DIY Projects

I thought about doing something like this...however all of my military memorabilia etc is all tucked away in a separate room for my own personal viewing. I actually considered making a wine rack out of old mortar tubes or something similar.

Here is the updated progress with the table. Still some work to be done, but it's a step towards the right direction I think.

OK.... line it with c-4 and a nice covering of nails and broken glass.... hook it up to the door, and burglars will get a very nice surprise (like a 72 fucking virgins surprise) if they decide to break in while you're gone...
 
Me gusta! Got this lump o' wood, they were going to throw it away. Ta-da! Coffee table! Took 6 dudes to move it into place. If you can move it, I will buy make that person a tall cold drink. The cat who can move 1K pounds of table... gonna make sure he leaves happy - and hopefully never comes back!View attachment 9574

Is it just me or does that look like a giant, er, crack?

Si me gusta!

I made my first missus a headboard out of untreated Totora fence posts with treated 4x2 as the framing, just used an adze to knock the lichen off them. I love the look of rough sawn untreated wood. I wish I had the woodworking tools to do some of the stuff I dream up so sadly I'll stick to Cordura for the time being.

Dude.... that's gonna take a shitload of bartop to get the glasses to slide across the face....

LogCinco is quite handy with wood products. I have two wooden bowls he turned.

I wouldn't mark up any shipping costs. I honestly have no idea how much it'd cost to ship something like this. It really wasn't that hard to build though, and I highly recommend it as a DIY project. Not all that costly either. I got the wine barrel for $100. I had about an additional $50 in materials. Not too shabby at all. It'd probably cost near that total just to ship one out to you. This was all done with a jigsaw, miter saw, circular saw, and a drill. Nothing difficult about it.
 

It sucks. Send it to me for hard use testing... feet up, no coasters cold beers and scotch with ice... guac and chips, maybe a hot steak... plants with no saucers... cribbage, maybe a few games of Risk or Monopoly... and then a party test, with some fat ass like RB or me sitting on it... I'll write a review and then keep the test piece... free marketing for you, and free furniture for me. :thumbsup::thumbsup::wall::sneaky:

The proper response, @fox1371, is "Make it yourself, Bob..." 8-):p:thumbsup:
