Post pictures, for 10-30$ I'd consider buying one (plus I like banana guns)

Nice, but is the drain spout running down that step going to push out sand or filler? That's very classy.

Ron Burgundy, post that record collection! Hot drat! The projector is way cool though, a projectionist friend of mine has a goal of starting up a homebrew cinema that will start with just friends and see where it goes. I'd like to hook my artist friends up with him to do new screenings too. Torael_7, you're making me really sad I didn't go to MSOE. Here's some stuff I've been up to lately: Having fun with concrete, building a top for an ash/oak turntable stand I built (DONT DO THIS IN YOUR KITCHEN! Silica or whatever dust sucks and is bad)  Click here for the full 1536x2048 image. A desk, 36" high, black walnut legs and bookmatched spalted white oak top (its huuuge)  Click here for the full 1536x2048 image. Under it is a white ash pseudobookmatched frame, the top/sides are sort of bookmatched. Didn't turn out as cool as I thought it would. Had to turn the legs in 3 sections cos they were so loooong and I only had a home made lathe steady rest (roller blade wheels)  Click here for the full 2048x1536 image. Parts mostly done for desk  Click here for the full 2048x1536 image. Rough cut proper profile from 3/4" mdf for 14" hemisphere, turned it on a lathe  Click here for the full 2048x1536 image. ..so I could use it as a mold for vacuum forming two pieces of styrene and joining them as a lampshade  Click here for the full 2048x1536 image. ..to make this lamp  Click here for the full 453x604 image. Second ever turned bowl from scrap green white oak  Click here for the full 2048x1536 image. First ever, looks uggo and has a crack, same wood different face of the tree  Click here for the full 2048x1536 image. aforementioned turntable stand, out of an old pallet (white oak & white ash) and a little 22 gauge bent&cut sheet metal to hold the album youre listening to  Click here for the full 604x453 image.

Ron Burgundy posted:This is the 'wall of sound'. I started collecting records when I was 15, so i've been going 8 years. These Ikea units don't handle 78's very well so they are elsewhere as are my rarities. Dope. I've been collecting for maybe 8 years too, kinda lost count. I run a lovely automatic toshiba sra100. Looooove your 35mm projector, makes me remember when I was a kid and my parents would check out a 35mm projector from the city library with films and watch them. Holy poo poo that was great. How much do those run and how hard would it be to get into it having pretty much no experience?

Dwoloz, soooo cool. Please keep us updated, a friend's art collective aimed to do the same but make it on a towable base, whole thing fell through and sucked. Love seeing small home construction at this scale.

Linux Assassin posted:I have actually found that MDF will take on a nice finish if stained and polyurethane- it still does not look like a wood grain, but it does look nice, and the polyurethane finish stops it from soaking up water like a sponge. MDF is heavy and toxic. You can get nice hardwoods if you go to a real lumber yard that kiln dries their own stuff, or second best is ply. Anything can be sealed really.

Hadlock posted:I need some help. Do not remove the veneer, its actually a bit of a tricky fix. You'll need lots of clamps and to make some jigs that fit those edges well to reglue the veneer. Cut out the non-flat chipped veneer pieces into a shape that is readily copied like others said, buy veneer from a lumber source that matches the species and grain, and glue the new piece in (if you want to get fancy, with hide glue, so you can reposition it multiple times- hide glue is a "fixable" glue). Place wax paper over the glue spot then fit pieces to the furniture that sit flush with the areas you are working, and clamp the hell out of them. When its done, carefully scrape the glue and build up a dark enough finish to match the piece. You can practice building the finish on the veneer you bought and comparing it to the furniture. To buy a good piece of veneer take a straight on photo of the problem areas and print them out 8.5x11, then when you buy the veneer just match the type of grain it is. On second thought that is stupidly straight grain, if its real veneer just grab any straight grain veneer and patch it in, and use a paintbrush to "darken" any matching areas of grain.

I think its an Australian-only term, but definitely used. Other synonymous nomenclature from Hoadley: flatsawn, flat-grained, tangential-grained, plain grained, slash grained, sometimes side grained and plainsawn.

wormil posted:That looks sturdy. Link belts come in 4 foot lengths. Putting the motor on a swing arm was my first thought as well. Dell Stubbs used gravity to tension the belt but then put a foot pedal near the floor to lift the motor to act as a clutch so you can stop the work without stopping the motor.

Sudden Infant, I wanted to get a unit or two of those for holding records but I was hesitant because I didn't know how much weight they hold. In the Ikea catalog they're absolutely stuffed with art books but realistically do you think they'd hold totally full shelves 24/7? I would be stuffing them top to bottom with records.

Yep, I've used them, but I need something that basically doesn't look like expedit.

Well I'm worried because records are a shelves worst nightmare. Packed tight and heavy. I had a 5x5 Ikea Expedit from probably 2002 that I got secondhand for free and it lasted 3 moves and I filled it completely full of records, so I have to say while they look flimsy they are pretty drat tough. I just don't have experience with the Billy bookshelves. I think I'm going to pick them up after all, I just don't want it to LOOK like I am a huge record hoarder, so I think I'll get doors. I contacted a cabinetmaker I used to work next to and he quoted me ~400 for a really sturdy 3/4" ply shelf that would fit everything, but I think I'd rather have doors and hanging doors would be additional $/time and be a bitch, so I'll probably go with the Billy. I got a quote from the cabinetmaker because the shop I work at doesn't have outfeed tables or a large crosscut sled (I made the existing crosscut sled and can't unfortunately make outfeed tables because we just don't have room). Sorry for mucking up the thread so here is a quick project I made earlier this week, a one hour exercise in converting Enzo Mari's 1973 "Sedia" chair into something I can make because nobody sells 2.5cm thick lumber (converted all the units into approximate inches but used 3/4" stock lumber).  http://www.artek.fi/products/chairs/242 Enzo is an Italian designer who is kind of crazy but had some really cool ideas about furniture.

Thufir posted:Best Made started out by painting the handles of $30 axes and selling them for $300 to finance-types that wanted something manly to hang on their wall so that's entirely typical. The axes they used were actually nice axes, about 50-60$ a piece, and yeah, that company loving blows.

Ante, that's super cool but wood grain under that weight and direction of force will also fail. Why not laser cut steel? Send the design out to a local laser place that does steel, that's a neat idea/design?
