Farm or Forest??

WOW.

 

Just tell her you are going to get the wood (in the future) at Ikea. She must know that all they use is farmed wood and horsies (for the glue).

Gotta say, fantastic work! I really like to work with wood also (must resisit the jokes), but I cannot pretend to be able to accomplish the task you did with nearly the same level of perfection. If you ever get really bored you sould go into cabinetry making to fill your time. As a high end residential architect I would say those cabinets are better than what goes into the homes I design that sell for around $4MM. It must be very satisfying to have completed such a great job!

we always knew you were good with wood, Uro.

 

As a former highend residential architect I'll say very well done also...I've designed a few kitchen and cabinet installations that got the ultra-handbuilt treatment and they were very, very expensive; as BT said even multimil$$ homes don't get your level of craftsmanship that often. The butcherblock is particularly impressive and the English sink is a cool touch.

My wife's dad left me a full woodworking shop but we sold it off with the exception of a few hand tools, small chopsaw, and drillpress...my 330 and related work area now occupy the space and time. As far as carpentry goes, I'm ok for putting up moldings, doing pictureframes, adding shelves to cabinets, and repairing furniture...that's about it.

That's amazing Uro. I wish I had the ability to do something like that. Quite an accomplishment.

 

That's a crazy sink, man!

Need an electrical trim out? I'll drop over....

And to think it's taken me a month and a half to do a Sunfish daggerboard and rudder!

Next is a transom under a Mercury 150.....I'm going with 1/2" bulletproof Kevlar left over from a prison job!

Nice work, Doc!

 

Too bad nobody in Uro's family cooks!

 

very cool bookcase, and beautiful kitchen!

 

after seeing stair cabinets..... DOUBLE WOW! Never would have thought of doing something like that.

 

That's some very impressive work! I could wish I had the free time to do such stuff ... until I realized I have nowhere near the talent or patience!

 

Don't let Kitty Fishticks lick the counter weight, or he'll go crazy. Cool setup.

Amazing, Simply amazing.
We just did over our kitchen last year, and incorporated alot of built ins too. I love the Kitchen Aid Lift, would have loved to installed that one.

Excellent work

 

WOW!! Very impressive work Doc!

 

meh, I'm not that impressed. Now, if you built the TV yourself, that would impress me.

 

And to think, he didn't even grow the trees, either!

 

wow thats some awesome work, ive been working in the wood working since i was 12, im 16 now, but im only involved in sanding, packaging, and moving for now, but recently i've taught myself how to use the hinging machines, chop saw, table saw(but dad won't let me), routers, drills, shelf alignment holes, and many other tasks, so i asked for a raise and went from $10 - $12... is that good enough for my upgrade?

i loved your work, awesome!

 

btw. Honduranian Mahagony is no longer sold in the U.S., its become endangered and illegal for any sale, in which i have seen some companies close down from illegal activities.

Also, Mahagony is being grown on farms, and they recently developed a new breed that is complementary to Mahagony and its called LYPTUS.

I made cabinetry for Mrs. Ross, the owner of Ross Institute, but she never took the time to talk to me so i dont like her

Lyptus is brilliant, its a mix of two hybrids of Eucalyptus and it is only farmed for 15 years, it grows extremely fast. It also serves complementary to Oak and Cherry.

Its gorgeous! Here are a few different types/crosses of LYPTUS

Uro you are my hero.
Can you make me a ent. center?

 

Very nice work! I've worked with wood, but it was the sort of thing that would frustrate me!
