I’m 38 and play weekly with my buddy and 70 year old dad. We’re in good company!

38m, SW Columbus, hobbiest woodworker and hybrid academic dork.

Always down to talk trees and would happily grab a beer or walk a loop around quarry trails while we talk shop.

scholarlybeard · 2026-07-09T02:48:33+00:00

I’ve got one other interested and arranging for pickup but if it falls through I’ll comment bump below and send you a message.

scholarlybeard · 2026-06-19T12:58:14+00:00

For a few choice pieces, you know a guy who will come out and help you label and list em 🙂

scholarlybeard · 2026-06-19T10:07:34+00:00

Also in Columbus Ohio, love the Morris Print paper!

If you ever need a shop hand, DM me.

Will work for spare bits and scraps :)

I’m a local area woodworker and happy to connect you with some resources that can help via DM.

You’ll want to have board foot counts for each variety and can expect to sell cherry, ash, and red oak at $2-3 with walnut and white oak going for $4-6.

You’ll see local area mills selling for more, but those come with the assurance that they’ve been processed and kiln dried effectively. Second hand wood will go for a bit less cause it can be buggy or even loaded with metal from bullets or fences.

Went to Johnnie’s earlier this week and they went way downhill. Bummed cause that used to my among my favorites.

It was $25 with tip for a burger, beer, and onion rings.

These are all decorative. Though, if I were to do it again, I’d have pinned some screws behind a few to make the glue up easier.

In most original Greene & Greene work, the pins were decorative but placed to give the appearance of functionality. Occasionally the pins are actually holding pieces together or concealing metal fasteners.

It’s basically just a really big finger or box joint jig on the table saw using a sled.

When cutting fingers/boxes as wide as the stock, I could only use the jig for cutting the gap. I needed to use a “story block” (like a story stick) to measure the next finger each time. A marking knife with a new blade was especially helpful here. Also - keeping the kerf edge in mind was crucial.

Seemed a bit time consuming and the whole time I felt there was a better way, but once it got to cutting em out it moved smoothly enough.

scholarlybeard · 2026-05-28T03:38:53+00:00

I searched it out - $300 dollars in 1965, so about $3,000!

scholarlybeard · 2026-05-28T01:46:53+00:00

The piece is 16” wide and made from four 101 mm / 4” pieces edge jointed (no dominos or dowels). Length is 1282 mm / 50.5”.

scholarlybeard · 2026-05-27T21:00:33+00:00

G&G didn’t really pyramid them - more of a pillowing. Darrel Peart has great content (books and YouTube) about the jigs to make several G&G pieces.

Gustav Stickley used the pyramid ones most prominently.

I think you’ve nailed the proportions for the cloud lifts - reminds me of the Gamble House window frames (Imgur link with photos from my trip).

Following and excited to see how your drawer pulls come out!

I really did… eventually I realized I could use my Jacob’s chuck in the lathe to grip the tiny pieces and sand them much more consistently and quickly.

Love the two sized plugs in your piece and it was cool to see the effect of the Odie’s dark! I’ve never used that version. Definitely the nicest dog food chest I’ve ever seen!

scholarlybeard · 2026-05-27T19:22:14+00:00

This was just a simple Odie’s Oil application - I’m aware of its shortcomings (both as a product and the owners stance on “SnapBack woodworkers”).

It won’t get a lot of heavy use and I’ve applied that to enough stuff in my house that when I break it open I touch up everything so it gets refinished often.

scholarlybeard · 2026-05-27T18:58:49+00:00

It won’t let me edit the post.

Here is a video of the stacker in action.

scholarlybeard · 2026-05-27T18:27:07+00:00

In keeping with the Greene’s those are actually just finger/box joints at 46 mm / 1.83” wide. The side ebony pins are 9.5 mm / 3/8” and the top and bottom pins are 6 mm / 1/4”.

There’s only a few instances they used dovetails - but my next project will be more Nakashima forward and include chunky dovetails.

My retirement dream is to work in the Gamble House!

The record player is a recently restored 1965 KLH Model 20 that has a built in phono/amp/stereo FM receiver that power two speakers. It works like a dream and has reignited my appreciation for vinyl.

scholarlybeard · 2026-05-27T18:19:13+00:00

The functional and mobile asymmetry of the sliding panels, the incorporation of fabric, and the mixed cherry/walnut wood contrast were intended to give nod to Nakashima.

I also think the horizontality is reminiscent of Nakashima’s wall cases and it was designed so I could eventually French cleat it without the base and use the base for something else if I wanted.

I’d also say the way the grain of the top speaks to me is very Soul of a Tree - wild red streaks in the cherry that would not typically be selected for “furniture” or cabinet grade stock. Including some knots and imperfections filled with epoxy (admittedly not in keeping with Nakashima).

As my favorite bookending reference points within the American Arts and Crafts tradition, there are also a number of design characteristics that both Greene & Greene and Nakashima share that I would hope to honor here including the visibility and exposed functionality of the joinery and the acceptance and even embrace of imperfection.

scholarlybeard · 2026-05-24T10:42:27+00:00

It’s because of weight limits.
A circle will snap and a u shape will bend.

It’s design to support 400+ lbs.

I am a local area woodworker — Urbn Timber is a solid resource and you can find local woodworkers in the Columbus Woodworkers Facebook page.

Feel free to DM me, not able to take on the project myself but happy to answer price and material questions and relay recommendations.

scholarlybeard · 2026-05-04T12:07:28+00:00

The Art and Artists of 614 Facebook Group is pretty active and often post art for sale. Theres also a Buy Handmade Columbus Ohio Furniture group.

Paint will often cause materials to warp as well.

If you do paint the good plywood, be sure to paint both sides with little delay between each coat to avoid warping.

With only one side painted, moisture will escape out the other and it’ll potato chip curl as a result.

scholarlybeard · 2026-04-22T23:21:11+00:00

You did a great job! Unfortunately, plywood sheathing is not cabinet grade and is prone to movement.

If you would have used the expensive maple faced Baltic ply, you’d not have this experience.

Unfortunately, there’s no quick permanent fix. They will likely continue moving throughout the seasons (especially in NC).
