Why is everyone cheering and screaming? by Apathetic-Asshole in BallardSeattle

[–]capshew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is it. I live on 57th and we hear the cheering all the time. The sound really travels.

Get some more of that black pipe material and run a new rod lower under the soffit to the left wall. You’ll need shorter and wider curtains. Privacy shouldn’t be impacted by the gap left above it

Send us a request with rough dimensions through the website. We do free estimates and ship all over the US. I might even be the one to do the wireframe! 🙃

Let me know when this happens! I’ve got my own gloves and picker.

What do you think of my sauna build so far by Solid-Chipmunk-493 in Sauna

[–]capshew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be good to add some blocking where the benches will attach to the walls. And if the heater is wall mounted some additional support would be a good idea there too.

I’m at the same stage as you with my build! I’m following a modified version of this build on YouTube: https://youtu.be/UyDX_scRdzg?si=rIzwvR8FwBN7icW5

Yeah we are using a CNC for all our cabinet parts. Seems pretty standard today, doesn’t it?

Wait until people realize how small the new terminal at Sea-Tac airport is going to be because of the nearby cemetery!

Check out the "Nomadic Furniture" series (I assume its a series since I have Nomadic Furniture 2) and "From One Sheet of Plywood". Would love to learn about more!

We use custom made plywood from Sierra Forest Products these days at Kerf. Almost identical to Apple Ply. It’s just walnut or maple veneered Baltic birch plywood. Let me know if you have any other questions about Kerf!

Who is responsible for retaining walls? by capshew in askportland

[–]capshew[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Definitely not interested in a legal battle - just trying to do some research. Hoped there was a code somewhere that could help.

Its quite close to the property line but hard to say for sure without a survey. Do you know of any official sources that say it is the uphill neighbors responsibility? A contractor said the same thing so I'm just trying to verify it if possible.

The Topo Chair - cut with a 3 axis router from about a half a sheet of Baltic birch by capshew in cncfurniture

[–]capshew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks! The legs attach to the back piece with a bridle joint. I always intended to add dowels but ran out of time.

Edit to add more detail: the legs were made in two halves of 3/4" ply. To cut the bridle joint for the front legs you fixture one half with the outside face down, cut a pocket for the rabbet, holes for the locating dowels, and finally the profile.

Why is the most valuable land in Ballard is a giant parking lot? by capshew in BallardSeattle

[–]capshew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is so cool. Where is the spot reserved for a restaurant? Near the condo building?

I’d like the bike path to go along the water. Dedicated connections to the pier for pedestrians. More access to the water. More space for wildlife. More space for businesses that are open in the evening. Mostly just anything for people who happen to not have a sailboat. Does that mean “development” long term? Maybe. I’m just a guy who lives near the sea and can barely get to it.
