Fauxdenza Bedroom Storage

post from IKEA Hackers on 27 October 2011 08:35:04 PM. © IKEA Hackers

Materials: Akurum Wall Cabinet, Capita legs, pine slabs, saw, nails, stain, leather

Description: With an unsatisfying lack of storage in our tiny house, we're always looking for ways to maximize our space and keep things organized. We had a gigantic armoire that held a lot of items, but swallowed up our space. This fauxdenza was our solution to adding additional storage, but it also opens up wall space for art and the table top can be used to display items or for standing craft projects.

Step 1: Build the cabinets according to IKEA instructions
Step 2: Measure, cut and mount the pine table top.
Step 3: Stain and coat.
Step 4: Cut strips of leather for pull tab handles and nail into the cabinet doors.
Step 5: Fill your capacious fauxdenza with all your crap.

post from Do It Yourself Videos - Metacafe on 27 October 2011 08:00:00 PM. © Do It Yourself Videos - Metacafe

The clip lauryn's back story from Make It Happen (2008)Growing up, my mom used to tell me stories about Chicago,the lights, energy, the people.She dreamed of coming here and being a dancer.That's where you got the moves from.Yep. She studied to be one.Chose to be a mom instead. So she passed the dream down to me.Is she still in Glenwood?No, no. She passed away.I'm sorry.She got pretty sick when I was about 10,and it took a lot out of us, especially my dad.After Mom, he just... spent all his time in the garage.He said it kept his mind off missing her.And then one night, three years ago,I was coming back to the garage after a recital.Joel was in Indy picking up equipment and he'd asked me to stay with Dad.But some dancer friends wanted to go out to dinner.Later when I did get to the garage......I found him on the floor.He'd had a heart attack.I always wonder if I'd just got there 10 minutes earlier...You can't do that to yourself.After that, I put school on hold to stay and help Joel out with the shop.Since losing Dad, it's just been the two of us.That had to be hard.You know, all of it.Yeah.So what's in there?This? This is the best sweet and sour shrimp in Chicago.Really?Want some?Sure.Yeah, that's Lincoln Park,where all the kids hang out with the students and what not.Then you got downtown, where the bankers are.

post from Do It Yourself Videos - Metacafe on 27 October 2011 08:00:00 PM. © Do It Yourself Videos - Metacafe

The clip it's cancer from Dad (1989)Well, Mr. Tremont, I'm afraid it's cancer.Cancer.Yes. There were several malignant tumors.I think I got 'em, but we have to dosome chemotherapy. We won't radiate.Not with a man with your father's age.Maybe this is a silly question,but are you absolutely sure?Yes.A virulent form, too. It's a good thingwe went in and got it when we did.Listen, Dr. Santana.Whatever you do,don't mention cancer to my father.He's terribly anxious and frightened about that word.It's beyond anything rational.Calm down, Mr. Tremont.You'd be surprised what these older people can take.Their children tend to underestimate them.I don't underestimate him, Doctor.I want to be the one to tell him, that's all.It's cancer, isn't it?Mom, I told you.It's a cyst and they took it out. That's all.I want to go see him.Mom!Mom, you can't go see him right now.Will you listen to me?You can't expose yourself to that kind of stress.If he was all right, you'd let me see him.Oh, come on, Mom.John's only thinking about what's best for you.You know that.You got to listen to him, Mom. Come on.This is my husband and I'm gonna see him.Now, either you're gonna drive me or I'm gonna walk,but I'm goin'.

Turning Round: Delta Midi-Lathe, Part 3

post from Toolmonger on 27 October 2011 04:34:49 PM. © Toolmonger

With the first project effort behind me, I went looking for a second small craft item to turn on the Delta lathe. There are about a thousand great projects to do, but I was looking for something with a little flair. Luckily, a trip to the local Rockler store never fails to provide. There, my dad and I found a pizza-cutter kit on sale for $15 and a bit of olive wood — just the thing we needed.

Stopping by Rockler in my family is a little like sending grown men into a money hole. We normally go in pairs to keep the other one from spending the grocery money on rare woods and tools. On this occasion, it was even worse, as the local shop in nearby Richardson was holding CNC routing and turning demonstrations. After drooling over the displays and checking out a few demos, the paternal unit and I stumbled across Rockler’s excellent pizza-cutting kit that features a large steel-cutting roller and mounting hardware. All you need to do is supply a handle.

The display above the kit had one built out with olive wood that looked so good we had to try it ourselves. So another $5 for a turning blank, and we had ourselves the makings of a very heavy duty pie slicer. We are aware that you could pick one up at the store in the sub $5 range, but that really wasn’t the point here.

Roughly an hour later, we managed to wipe off the drool, stumble to the exit, and make our way home where the old man promptly mounted up the olive turning blank and picked up one of the gouges to start knocking the corners off, using the lowest 250-rpm speed on the bottom gear.

As both a son and a father, I can say that the feeling you get working with your dad is almost exactly the same when it’s the other way around. Be it cleaning the truck, woodworking, or yard work, they dig it as much as you do. I don’t think I’ve seen him that eager to play in my shop before, but away we went, making a pizza cutter handle of all things.

After it was round, a quick twist of the speed dial on the headstock got us up to around 450 rpm and I took over to work the shape, the old man looking over my shoulder, giving cues on how to work the edge of the gouge and where to let off to avoid stopping the piece on its axis.

After some debate over what looked better, the shaping was complete.

During the last project I wasn’t aware that finishing on the lathe worked out so well, so this time a regimen of sanding, high grade steel wool for buffing (750rpm), and a good coating of tung oil (250 rpm) resulted in the olive wood taking on light, honey finish with a nice sheen.

Adding the hardware the next day rendered one very expensive, custom pizza cutter. It looks great, and we had a great time in the shop building it. It’s amazing what quality tools and a little know-how will do for you — even if it is just a nice-looking stick with a wheel on it.
