Fine Woodworking

[Nikuk 1]

Lol ... I probably have one of those crates laying around

Standard finishing process:

1. Spray sealer.  Let dry half an hour.

2. Sand with 220.

3. Spray second coat of sealer.  Let dry over night.

4. Sand with 220 - no imperfections.

5. Spray first coat of laquer.  Let dry one hour.

6. Second coat of laquer.  Let dry over night.

7. Steel wool and furniture polish - for the shine.

8. Buff wax coat on - for protection.

But Nick can get whatever he wants

As an example, the total cost of wood for the coffee table pictured above was only around 60 bucks.  The glass was only 10.  60 bucks worth of wood transformed into something some people sell for thousands, which is nuts.

Sounds sexy... and that is exactly why I put off (even basic) furniture type work. I simply do not have the patience sometimes.

thousands.... tell me about it. I just sent out $260 for a wicker/ratton two person papasan (yes thats the spelling per Google). Valentine's present. Ugh. Eh. It could come in handy...

Sorry Steve, had a small family emergency yesterday. Spent 7hrs in the ER. Didn't have a chance to look into shipping yesterday. It is the agenda today.

Thanks.

Hope all is and went well at the hospital.

No rush on any further information. Take your time.

Well, well... promising news.

I've had a good conversation with a local Canadian chain store. I may be able to set up a physical address rather easily and frugally. She's checking a few details (size limitations et al) and will get back to me.

Now, I just need to find CAD somewhere to layout some schematics... hmmmm

[Chevy350TPI 12]

Sounds perfect.

I'm ready to get going whenever you are.

-Nick

[Chevy350TPI 12]

In and out of meetings all day - have one at 3:00 and it's 2:58

I'll be going back in to work tonight and can call then if need be.

My schedule/life is a bloody mess right now. :gheychase:

[Nikuk 1]

will try you on AIM tonight. say... 7pm your time?

if not, you can toll-free me @ work anytime tomorrow

-or-

we can hack it out in PM.

-Nick

[Chevy350TPI 12]

I'll be heading in to work at six my time and will probably stick around until 8:30 or so. Which is 11:30 your time, kind of late.

Maybe tomorrow afternoon could work.

[Nikuk 1]

mmkay. we can sort it out. at this point it'd prolly be easiest to chat about the "design" et al.

So i figure, the bank can pay the phone call

Anytime between 5am - 3pm your time.

-Nick

[Nikuk 1]

[Chevy350TPI 12]

Assume those take into account the thickness, right?

[Nikuk 1]

no, steve... ignore those. LoL... sorry, i posted them for references sake for Kent.

BTW... he's interested in the same thing, if you're game.

Nick

[Chevy350TPI 12]

Tell me now so I can cut / glue up two of everything

Kent, if you want my to type up everything that Nick wants and send it to you - that's fine. I can do the same, or make any changes you may want.

[Nikuk 1]

thats why im trying to tell you now...

M\Kent & I discussed it last night. I'd rather tell you now, for just that reason. If he likes the specs... of course.

Thanks again Steve.

[Chevy350TPI 12]

Not a problem. Something I enjoy doing.

We'll have to see what Kent wants

[mrray13 30]

same as nick's would be fine!!

thanks guys, i appreciate it!!

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Chevy350TPI 12]

Identical to Nicks ... no problem.

Want a gold or silver plate with your wifes name engraved into it as well? Gold or silver? Any special font?

Pine as well I assume.

would it be too much trouble to have it like a dark red finish? i don't know much about wood color, but maybe u know what i'm talking about...like a dark cherry?

gold plate..and as far as font goes, just something fancy..lol

that is all...lmao!!

um, price?

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Chevy350TPI 12]

Gold pate, good stuff. Wifes name?

Dark red - cherry would be quite a lot more than pine. I could leave it bare and you could find a dark stain, or I could find something if you wanted.

Price, honestly - look around and see what other boxes go for. I really don't know what they go for these days. Wood is pretty cheap. If you give a price that's too much I'll say forget it - I'm not out to rip you off like those knothead stores.

[mrray13 30]

wife's name...Rhonda

pine with a dark stain would be cool..if it would look good. otherwise natural to slightly darker

walmart has boxes for $14.95.peso's

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
