What about the other 7,000 plus out there?

epicxt, whats it going to be??  all those windows make it seem way to fancy to just be a shed 

looks to be about a 10'x20' deck with 10' high walls    why so tall?

whatever it is its looking very good.. i just cant get over how awesome the forest/landscape is out your way!

Yeah, the lush green forest is one of the benefits of living in Seattle!

The structure is going to be a small work area/office for the clients' small start-up solar power business. It will also have a small covered deck in the foreground and a sleeping platform with storage underneath on the far end.

It's been a fun project but labor-intensive as everything has to be hand-carried to the site (including the 500-pound steel I-beams that it's built on.)

Its finally summer here and I can get out into my 'workshop' for a change  [wink]

Nothing special, but my first project of the summer was to breathe some new life into this old table & benches that have been in the back yard for a few years.

This was a good trial on my sanders RO90 & ETS150/3 and Granat paper. I used the RO90 in rotex mode for stripping the old lacquer off the parts with mainly 80 grit (tried 40 grit, but getting rid of the scratch pattern wasn't worth it) and worked my way up from there to 120 for the legs and 220 for the table & benchtops. I used the ETS on large surfaces from 80 grit up and the RO90 on the curved pieces from start to finish.

[attachimg=#][attachimg=#]
I started by being lazy and sanded the top of the table top without unscrewing it from the base

[attachimg=#]
Once the top was sanded on both sides it was time to dismantle the benches and table legs and sand into the curves

[attachimg=#][attachimg=#][attachimg=#]
I made good progress on the different parts and finished sanding in abt. two days total with lacquering happening in between whenever I had something ready to go into the hobby room.

[attachimg=#]
This was my main work area for this project

[attachimg=#]
And the final result with three coats of satin marine urethane lacquer on all pieces

Not totally perfect, but I couldn't be bothered to start hand planing the table top to get all of the discolouration out since I hope to build a replacement garden furniture set in the near future. This should keep this table going strong until then.

I used my Festools and made this, still have to do some sanding and laminate it though:



It is locked down on two dolly's ready to move, that is why it looks like it is floating on MDF chunks.

Have a good one,

That looks pretty interesting - is it a reception desk?

I'd love to see the finished job.

Hi Tim...I've been using alot of beech lately. It's a nice hardwood to work with, plus my supplier is getting great looking beech. It's cheaper than the crap maple they have been getting , too. I thought about poplar , but I'm shying away from it cause its soft. After I have had four kids of my own, I understand how destructive the little bastards can be. The h.o. has three small boys and decided to go with the beech. I've been scoring some  8/4  & 6/4 that are anywhere between  10-16" in  width x 12' long and very straight.  It's kinda of become my new ( go to ) wood for everything paint-grade. Although it very stainable, I don't get a lot of requests for beech. Not sure why?  Thanks, David

Here's a different angle shot

 

[tiralie]

Thanks. Ya, I am not sure why beech is not used more.
I agree, poplar is too soft and kids are hard on everything. Maybe us Canadians are using all the good maple  [big grin]
I know it's simple, but I really like the spindle detail (break) at the top of the stair.
Nice.
Tim

OK guys you can take me off the list.
Here are the final pictures of the kitchen reface/ rebuild I did in bamboo. Built some new cabinets when I changed the kitchen shape and did the built ins. Built all doors out of Plyboo and edged them in 1/8 strips. Sprayed all with General Enduro Var and all closers are soft close. Wanted to add some light to different areas of the cabinets so fitted glass with a kind of micro dot finish. All the picture frames were done in bamboo and gave them an antique finish in black before spraying them with enduro var. The paintings in them were Japanese scrolls painted about 40 years ago and were very delicate. Left the picture fitting to the framers. Festools used, all of them. Took about six months of my spare time to complete (weekends and some evenings) Wine racks were made using the LR32 system and a 1/2" router bit. Used metal spindles to hold bottles.

thx
