Wood projects

[Spoof]

Been talking about these, so here they are.

Keyboard stand and a partially done bookshelf.

Staining is an interesting beasty, I've never been terribly good at it. I used all scrap pieces of wood so it needed a dark stain.

As far as the bookshelf... they've never made a strait piece of pine that I'm aware of. Always a joy to work with. har har.

Anyone else have any projects going on?

Did you do those all yourself?

Spoof I need about 3 of those bookshelves with a lot of shelves! I swear my books are over running my bedroom. These projects are awesome! I especially like the dark stain on the keyboard stand

I love the keyboard stand. The only wood project goin on at my house is the cage we are building. Mostly my fiancee' is doing.......I try to help when I can though.
I attached a picture of it being framed out and just a little of the wire attached.

That is an awesome cage! I feel like my stuff is cobbled together (well, it is!) compared to my dad's. He has a gift, everything he does looks professional.

He built this oak entertainment center for our old house. Think it took him four or five months. I don't think he stained it. I'm big on staining because I spill something on everything.

Anyone have any tricks to share? The best I have to offer is the discovery of L brackets for cage doors. They are lifesavers.

wow he built that? uh............he should go into business! that is a beautiful piece.
but no matter what i do i am always proud that i can make something on my own!
we did paint the wood on the cage to match our living room since it is such a big piece. the chins have NO access to any of the wood, it will all be covered in either sheet metal or cage.

My dad use to do stuff like that, but he quit. He make the shelfs in my bedroom and our living room and I believe some in the dining room. There's some pretty neat ones. I'll try and take pictures this weekend or something and post them.

I'll try to post picture of my dad's work sometime.
