ohh dood that's looking pretty nice, to bad you don't live closer otherwise i'd pay you to make mine

 

[Detri]

I wouldn't take money Gabby! I would do it aslong as you paid for the wood. Just don't expect it to be done in a hurry hehe.

 

[spongebob lover]

ohh yeah that'll be sweet and may be a box or two of beers (i'd buy them imported from the Bahamas ) just to make sure the stand and us can hold anything

 

[Detri]

hehehe...mmmm...beeeer

It would be cool. To bad I live so far away

 

[spongebob lover]

Ok well, here are some more pics of whats going on with the stand. Again, you can't see much progress from last week. Its been alot of sanding and routing lately. This week I got the facings done. A few headaches along the way. It seems the frame I built was still a little green when I put it together. I have a bit of warpage. It's not so bad i can't deal with it, but makes for a hard time lining things up and have to spend extra time shaving parts down to make them fit properly. All in all I am very happy with it. Well here are the pics I have for ya.

Ahh Sweet, the hard work will pay off in the finished product, your work looks really professional.

 

[Detri]

Thanks! For as crappy as my tank looks I'd like to have the attention elsewhere hahaha kidding. As with any job we do, there are alot of things I would do diffrently next job. Next job is going to be a storage cabinet.

Looks great Detri! I've never seen so many clamps on one stand in my life!(LOL) Can't wait to see the end product!

 

[spongebob lover]

[Frankie]

looks good! (the beer that is. lol jk)
I like to see a dude who knows how to use a clamp too.
Did you decide on a color yet for the stand?

 

[Detri]

Well it's been a few weeks since I have been able to get to work on my stand. I finally got to this past weekend.

FFrankie, Yea i did decide on the color this week. I diecided to go with a 2:1 Golden Oak/Cherry mixed stain. I get a deeper brown than red look, rather than a deeper red.

Anyway here is the progress so far. The first 2 show the drawer, not glued yet, I made to go in the bottom of the stand. The third is top with the maple trim on, four is a door and the drawer face.

Very nice work there. I like the finger joints. Did you cut them by hand or use a jig?

 

[Detri]
