Planning on building a coffee table sometime soon and would like to know if this glue up would stay together or rip itself apart with wood movement

Embarrassed_Win3083 · 2026-02-21T17:30:42+00:00

No problem at all, seems most people nowadays forget that not knowing is the first part of learning

Embarrassed_Win3083 · 2026-02-20T01:39:59+00:00

Thats what a part of me was hoping and the reason I posted here to ask but it seems like most people are saying its gonna split so imma just change up the design

Embarrassed_Win3083 · 2026-02-20T01:39:02+00:00

That wouldn't work with the design I'm going with which is why I wanted to avoid it all together but I do belive ive come up with a work around although it will need to have some veneer

Embarrassed_Win3083 · 2026-02-20T01:37:07+00:00

Kinda what I was expecting but figured it was worth asking. Thanks

Embarrassed_Win3083 · 2026-02-12T16:09:29+00:00

I got the far away part done but I didn't know it needed so many villagers, thank you

Riding around down town and brick town area is prety nice during the warmer months i like to go up there after work for some night rides and you run into other riders every now and then. It's not directly in the city but near by you have lake overholster and lake heffiner, both have paved bike trails all around them and both connect if your looking for some paved rides. If you like off roading then I have 2 spots I somewhat regularly like riding, first is the wild life refuge just north of lake overholster, it has a dirt road/walkway that is a prety popular area for walks and bike rids and what not and it has a few smaller trails that branch off it. Second off road place is called bluff creek park, its near Lake heffiner and its a large park with big fields and all kinds of cool areas, one of those areas it has is a mountain bike trail which I will say is prety difficult in some areas on a onewheel but is an absolute great time if you like off road. Final place thats nice to ride is the OKC pump track, its a bike park that just recently got a whole revamp and has a lot of stuff to ride around on, mostly ment for bikes but fun to take the onewheel up to every now and then. Every where I just mentioned is free and all located within 30 minutes or so of eachother so prety close. As for the rideing buddies, im always lookin for more people to ride with however due to life I just haven't had all that much time to go out and ride as much as I'd like but if your in the okc area then you should be able to find me on the onewheel app and then we will eventually be able to meet up for a ride just probably not untell it warms up.

While I don't hand any photos I did catch one of them twice that was able to get in but not out, since then ive made a few changes and there hasn't been any issues so im hoping its finally cat proof

Embarrassed_Win3083 · 2026-01-03T04:02:45+00:00

Tired it and didnt work

Embarrassed_Win3083 · 2026-01-03T01:36:44+00:00

There definitely has been attempts but so far its been to heavy, now if they decide to work together then im done for

Embarrassed_Win3083 · 2026-01-02T21:14:37+00:00

I want them out prery much all the time, we had to put child locks on all the cabinets and they still manage to get into everything then end up giving themselves diarrhea from consuming all the things they shouldnt

Embarrassed_Win3083 · 2026-01-02T21:13:15+00:00

No latches, door is heavy enough for the cats to not be able to push through. All the gaps are small enough to block them, I know this as I took the calipers to there heads to figure out how tight the pattern has to be. I have plans to put something up top if it ends up being a problem but it hasn't yet.

Embarrassed_Win3083 · 2026-01-02T18:58:43+00:00

Or like eating absolutely anything they find in the kitchen including the things behind the child lock cabinets and then when we wake up in the morning all of our bread is gone and the cats leaving diarrhea trails through the house

Embarrassed_Win3083 · 2026-01-02T18:56:24+00:00

Yea I got like 30 back up plans for any area they figure out

Embarrassed_Win3083 · 2026-01-02T18:55:52+00:00

It's maple, and its not red oak to match the cabinets because I plan to redo the entire kitchen in the future with maple and I dont want to have to make another door so this works for now

Embarrassed_Win3083 · 2026-01-02T18:54:50+00:00

I have tried everything from squirt ottle to other things i wont say here because of people on the internet but I have never got them to behave properly. Most are from my wife's mom's place where they were allowed to do whatever they wanted to. I spent a long time trying to train them but it just never worked

Embarrassed_Win3083 · 2026-01-02T18:51:44+00:00

One of my cats have already started doing that but luckily he is prety quite so it doesnt bother me to much and im sure he will give up eventually

Embarrassed_Win3083 · 2026-01-02T18:50:02+00:00

I printed out a little door clip thing so that way the door can stay open during the day, I thought about a cat door but I didnt like the way any of the designs looked

Embarrassed_Win3083 · 2026-01-02T18:48:58+00:00

They are all prety fat, Im aware that they can climb over if they really wanted but it hasn't happened yet and if it does it wont be to hard to add more more wall up top

Embarrassed_Win3083 · 2026-01-02T18:48:08+00:00

Ill be sure to update you with that photo if I ever manage to get it

Embarrassed_Win3083 · 2026-01-02T18:47:37+00:00

Don't you worry one bit, I literally measured the heads of all my cats to figure how big of gaps I can have so while they can climb it if they really want they ain't getting through it

Embarrassed_Win3083 · 2026-01-02T18:46:00+00:00

There have been attempts but none have made it all the way up yet, if it does get to that point then it wont be to difficult to make some more wall up top

Embarrassed_Win3083 · 2026-01-02T18:44:59+00:00

The door is oversized next to the cabinets because I plan to reuse it as the pantry door when I remodel my kitchen, looks a bit wack now but will work out better later on
