After many coats of lacquer, and lots of sanding we have the finished product:

Do you route those legs or cnc them?

I was just going to contact you about drink carts! Do you stock them, or made to order?

 

[T_Chan]

That's odd, I thought I had replied to this thread weeks ago.

I have a couple in stock, they're normally made to order but we did a big batch recently so I made some extra.

This is done with several experimental airplane kit manufacturers. Go to the factory and build your plane in two weeks instead of one or two years on your own. (Yes I am a private pilot).

Great idea for @T_Chan. He could add an upcharge for the customer assisted build. Win win.

@T_Chan could get a lot of free labor from the PCF. A lot of guys would go up there one at a time, work for free and pay for your end product that you take home at the end of the week...dibs if it happens

Been done before, a customer who found me on craigslist years ago asked if he could help with the build process. Whenever I worked on his table, I let him know and he came by to help out. He just wanted to be involved in the process. Turned out great, he was a good helper.

Latest work getting done at the shop, solid maple feet.

...it doesn't hurt that Yoshi is a cool guy, and has an artistic mind to boot.

Doing some housekeeping, realized I buy way too many cards....

View attachment 186069

I also found 3 boxes of Kems I no longer use. I wonder why that could be...

View attachment 186071

Free to anyone who wants them, just pay shipping. I remember dropping these boxes on the floor and was too busy to sort them, so all 6 decks are mixed together but they should be complete.

If you still have these decks, I'd love to take them off your hands.

 

[mkiefer009]

Well since the cat's out of the bag now....

For anyone's who's curious, the finish is called Cocobolo.

I want this exact table

 

[T_Chan]

Pretty sure I still have those cards. I'll send you a PM to get your contact details.

 

[Amish Rabbi]

Just curious, how much do you use your cnc machine in your process?

 

[T_Chan]

Not that much. We fire up the CNC machine to cut the main table parts, rail, base, raised rail components then it lays dormant until we need another table cut. It runs probably about 8 hours a week.

 

[Amish Rabbi]

Cool! Surprised you aren’t using it for things like those maple feet.

 

[T_Chan]

I usually do when I make them out of several pieces of laminated wood. Easy to cut out a foot from 3/4" wood, but these feet are from 2" solid maple slabs. I don't have a bit long enough to make the cut. Decided to use a bandsaw/router combo instead.

I've got a set of new feet for another table that's getting cut from white oak which is going to be laminated again so they go back on the CNC.

 

[T_Chan]

Feet finished up and stained Ebony with a lacquer finish.

Working on a matching dining table cover in solid maple.

Quoted straight from the department of redundancy department!

Making good use of the CNC machine this time

 

[Amish Rabbi]

Nice. Always good to let computers do the work when you can

 

[T_Chan]

Computers and machines, definitely.

 

[Wheeler Assembly]

Can't wait to see updates on my table! Patience never has been one of my strong suits...

We rented out some of our chips over the weekend and got a few of the racks back in this condition:

Good enough opportunity for some splashed pot pr0n.

Last time @allforcharity gets any charity from you.

Last time @allforcharity gets any charity from you.

I would hope to not have to rent chips from anybody, considering I've still got several thousand to move....

 

[Poker Zombie]

Gotta admit - it was pretty though.

 

[T_Chan]

Got a box in the works.

Who can guess the wood species?

Spoiler: Wood type:

Hickory

 

[ovo]

oak ?

 

[jja412]

Cedar? Probably not red enough to be cedar.

 

[BeesKnees]

Tough to tell from the pics, I’d guess Hickory.
