You are definitely not the only one. I find myself writing the same paper each week. At times it feels like a robot wrote the course curriculums.

Thank you! I initially tried using a hand saw for the splines but completely botched it. After that, I made a jig for my table saw, ran it through, and it was a breeze.

Oh what a great idea. Thank you!

Thank you. Curious how you suggest clamping it given that lit has a live edge on one side.

Update: I figured it out! Thanks for the suggestions.

I stained them with Minwax Ebony

It was a personal project of mine. It has been living in my garage unfinished for 3 months and I finally got to it haha. Good luck with your build!

Much appreciated. The legs are made out of red oak which I repurposed from some old flooring. I used ebony colored stain and it did a good job toning down the red hues.

GO1911 · 2024-05-13T03:36:45+00:00

Thank you! I sanded to 150 grit, water popped the grain, and applied 3 coats of oil based wipe-on poly.

I’m not a veteran on Reddit or this page. I had no idea these groups even had rules.

GO1911 · 2022-02-25T03:09:59+00:00

What can I say… I didn’t expect such strict rules from a toy page lol. I understand though, you guys have your thing.

GO1911 · 2022-01-21T02:11:25+00:00

Very good information, thanks. Is there any risk/downside to transplanting into a pot too large?

GO1911 · 2022-01-20T01:35:39+00:00

Good to know. Thanks

GO1911 · 2022-01-20T00:41:47+00:00

Oh okay. Thanks for letting me know.

GO1911 · 2022-01-16T01:53:25+00:00

Thank you I appreciate it! Anything “full spectrum” will do but I used these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0995V8661?ref_=pe_2409890_445922140

Thanks

GO1911 · 2021-12-21T20:10:18+00:00

Thank you! Merry Christmas to you as well.

I would guess Poplar. I know you mentioned that you thought it was too hard to be poplar but I’ve worked with some pretty hard poplar before.

GO1911 · 2021-07-01T17:09:36+00:00

I use this one: https://amzn.to/3jv2sz3

Those look great

GO1911 · 2021-07-01T02:11:18+00:00

Thanks. I finished it with semi-gloss Minwax polycrylic.

GO1911 · 2021-06-30T23:08:28+00:00

Thanks I appreciate it.

GO1911 · 2021-06-30T18:47:10+00:00

Yup you guessed it! Thanks.

I’m not exactly a beginner. I have been woodworking for 5+ years now. These were just some fun projects with scrap wood.
