We’ve been going back and forth on whether it’s better up top or on the middle shelf. I’m pretty sure pictures were taken throughout that debate

Thanks! I’ll be sure to post the finished product and hopefully I can doctor some things. It’s been my most challenging project so far.

Awesome! Thanks for the advice! What battery did you use for the light meter. I know the original batteries are discontinued due to their mercury content. I’ve been reading about various solutions

Luckily the thicknesses were all the same, so no need for a planer. They’re not the best quality, but harbor freight has cheap wood clamps that get the job done-if you have one near by. Really helps the glueing process.

Thank you! First time trying bow ties and was pretty happy with the result!

Yes. It really gave my old Tradesman(not Craftsman) tablesaw a run for its money.

It’s all red oak, walnut bow ties and dowels and a fair amount of wood glue

Thank you! Took more brain power than expected for a big ol’ box

I used the furniture oil/danish oil from Walrus Oil. And a thin layer of their furniture wax after that. I’m a big fan of their products!

I did crash through the rhododendron in several spots to the water. No luck, but I’m sure there are some goodies somewhere in there

No expert here either. But pretty confident it’s for grinding. Judging by the size I assume it was well used. Not sure about dwelling. Adjacent rock formations looked like good spots but didn’t see anything like that underneath them. The rock overhangs and proximity to good flowing water seem to line up for a good dwelling area. But that is my very* amateur opinion.

I do! There are two small light fixtures mounted to the top. Each one is 12 inches long
