For drawers like this I like to use hardboard insert's. They are cheap and easy to reconfigure or remake if things change. here is one example
how is the hardboard attached? Are there dados I cant see?

so far so good for me, I will keep an eye out though!

all this means with that workoholic nature of yours ... you can now compete with Kev on project output ? haha!
Congrats on the retirement and hopefully you dont drive your insane ?

Coop, the price of green lumber has gone up alot in the last few months. Green 4/4 white oak at $2.00 bdft per truck load and 8/4 at $2.93 bdft per truck load.
What’s causing the prices to up past couple months? What does that oak pricing turn into if it’s kiln dried?

these are coming together great!! Those seats look very nice as well!

Since you already bought the laguna ... that was the laguna I am seriously considering as well in the handful I am looking at. I like the full solid piece and not 2 pieces.
Did you happen to look into the Harvey version at all?

“Santa” changed his mind and I was on the hook for a desk ASAP. So that’s why there isn’t too many pics.
I’ll get a pic of the final tomorrow when I get it installed in her room.

So I am thinking of picking one of these up for an upcoming project and just in general ... However, I am curious, would the telescoping option from them be better than the normal, sized ones? Like the 1000X series?
Not sure how sturdy that arm is if I am pushing something lets say 35-40" long and maybe like 6/4 so kinda heavy ... The below is the 3000X series with this feature

very cool!! How do you feel it came out? Looks great!
What is the spalted wood? Looks awesome with the mix there.
-
@Spanky I miss seeing that amazing looking wood you cut up ...

So I was looking through General finishes site to see what is too cold .. I found this:
QuoteFAQ CategoryIdeal Conditions are 70 degrees F and 50-70% humidity.
Refinishing furniture in a space that is below or above the 65-75 degrees F range can lead to problems, and a space below 55 degrees F is definitely too cold.
WATER-BASED TOPCOATS
One issue caused by cold temperatures with water-based topcoats is the development of dimples in the finish called Orange Peel.
So, I am not sure I have ever finished anything in their 'perfect' temp range. It is either 90-100 or 50 like it is now ... Have yall ever had issues with applying things in too hot or too cold temps? I have not noticed any negatives applying at least my stuff, ARS and HP from general finishes in the hot. Right now my garage is 60F and I put on another coat ... I am assuming below 55 I might start seeing issues?
Just thought this was interesting so figured it might deserve its own topic outside of my quick hall table thread ...
-
well that is really good to know! I should be able to spray tomorrow I think and be done with this project.
So is it always, just 1 coat of ARS then spray on top coat for indoor furniture?

If you're going to follow this up with another finish, I wouldn't bother with more than one coat. There's really not benefit to it.
Looking awesome!
oh really? Yes, I was going to spray some high endurance on there for a top coat ... Why only 1 coat? Is it just the wood type or what?
-
Sounds good! I will keep that in mind ..
Today, got my first coat of ARS on, its late so it will site overnight. Tomorrow when the shop gets above 50'ish I will put another couple on ...
and a before and after ...
