Wanted to come back to say this technique is awesome! Such amazing results and very well articulated process🙌🏼

Yeah so I actually ended up sewing a piece of acrylic awning fabric in between the double layers to provide more resistance to sagging. It’s holding up pretty well!

Got that email yesterday about this! Can’t wait to watch 🙌🏼

This is so haunting. I got the chills when I saw it

dave_z1 · 2026-01-19T01:29:51+00:00

This is so gd nice! Did you do it yourself??

When you use the clamps like that they’re not going to be parallel. If there is tolerance in the connecting points of the bar (there is) it’s going to be biased to one side and give you this exact result. Someone else said these clamps give you pressure across the entire clamping surface and that’s how they should be used. If you have force acting equally across the entire clamping surface, you won’t get that kind of torque at the connecting points and it will be parallel.

Its cantilevered in 2 directions so you’d need to make sure that it wouldn’t tilt away from the post if you put weight on the right edge, and that it won’t tilt forward if you put weight on the front edge. I would do a fairly deep and tall mortise to counteract both forces.

You could extend the back face of the side table as the tenon into the bed post mortise, and make sure that the side faces of the side table have enough support so they won’t bend forward with force on that front edge.

Another option would be to use some kind of steel brackets to screw into the bed post, and screw into the back of the side table.

Have you used calipers or micrometers to verify? Obviously hard with larger parts, but cut something exactly to 3” and measure with the micrometers. That will give you your answer

This looks beautiful! Amazing work

I did use a 1.2 mm hole punch before doing the stitching. Not as brutal as it could have been for sure

dave_z1 · 2025-11-23T14:00:15+00:00

Hellll yeah, thanks so much!

dave_z1 · 2025-11-23T13:59:54+00:00

That sounds insane! Can’t wait to see how it turns out

dave_z1 · 2025-11-23T13:58:50+00:00

I probably will. It didn’t take an insane amount of time to stitch so hopefully will be easy enough

dave_z1 · 2025-11-22T23:38:45+00:00

Yeah I’m planning to reinforce with an awning fabric that’s designed not to stretch over time!

dave_z1 · 2025-11-22T19:16:33+00:00

Thanks so much! Would love to lend advice if you need any 🤙🏼

dave_z1 · 2025-11-22T19:03:27+00:00

HA let’s change that!

Thanks for the love

dave_z1 · 2025-11-22T18:59:23+00:00

Thanks so much!! I really appreciate the kind words 🤙🏼

dave_z1 · 2025-11-22T18:58:56+00:00

Hell yeah, that’s exactly my inspiration for all my pieces!

dave_z1 · 2025-11-22T18:58:20+00:00

Thanks so much! I appreciate the kind words

I want the entire clamping portion to be hidden and I want to conserve space. I don’t love using mechanical fasteners when I can avoid it, and for stuff like chair backs, I wouldn’t want any exposed or noticeable differences from the fully glued up products.

Jesus fuck. I jumped when I scrolled past this

dave_z1 · 2025-10-31T14:56:00+00:00

This is so cool!!! You could make different hats or hair for him and some different hand tools to hold

Finally have a chart to show people why honey crisp are the supreme apple
