to come up with any type of suggestion.

Check out Joe Woodworker/veneer supplies. Any time I ordered veneer, it was top notch. If you google Joe Woodworker, this will bring you to his other site that has good info on how, what to use etc.. The link below is to purchase veneer. https://www.veneersupplies.com

Turned out really nice. I’m sure your daughter will love and enjoy using for years to come!

Well if the finials are a must, then I guess you got no choice but to put them on. I would say that the finials May look odd with the live edge look, and this may be a hill I’m willing to die on.

Nice job Kev! Does anybody else get a headache when looking at these chaos boards?

I never thought branding irons worked that well, since you are try to keep small. A sharpie probably gives the best overall results. I am curious how an electro etcher like knife makers use would work on wood. The stencils are really clear.

Nice. What’s your distance between threaded rods?

In the grand scheme of things, no blade isn’t a big deal, but it sort makes Laguna look like a cheap company. “Why do we need to include a blade, they can order 1 and listen to the motor hum it’s not like anyone wants to turn it on and cut something” Laguna Marketing Dept.

Your price estimate just goes to show we woodworkers are a bit crazy. We are willing to pay 2-3x not including our time, for what it would cost to buy. Quality will be better of course. With the curved rails, I would leave finials off the posts as well. To me it’s a detail that wouldn’t draw my eye to. Once the wife signs off, you should have this done in 3-4 hours! 😂

Nice work Coop! Really like the difference sized splines.

So no matter what I buy, not just things you loaded up, you will get a small cut, provided I go through the link above?

Nicely done Kev! @Chetnice job on the plaques.

You should ask the $1 store for refund for the IT degree. 🤪

Stop it, you know Coop loves to justify his purchases whatever way he can.

I think the gaps look good, also agree about not adding a chamfer.

Nicely done Chet!

No I’m not giving up sanding, I may be the rare bird that likes the RO150 and don’t break out the others. I do think that being good with planes can eliminate a lot of sanding. If someone here was looking, I could part with them, if there is no interest, I will keep for now or list on FOG or other forums.

I’m not 100% certain I’m going to get rid of anything yet, but I am thinking about listing some items. I figure I would see if anybody was interested or looking at adding to their collection here before I do anything official. What I am considering selling are: RTS 400 sander plus systainer of paper LR32 set plus 1080 holey rail - SOLD THROUGH FOG RO 90 sander set plus systainer of paper - SOLD THROUGH FOG ETS 150/3 36mm hose, it isn’t the antistatic version If anybody was local or knew someone relatively local, I would consider moving my MFT/3. If anyone is interested, I can come up with a price and send photos.

It was probably 7-8 years ago. I made a few small items, like a tablet holder and business card holders for a few clients. I don’t have any of them so not sure how it aged. I tried turning as pen blanks, just didn’t work well. The 1 piece I have left is a dark brown. It will get lighter and a bit of a red with age and UV exposure. Reason it’s called Brazillion Cherry. I have seen on a few boats and looks great, but hard to acquire in long useable lengths. I actually like teak better, but it is just to damn expensive.

Hard as a rock on tools. Some people are really allergic, luckily not me, that’s how I got a few boards. It is a great wood. It can be hard to find in sizes other than deck boards, so if you glue up, you need to clean before glue.

Next time she makes fun of your markings, go buy 200 BF, eventually she will stop messing with you or you will have more than enough wood to mess up without given a second thought.

Nice design, compared to what you have built for the bedroom, this looks a little rustic chunky. The posts could probably go on a little diet.

Why not inlay the first initial of there last name in that spot. Otherwise I got nothing for you.

I can see it now, Coop will spend 4 hours 1 day training the dog, getting it to behave and in its place, he will sit down and have a beer, goes for a 2nd and in those 15 minutes, Coop’s wife will completely undo his hard work.?

You could also may your own if you have some scrap ply around. 1/2” and 1/4”
