Shaky Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Decided to make my own furniture hen i moved. Keeps me busy. Stuff is solid and wont break like some of the crap I've seen and statistically speaking, people in my industry or my union only collect six pension checks on average. Figure I'll keep working around the house and maybe trick my body. Looked online in magazines and showrooms for ideas. Not exactly sure what I like, definitely know what I don't . Couple of pieces got my attention and every time I looked for more ideas I was drawn to them. I don't like dark furniture and don't care much for black lacquer, but this set kept jumping out at me so I gave it a shot. Liked the contrast of the natural wood and lacquer, but what a pain in the ass considering I don't know lacquer and was not equipped for it. This was the set I liked along with a dresser Test run before finishing It went together Drawers before and after staining. I really like the white oak rift grain pattern. Done. Probably get to the headboard in the fall. I need to mull for awhile. I used accuride touch to open drawer slides. Would have taken me more time to make a template for the recessed drawer pulls that the designer used and I really didn't want to break up the grain. The black is a pain so I may not make a dresser.

Shaky Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Went for a light color for my bedroom. Couldn't match it, some screwball color. Almost went with the natural white oak color without stain but my sister in law and my cousin both picked the pickled oak sample I had stained so I stopped mulling and went with that. Rails Dry fitting the base. Fitting the top Done. Went with the veneered top. But they are screw on so if they are damaged or I change my mind I can change out the tops. Drawer faces were a nightmare. MDF measured less that three quarters and I framed it out with oak hoping to prevent dings.Fixed it with edge banding, two layers, but it's sad when you have to measure manufactured wood. Live and learn. Still working on dresser drawers. Headboard to follow. Chunkah, riverrunner and Scallywag 3 If you are ugly you are ugly.

I know a lot of dudes in my work that retire and kick it too. Carpenters union. NYC. I installed office furniture. I know a few guys who retired and they're miserable pricks who deserve to die.

Scallywag Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 I get it. Even though I fix things for a living, I still enjoy doing it for myself. I like building/making things too. Keep up the good work. It'll keep ya topside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaky Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Ended up with these scraps when I mitered the legs, maybe three inches in depth. Made some interesting designs. Going to play around with some light and dark boards cut some different angles out and glue them up. Slice off 1/4 or 1/2 inch thick pieces and use the designs on the headboards or coffee and end tables bassackward and Scallywag 2 If you are ugly you are ugly.
