quick list of the funnest things lately
custom spice rack with turned cross rails
custom to fit certain brands and custom to fit one space
oak and walnut and cedar
a sealed trash can
used the vinyl coated foam core weather stripping
nice heavy lid of oak and the bottom is redwood
designed to work with small kitchen trash bags so i take it out more
often and it uses less space
custom size for a specific location
a life long keeper knife for a near and dear one
my first knife and i surprised myself with how nice it came out
it took much longer than anticipated but it was worth it and learned
a thing or two
i forgot the wood species
i had it labeled and then left the label side to the sun but a nice
brown very hard and dense wood where the grain really pops once you get
up to 600 grit and more and it has a 3d look to it
the buffing wheel on the lathe made for some very shiny ground off screw
heads and blade and guard as well
next projects are a simple headboard and a quick foldout clothes
drier rack which i think i will do some turnings for
shop and wood and tool organizing at the bottom of list but should
be at the top

I feel your pain. As others have suggested, SketchUp can be a great resource. Proper
planning often leads to successful results.
Give me a little time to copyright the plans and I'll post a link to the SketchUp file. You'll
need to click the PayPal button before you can download the file.

No, the point is that you are being a Dick (yes, that's a capital D)
When I mentioned pics, you said "too busy making stuff and not just
posting video links".
The video link comment has nothing to do with people posting pictures of
actual projects and was therefore totally irrelevant.
You continued your irrelevant comments with "so few here ever talk
about doing any woodworking themselves"
Once again, that has nothing to do with you (or anyone else) posting actual
pictures of their projects.
If you don't want to spend the minimal amount of time it takes to post
a pic (from snap to thread takes less than a minute) that's fine, but
please don't give us any lame excuse about being "too busy making stuff"
and don't talk down other members of the wrec.
It's not very becoming.

Seriously?
Perhaps you haven't been paying attention to those of us that make stuff
*and* post pics. It's really not all that time consuming.

No, just links to sanders, Strait-O-Planers, solvespace, etc.

Oh, he knows exactly how to use his keyboard. It's just some silly little
game that he likes to play. I guess it makes him feel cool.
Trust me, I've seen much worse in terms of posting styles.
BTW...you can say whatever you want about his posting style but he won't
respond. It's all part the game. In fact, I'm surprised he's responded to
my chiding about posting pics as much as he as. I guess I got under his skin.

Learn how to use your fu@k!ng keyboard before you go casting aspersions.

pics are fine but the point is that there is not much talk about
what has been made

those straitoplaners are worth mention especially on first encounter
not as mysterious as a lumber stretcher though

padauk is allelopathic iirc so maybe not a good wood choice but the
effort is noteworthy
but maybe that turns out to be natural fighter of gingivitis
maybe you struck gold

posting pics is too much time but do what you want with your time
still too little mention here of projects that is a fact
maybe it will spur some on to post more about the projects they have
done
but then again there is always a likelihood of a large percentage of
sock puppets here

Impressive. Did you make a video of the project? A list of the tools
you used? I've been wanting to make something like that and looked for
a tutorial on YouTube but found nothing. My first few attempts ended up
on the firewood pile, a dismal disaster.

I suggest that both of you simply plonk him like I did some while back.
You are feeding him.
