Closing on a new house this week. Stoked to get back to the house projects!
I'm building my wife a split board this summer. That will be my first attempt at a board. We'll call it an R &D prototype project. Stay tuned.Quote:

Cut up all the material and started putting boxes together.

So, my girlfriend can't drive standard, and I don't really want to teach her on my Taco, so my truck/sleeping platform is out for our week long Oregon/Washington (SLC>Oakridge>Bend>Hood River>Crystal Mt.) is out. She just got a '16 Forester and we decided to build a camping platform. After ~$200 invested, some tweaks during construction due to my lack of any real carpentry skill, we have a 45" by ~76" sleeping platform. Headroom is a little tight, and the next step is what pads we're going to use, and making/buying some mosquito netting for the large sunroof and windows. Need to add some fold down supports at an angle for the front section, but other than that, its pretty solid.
Platform outside of car, the two sections attach with a tension/draw style rotating latch on each end to give the platfom strength.

Folded up to allow front seats to be comfortable for road trips (full range of motion)

Solid week at this customers property. On to the next one.....
Catching up on old threads. Nice work on the timber frame. My spouse's brother has built a traditional timber frame cabin in eastern Quebec. I helped him put up his roof "trusses" to create the baffle between the inner and outer roof. Fun work.Quote:

My silver work...
That's pretty cool.
My wife and I have custom silver wedding rings with mountains made by a woman we once knew.
I've got a big fat ugly silver and turquoise and coral ring I've been thinking about making into something else. Do you do anything like that?
Sweeping the crap off around your woodstove is a pain. I will never understand why hearths are raised off the floor resulting in a massive lip to sweep around. Tile and stone just collect black dust. i sunk a piece of stainless into the hardwood flush and now seeping is a breeze. Attachment 187064
How hot does it get?Quote:

This stove is rated for 4 inches clearance to a combustible material behind it. It is amazing ! It is the best stove on the market for minimal clearances to code I have found. that is why i bought it. It wasnt cheap but I need space. I can have the stove cranked and when I just had it sitting on the hardwood, there was literally no heat on the floor. It is almost impossible to dry my wet shoes if I put them under the stove.
What stove is that?
SO it throws all the heat up the stack?Quote:

I am in British Columbia. Gulf Islands.
That stove does look nice. I just installed a stove with similar clearances last winter.
My latest creation for A- my house, and B- a furniture company I'm starting.
This will hold 14 pairs of big boy skis.

Sliding drawers for wax and tools. Drawers and vertical rack supports are faced with 100yo, weathered redwood. Because awesome. And, that remote is for the LEDs. Did I mention that red bench top is copper?

Pegs are double wide for obvious reasons.
Attachment 187561
This is white. A rainbow array of colors via remote. That black square is 4 power outlets. The whole rack plugs into the wall.
