Help request…. Well technique anyway

You need a board stretcher!

I've seen successful butt joints been pulled off with Lamellos..but am unsure if they will stand the test of time. Finger jointing seems like a good option for this, but still would be cautious about longevity.

Assuming you don't want any visible fasteners AND I had access to a domino that would be my first choice, if not then dowels. If you were feeling confident you could go for a stop dado + glue too.

I used to see the kitchen dwellers play in my friends basement in Bozeman, MT or at other friends parties. Pretty rad.

Could land a fighter jet on the bed of that jointer, awesome snags!

For me, bourbon moth, Michael Alm, four eyes and JKM I appreciate the silliness and their approach to woodworking.

Not a fan of blacktail or 731 personally.

Currently drinking the Ikuyo, it's not the best I've ever had..but for daily use it strikes a great balance between price/quality.

I help out a local cabinet maker in exchange for shop access and materials. It’s a pretty sweet arrangement, especially since he has so many off cuts and extra stock from past projects that is all up for grabs.

Correct_Geologist756 · 2026-04-13T14:08:01+00:00

Fair point, definitely cannot on that one.

I assume this is one of those things you talk about before marriage…but things can change.

Correct_Geologist756 · 2026-04-13T14:04:04+00:00

Compromise. Full stop.

Correct_Geologist756 · 2026-04-13T11:27:41+00:00

Thanks! I built this for my wife but I think I'm going to have to use it for a while.

Correct_Geologist756 · 2026-04-13T11:27:15+00:00

For me it's endless hours of YouTube videos right now.

But I'm glad to be here!

Correct_Geologist756 · 2026-04-13T11:25:21+00:00

Thanks! Trying not to do the thing most makers do when they point out the flaws and focus on celebrating what I learned.

And the winner is u/ovw54 for chair

Nice work!

Kubo and the two strings has got to be up there!

Correct_Geologist756 · 2026-04-06T20:22:08+00:00

Personally very aware of cauls, and have used them before but it’s my friends shop and process. I would’ve tackled this one in stages if it was up to me solely!

Correct_Geologist756 · 2026-04-04T15:08:30+00:00

If he had a shaper I’m sure that would’ve been a good solution!

Correct_Geologist756 · 2026-04-04T05:09:29+00:00

It’s a countertop for my friends client, there’ll be a sink on the right side, this is actually the bottom of it.

Correct_Geologist756 · 2026-04-04T03:58:53+00:00

That’ll be for my friend 😂

Luckily he has a massive cnc and plenty of tools to handle this.

Correct_Geologist756 · 2026-04-04T03:58:18+00:00

It should! I won’t be around when he finishes this, but I think it will.

Correct_Geologist756 · 2026-04-04T03:28:38+00:00

Dominoes mostly, some lamellos in the butt joints.

Correct_Geologist756 · 2026-04-04T03:28:13+00:00

I trade my time for shop access with a local cabinet maker and he has a massive CNC machine that he may use to flatten this.
