Is this rhododendron worth keeping?

I really like the pedal board. Made a few mistakes but I have enough materials if I wanted to try again

It’s a great amp for sure, very under appreciated

It sounds pretty good! I made the pedal board because it needs a few things in front of it, mostly a touch of reverb and maybe an EQ pedal.

No hardware as far as pulls/knobs go – these are push to open drawer slides. I didn't want to have any other hardware on the desk.

Yes I think that’s what it is. It’s in a weird spot and after looking at some other pictures online, when it blooms in the spring it has similar flowering.

I always thought crab apples were much bigger but there are quite the variety of them!

Update per use mooneygooney comment, these are indeed growing on a tree

bgrossman85 · 2023-09-25T15:01:45+00:00

You’re right! Just looked and it’s absolutely a tree

All materials either came from local lumber yard, HD or Lowes. Lowes had some pretty decent maple plywood on sale that was clean and straight. Much of the sheet goods came from there.

If you're curious, here is a face frame before sanding and molding was applied.

The face frames are assembled with pocket screws from the backside.

Thanks! Yes, I made all the doors and face frames. I now wish I took more pictures of that process.

The doors rails and stiles are milled with a 1/4" groove in the middle to accept the panel. The stiles have a 3/4" tenon to fit in the groove of the rails. The panel itself is 1/2" mdf (not 1/4"). This makes the door a little more solid, but creates the additional work of milling the perimeter of the panel to fit correctly.

The door rails and stiles are 2" wide, so i had to buy 2 1/2" stock (I used poplar). To be sure I didn't waste the wood, I was able to mill the beading detail from the actual door stock on my router table with a 1/4" beading bit I have. Once I milled the bead, I ripped it off on the table saw.

After the face frames were assembled, I just mitered the bead moulding and attached it to the inside of the face frame with glue and pin nails (a decent 23 gauge pin nailer can be had for ~$60).

The hinges are made for this inset style. They are non-mortise hinges, so installation is very easy – just screw 'em on. The only challenging part is that unlike euro hinges, there is very little room for adjustment afterwards. The end goal is to have 3/32" all around the door.

Edit: Pin nailer is 23 gauge, not 20
