JPWH 5,295 #51 Posted March 25, 2018 I just recently finished two sea doo lifts for the founder of our company. Replacement parts were not available so he asked me if I would build them for him. He gave me the rusted out parts to use as a template. Mounting plates drilled. Tubes cut. Plates and tubes tacked up. I forgot to take pictures of the uprights. I delivered them to the hot dip galvanizing plant. Both have been delivered and one reassembled. 6 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,027 #53 Posted March 26, 2018 Dick that is a very nice cabinet wish I had space for something like that so the wife could fill it with who knows what. I think I am going to start filling empty jars with nuts and bolts to see if she who must be obeyed can find a place in the house to display my treasures. All kidding a side you really do some great working. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just finished making a coat/hat rack out of part of it and another piece of the piano will be used for the front of a hinged top box/bench that will sit under the coat rack. The front of this bench is the panel from the piano that sat above the keyboard, the sliding doors were to access the music rolls and the hinge was part of the cover for the piano keys. I keep my shoes and boots in the bench. A guy I used to work with recently built this bench for us in his home wood shop.

Ed Kennell 35,616 #61 Posted March 26, 2018 WOW, I just finished my winter project .......... to read this entire thread from the beginning. It wore me out just reading about all the projects you guys are working on. The talents displayed here are amazing. I had good intentions of building a golf cart for Mrs K, but the build got interrupted by some unexpected family health issues. I spent about 2 of the past 3 months in the York Hospital. I did manage to fit in a couple small projects. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

formariz 11,849 #63 Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) Here is the completed unit with distressed finish minus handles in its final destination. I am not too fond of dark distressed finishes but you got to give them what they want. Edited March 27, 2018 by formariz 5 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge 3,462 #65 Posted March 28, 2018 The years that I spent in the cabinet shop were a real source of frustration with finishes - we poured all that hard work into the jobs for people only to have them pick out finishes that were really distasteful. Did a beautiful China hutch once in an almost marmalade orange color, not kidding. Most times, the jobs were expensive hard woods done in super dark colors that totally hid the character of the wood, what a waste of money. At least for this one you built, it's still light enough to see the details, very nice job. Sarge 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 51,536 #67 Posted April 2, 2018 My wife has been collecting pen and ink drawings by a local artist and asked me to frame them. As they ate nature scenes and rustic I felt that weathered wood was the best choice and I finished them off with a strip of cherry wood. While I was at it I made one for the Wheel Horse patent blueprint too. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
