Shit you built with your own two hands (picture thread)

Hey krp, What is that, a Titan? That looks like a beast. You still in Bennington? Wife and I have recently discovered Romuntos. Good pizza and good beer selection.

Nope, just an Xterra with the offroad package and some upgrades.

Ramuntos kicks ass, its my go to for pizza a few times a month. Let me know next time you're in town, maybe we meet up for a beer or 3.

Actually I was hoping to build the vaulted section out of gingerbread to matxh the color of the rotten logs at the base

Never been very talented with woodwork but care taking for an elderly couple has given me some chances to become a bit more of a handyman. Today's projects:


Hand railing for the deck. Bottom support is a little off angle and needs to be sanded down at the top to match the other, and then stained, but still very solid:
Attachment 160130

In the event this design becomes state of the art, the dentist in me says you might want to consider obtaining some products liability insurance. Just sayin......

Tore out the drop ceiling and knocked out a few walls one year ago to redo our kitchen. I've done all the work myself, new elec, drywall, ash floors, and built all the cabinetry. Just finished with simple crown and light valance. Overall a ton of work having been done all in spare time over the last year. Still need to figure out a backsplash for some color.

The cabinets are 3/4" maple ply frameless boxes. Birch flat panel doors and drawer fronts. No cheapo thin veneers on the doors, real wood. The drawers are solid maple. Back storage wall shaker style cabinets also out of birch. Brushed aluminum toekick.

^^^ Way to pick up Dunfee's slack and get this thread back on track.

[mcski]

^^^ Beautiful cabinets! Nice work

[flatland_Dave]

Wheeeeew those dovetails...

[PlayItLeo]

Is that a Dutch pull-out table? Tage Frid style?

[Mazderati]

Beer pong and flip cup.

[RootSkier]

To the fucking rescue!

Swskier, are those dovetails, or--and I kinda hate to ask--are they pocket screw plugs? Regardless amazing work. The drawers especially.

I sold a ton of those red birch shaker style cabs back in the day. It's looks correct in the 30's craftsman bungalows.

The "dovetails" are actually just a cherry inlay as a detail.
