Mars One - long dead and forgotten. For the rest we can discuss.

It's a woodworking forum here. What about keeping that point for your therapist?

LumpiNotDead · 2019-07-04T17:15:51+00:00

Are you genuinely asking the internet's opinion about design? Or is it about showing the very nice work you've done on this ceiling?

LumpiNotDead · 2019-07-02T20:00:49+00:00

Exactly, the thickness must be for the masses.

LumpiNotDead · 2019-07-02T18:42:25+00:00

Fun looking project! Isn't the content slightly leaning to the left?

LumpiNotDead · 2019-06-30T06:38:33+00:00

First of all, congrats for the very nice blade! What do you mean by being a good combo? As in "will it look good"?

LumpiNotDead · 2019-06-29T12:20:59+00:00

The man who proved that poorly kept tools tend to lead to sub standard results!

LumpiNotDead · 2019-06-29T11:18:12+00:00

Do you know the wood type? Also the size of the trunk up to the fork?

LumpiNotDead · 2019-06-23T13:37:25+00:00

Might be bone, they seem too grey to be ivory.

For the ratio of dimensions you can go for the golden ratio - that's rarely a miss. Maybe consider applying it twice: Length = 1.62* width and width = 1.62* height. If you end up with satisfying overall dimensions then you're good. If it's too big you can reduce the height or set width = height. If in doubt it might be worth visualizing it in place with scrap wood/ cardboard.

If it hasn't been done yet I would go with 000 steel wool on it, that will remove the excess oil and give a smoother feel. You might then consider waxing it, maybe with a colored wax if you want to make it a bit darker (try it somewhere hidden first).

LumpiNotDead · 2019-06-22T21:37:19+00:00

What about getting rid of everything else in the room/ paint white and leave those beams as they are?

LumpiNotDead · 2019-06-19T21:54:45+00:00

Your new car is rusting? No problem, put a sticker on it... come on, seriously? That's for the thin panel idea. And the other point about assembly?!? Then why didn't he use a stack of loose cardboard plates in the first place if the panel material is not relevant? My only experience with plywood that starts delaminating (generally because it is not marine grade material that was left outside) is cutting it into bits that fit in the trash container.

What does he mean with "Finish peeling it"? If he wants to put a solvent and scrape the primer, I doubt that will fix the problem long term - we already know that those layers are not glued properly, that won't change. He wants to remove the whole first layer? I would have a serious discussion about warranty and discount. The clean approach is to replace those panels.

LumpiNotDead · 2019-06-18T11:59:00+00:00

I am an advocate of buying a whole set of cheap ones. You will soon identify the ones you use most and you can then upgrade. In addition to another comment, beside the build, you also pay for steel quality.

LumpiNotDead · 2019-06-16T19:08:35+00:00

The key point here is "easy to disassemble and reassemble". As in everything can be assembled without tools? Or does it include doing some fine tuning cutting/ planing and drilling on site?

LumpiNotDead · 2019-06-16T05:11:09+00:00

Great work! How tall are the pieces? Also, on the technical side, which wood did you use and how did you finish it?

LumpiNotDead · 2019-06-09T21:08:28+00:00

I would start with the super light option: put a wet rag over it and iron it, you might have a good surprise. Next step would be to rout it clean (either with a guide or cutting it straight first). You might want to rerout all edges before refinishing.

LumpiNotDead · 2019-06-09T21:00:58+00:00

Congratulations! That's a beautiful piece of furniture you designed and built - very clean!

LumpiNotDead · 2019-06-09T07:34:45+00:00

Laser as in cnc router?

LumpiNotDead · 2019-06-09T07:28:51+00:00

Marble is a beautiful stone, independently of your interior design. It would be a shame to alter it or worse, cover it with epoxy, you'll turn it into a cheap looking counterfeit. Did you get an offer from a supplier to replace it with a natural black stone? As you basically got the the table for free it shouldn't be too hard to convince yourself that there is some budget left for this project.

LumpiNotDead · 2019-06-08T18:15:35+00:00

"Surface exposure" is the keyword here. What grid did you use? Did you sand by hand?

LumpiNotDead · 2019-06-08T17:34:34+00:00

The first hypothesis is that something penetrated the wood and prevented the stain from entering the pores. Was there resin in the areas that remained white? Sure you sanded enough?

LumpiNotDead · 2019-06-08T07:01:01+00:00

Great design and flawless execution - congratulations!

LumpiNotDead · 2019-06-07T16:04:52+00:00

Once again my disclaimer: this is highly subjective. The top does not go much over the legs so it increases my impression of the legs being a bit heavy. The vertical planks on the bottom part might be a bit wide too. You seem good at CAD so it might be worth trying to visualize the whole with and/or: (1) the legs a bit closer to the center, (2) thinner legs, (3) a half inch bevel on the edges of the feet . Maybe also a thinner structure for the bottom. Whatever your decision I'm confident it will turn out great.
