my newest creation.

Well, ive always wanted one of these, never really had the money for one so i said to hell with it and built my own, may not be perfect to anyone else but i couldnt be happier with it.

NO nails or screws in the whole thing, very little wood glue only in the main side posts.

Worked wiht a table saw, drill, paint scraper, and rubber mallet.

I think it's beautiful! I'd rather have that than something too expensive and probably not made with love!

I never thought of building a fence to keep the kids out of the sink and off the stove! ;)

Just kidding, looks great! I have wanted to try my hand at that as well. The hardest part seems to be finding the right pieces of wood to make it.

[Foam Steak]

Nice job! I doubt I would have the skills to get all of those holes lined up correctly. Excellent.

[Yungun]

Very Nice ...

What kind of wood did you use?
I have seen where you can buy the auger bits to make that kind of furniture. Did you use wood that has been dried? I'd like to make patio furniture like that. Nice job.

[therron258]

it has almost all dried out, still somewhat sappy, im gonna let it sit inside for a few weeks and keep a space heater on it to try and trydraw out all that sap...i just used regular old pattle bits from wal mart, 13 bucks for 12 of em i believe. Im working on nightstands now.

thats pretty cool looking i bet it would look great in my rooom :D hahah just kidding

[therron258]

i thought about building more, but i wouldnt be able to sell them

[kybowhunter64]

i thought about building more, but i wouldnt be able to sell them



why not lol just because of the amount of work that is put into them

[therron258]

well, i doubt anyone would buy them lol

[predator]

That looks as good as some of that "Amish Crafted" furniture I seen selling for hundreds of dollars. You ought to try to sell some.

[therron258]

im sure i could get it lookin better, that was just put together as i went..

[carpenterguy]

nice job man. i love that rustic stuff, and all these people from out of state with getaway cabins here seem to love it too. every house we build for out of towners is always rustic like that. I'd say you could sure sell em.

[eddiejohn4]

Nice, american craftsmanship at its finest.:)

[therron258]

i might see what i can do then...how would i set prices??

[trust me]

What did you use...Cedar?

[therron258]

yeahhh, cedar.

[raven_over_easy]

Great Job!

[bcdh1]

that is Awesome

[carpenterguy]

i'm not sure on the prices but i'll ask my boss tommorow. he just had some custom handrails like that made for a house and he said that the company would make beds and nightstands too. I'll check and see what he has to say..

[therron258]

alright, thanks!

[Xi Bowhunter]

That looks better and more rustic than the ones they sell at bass pro. Nice job.:)

[therron258]

yeah, the spindles or whatever they are look crooked in the top one for some reason..they arent really like that haha ig uess it was pic angle?
