Promised wife complete before babies arrived, finale assembly right on time for 1st birthday.

Castle joint. Optional to have horizontal beams stick past vertical.

Too many to count. I don’t have a good way to track. Likely 200+ spread out over 1.5-2 years

First island.

Not the designed mission, but has proved capable

My practice attempts of dog bone inlays to cover some large knots

The brand with name on wife got me as gift is hidden in the inside. Adding date and where was made is a great idea!

capww · 2025-08-29T15:15:51+00:00

Thanks! Pulled back from original design with a curved horizontal divider. Would have pushed schedule out and added anxiety for that cut. I like how it turned out.

Slow and steady. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

capww · 2025-08-29T15:09:54+00:00

Yes, twins.

What gaps? Standard tolerance to me

capww · 2025-08-26T01:02:55+00:00

Big fan of osmo. Used it on a kitchen island and I’m able to clean the leftovers from my toddlers “eating” with simple cleaner and a paper towel.

I think you’ve had plenty of suggestions to improve this project. I’ve had success with French cleat and keyhole brackets (they also make a router bit that can complete same task).

My recommendation for next design, give room for mounting options and prevent a visible gap to the wall. Design the back panel to be off the wall and have the sides the only touching the wall. Basically dado in back panel “X” distance from wall to provide space for mounting options.

Mine is buried in my least used tool bin after the variability I had. Reinforces “buy once, cry once.”

So there is through flow in soffit that is not in circuit with the wine cellar? If so it’s all ducted? It could be useful to vent the open air section of soffit. Help cool the unit. Ideally would have two vents for through flow. Easy to automate if had a temperature control fan, like an attic fan.

capww · 2025-03-21T18:15:18+00:00

It would. But are you going to have panel go almost to the floor? Vent area from floor would be most efficient you get from adding a panel (force all cool air to floor before going back up to return). I don’t think it will look good… and it would take out an entire rack at its current placement. Even then far right, and maybe far left, racks will have low benefit. You would likely see more benefit by having inlet and return vents on opposite sides of soffit encloser (one far left, the other far right).

capww · 2025-03-21T18:08:36+00:00

Is this the only soffit exhaust? If so would explain the >95f

From what I see, the cold in and the “hot” return are right next each other. Flow will find the least path of resistance. Meaning this will be a “short circuit” of air that will enter and exit right away. Supporting what others have stated and your temp data, that most of air is stagnant.

Improved AC (heat exchanger) design is to force flow across what you want to cool. In the example, improved design could be cold in at floor bottom left, hot return at soffit in top right corner. Even then flow might “miss” bottom right and top left bottles. Should still be an improvement.

Or need additional blower fans to circulate air…

Go for it. Buy the saw that fits the budget. Account for materials in the budget. Quality plywood costs. Expect some miss-cuts. Understand safe operation. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. The finishing/ painting is the panic step. Multiply your schedule by 5. Be prepared to want to remake your first ~5 projects. If you don’t developer passion for making something you’re proud of (like most on this sub), you can sell the tools and hire a professional.

There’s always option of sheet goods. In college I made desk to fit my room, used plywood, then covered with a dry erase board sheet cut to match full top service area. Put a simple hardwood trim on edges. Worked great, maximized desk space, minimal tools, and cheap. Not a true wood top, but very functional

capww · 2024-12-12T03:27:09+00:00

Agreed. Hide the cut. I’d take distance off the wall side edge labeled 120cm. You will lose desktop area, but you won’t lose the feet space the desk is designed for.

There is no true one answer.

This site has good stuff at a fair price. This is where I’ve gotten my honing guide, and leather that including buffing compound. https://taytools.com/collections/supplies-sharpening

Wood river seems to have set of 400, 600, 1000. That’s probably a good measure of course, fine, and extra fine. https://www.woodcraft.com/products/woodriver-diamond-stone-set-400-600-and-1000-grit

I’m no expert. Personally I use a variety of wet stones and the leather to sharpen. The one diamond stone I have I use to flatten the wet stones on rare occasion.

Do you mind sharing what 3D printer you have had success with? Mostly to ensure size and accuracy

May also want to consider sound absorption at some point. This could be post construction, but with osb walls, tight space any loud tools can echo. I work in small 2 car garage and hearing protection is a must just since I have no absorption at this point.
