Beautiful, Tom.

Thank you, Bart.  The base was just A/C plywood and the top for a kerf core bend.  After doing some research I found that the best way to adhere the aluminum to the substrate was with contact cement.  The Walnut veneer was applied using the iron on PVA trick, in which you apply PVA to both surfaces, let it dry, then iron it on.  I was pleased that it worked so well.  It made positioning of the veneer very easy.

She's a thing of beauty, Marc! It's got to be nice to finally have a totally bitchin' bench!! I know I'm ecstatic to not be dealing witha sawhorse bench anymore.

Thanks, Bobby. I'm very happy with the final result. Nice and beefy.

That is VERY cool!!! I love the design.

Very nice humidor, Bob!

Beautiful desk, Dave!

Beautiful, Mike!!

Actually, that isn't a handle, is it? Cool, embellishment. I love the curve at the bottom of the leg!

That's beautiful! Jigs for the handles?

These are cool!

That's a very cool piece!!! Nice design.

That's just absolutely stunning, Greg!! Did you use a doweled hinge? Also, what kind of wood is that?

John,

What hardware did you go with. I designed our largest guest bedroom to house a queen size murphy bed, which I still need to build.

That's beautiful!! What did you use to sculpt and what's the secondary wood in the handle?

That's a tool that's on my list!! I love curves!!

Is that his/her home when you guys are off at work? He/she need a nice bed in there. No insulation?!?

Nice to finally see it in place, Lance!! Great job on the bed and the room painting!!

Very nice, Holznabie! Whos is the bed for?

That's adorable! What are the materials used?

Jammin' GROOVY, DUDE!!

Beautiful piece, Loogie!!

I really like outdoor living. My problem is no overhead cover. The storage compartments are a nice touch. What type of lumber did you use?

The body of the couch is a 7 ply AC plywood with a high exterior rating, but not rated as an exterior grade. Basically, it means it could sit at a rainy jobsite for awhile. The top is Trex and it has Behr Solid Stain for a finish. This was a very basic build. All butt joints brad nailed without glue. This will never move, so I didn't see the need for any more involved joinery. It's basically just boxes. The biggest challenge was figuring out the angles for the back. The base was made with treated lumber, leveled, shimmed and wrapped with Trex. The entire thing was caulked to the patio and the house with a GE elastomeric caulk.

That's a rockin' top, Chester!

A simple build for a rambunctious nephew.
