I have been wanting to make a inlaid cutting board for a long time. it was time consuming as you end up making two end grain cutting boards to get one board. the inlay is tapered and inlaid 3/4" I wanted to go more but my tapered bit was not long enough. sanding endgrain really sucks too.

I did this a while back. I added a hot water tap outside. It makes washing my car easier and more pleasurable. I added a mixing hose to get the temperature just right.

I do all my own plumbing and electrical work on my house.

Back when I got my Apple Watch there were few nightstand options so I made some of these for myself and friends. Still works fine.

this question will undoubtedly highlight my deficiency in diy but how did you get the pattern like that, did you buy the wood like that? and how about those teardrop spots? i should indicate that i also really have no idea what you mean by the inlay ha

Captain Kremmen was a late 70s/early 80s cartoon sketch on the Kenny Everett Video Show. He's pretty obscure, so there's almost no merchandise/collectables for him. So I scratch built my own. 43cm tall.

Good job!

Amazing... you must work in the film/visual industry.

Lately I've been making custom shipping crates for my friend the Tibetan art dealer. He needs to ship pieces by air from Hawai'i, which means that the crates should be as light as possible, yet still strong enough to protect items that are worth thousands of dollars. I use 5mm underlayment inside a framework of 1x2. Putting the smooth surface inside protects the items and it also means that the bond (nails) holding the ply to the 1x2s is on the inside. So the ply doesn't come loose. For the final assembly, the whole thing is nailed up with 2" nails. The piece here went from Hilo to Washington DC. Shipping was almost $1000, but the buyer knew that in advance and was OK with it.

I designed and built a desk! Sets up in less than five minutes with no screws or tools, is less than two inches thick when it's unassembled, and is gorgeous!

A sign in book for my daughters wedding. She told me 50 leaves so I drew that then up to 70. So I will make some that can be glued on as needed. She gets to sand and paint it.

Looks amazing! I just went through all the photos on your website. How much would you charge for the design so that I can get my husband to build one to replace his current mess?

Thanks! Well, the aluminum legs were costly and need to be reevaluated but I'm currently looking to take it to Kickstarter, hopefully around this late winter, early spring.

That one-off model cost about $1400 in materials and fabrication costs. It will be much cheaper to make once I nail down a mass manufacturer and a more economical design.

Let us know when it gets to Kickstarter. I'll be a happy backer.
