True, but where is the treadmill?  That's what I want to know.

He's taking the pictures from it. DUH! 

Cross posting this from my shop thread...



Does this look familiar?






How about now?





Now?  



That's right!  You guessed it, its a 4x scaled up, billet aluminum 4x2 Lego brick!

Kevin...I want a whole set. Cost is no object.  


Audio rack step 3:

Cut up wood into shapes that fit together and could hole audio gear...



Got everything roughed together and seems like it will all play nice.

Just need my other 2 sets of isolation cones to show up and I am set to finish sand, assemble and then try and figure out what kind of finish I want to go with.

Right now, clear lacquer or tung oil are the front runners.

So after assembling the first level and finish sanding it, I have decided that I want to build 2 more identical units...then I want to use 2 for the base and have the third bridging those 2.
*sigh*...now I just have to find 2 more shelves.

Copy wright issues... Lego enforces it even on the little guy. Its for a friends birthday. He and his wife have a business selling Lego stuff. So if they were to sell these I think there would be trouble.

I was going to put his initials on the posts but I couldn't get the lettering to look right

Duct tape.

Just 1 inch dados.

1/2 inch holes were drilled at the shelves on the sides of the legs. The joints were glued and then a 2 1/4 inch cabinet screw run into each hole. The holes were then filled with 1/2 inch black walnut dowels, cut flush and sanded smooth. It looks like it was pinned together.

I will post up more pics this weekend. I decided to do the 3 identical units/bridge thing but I couldn't find another piece of 15 1/2 inch wide zebrawood so I had to order 2 8 inch wide pieces from Kansas City. I pick them up on Friday and then to the shop to biscuit join them, glue and clamp.

Also Friday night, I am going to shoot 2 coats of black lacquer on a pair of speakers I am refinishing.

Sunday, 2 more coats of lacquer on the speakers and then run the shelf stock through the planer, cut to size and cut the remaining dados in the other 8 legs.
Assemble, finish sand, let all the glue dry.

Sometime next week after work, I will finish sand, wipe clean and then start layering on the gloss tung oil.

My wife made me do it 

Every time someone tells me that you can't make beautiful furniture from pine going forward, after I punch them in the dick, I will show them this picture.

Absolutely stunning work Karl.
