After 8 Months Of Effort, I've Finally Finished Building My Marimba!
Matt Collier 3 years ago
More up votes for this! Not only building that beautiful frame, but the time and dedication to selecting the wood for the bars and then removing excess wood to tune them to the proper pitch. Outstanding!

Redditor u/MeanCoach kindly shared the story behind the impressive photo where he's hanging on a wooden cabinet, showing how much he trusts his own work. The photo got 13.3k upvotes on the r/woodworking subreddit.
As it turns out, the cabinet was a gift for his grandmother.
"It was a cabinet made for my grandma's house, she's almost 88 and has been asking me for a new cabinet for a long time," he told Bored Panda.

The effort that you put into this is just simply amazing. Me, who has no woodworking skills whatsoever, can even appreciate this masterpiece.
"The one she had previously is more than a century old, and has many rotten parts, as she inherited it from her parents," the redditor explained that it was definitely the time for an upgrade!
At this point, the old cabinet wasn't as safe as the family would have liked.
"She [my grandma] has a lot of stuff," redditor u/MeanCoach said that she has plenty of plates, pans, and cookware in general.

"So we were afraid that the cabinets wouldn't be able to hold it, the uppers specifically."
The whole project took just under a week to complete, spread out over less than a month.
"We spent 3 weekends on her home," the redditor told us. "1 [weekend] for the lowers, 1 for the uppers, and 1 for organizing the cabinets, putting the stuff of the old cabinets on the new ones."
The redditor also shared some advice about woodworking with Bored Panda's readers. "As grampa, who has been a machinist for more than 80 years, says, always triple-check everything before assembling it. It's a lot harder to fix things after than before."

The r/woodworking subreddit is absolutely massive. At the time of writing the online community had just over 4.6 million members. It’s been growing by massive leaps and bounds ever since it was founded in 2008. And it continues to expand.
The main draw of the community comes down to several factors. First of all, the subreddit encourages people to share their own work, meaning you can get feedback on your finished or ongoing projects. And the second part is that it is chock full of incredible photos. They’re a feast for the eyes and serve as inspiration.
Another part of the sub’s appeal is that it works as an actual community. If you have any questions about woodwork, need specific advice about a problem you have, or crave constructive criticism, everyone’s happy to help.

It's subreddits like this one that are proof that there are tons of kind and friendly people around the world. All it takes is a shared hobby to find them!
The only thing you have to do is follow the subreddit’s rules, as set out in the sidebar by the moderators. That means avoiding talking about religious and political topics. Meanwhile, threads “related to firearms, religion, or flags will be allowed but locked.”
Moreover, there’s to be no sale of items or self-promotion. Memes and low-effort posts are also to be avoided.

Ah, I thought that was something different. Excuse me while I go hide my face from the world.
Recently, Bored Panda spoke about woodworking with Dr. Paul Bones, an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Texas Woman’s University. He shared how he got into the hobby and also gave some advice to anyone who’s new to DIY and working with wood.
"I love woodworking for many reasons. I’m a disabled academic, so having the ability to make something tangible, something I can see and hold helps keep me grounded. And relatively sane,” he opened up.
“I also like how there is so much to learn and so much to make. I started turning pens, then went into bottle stoppers, then bowls. Lately, I’ve been working with inlay rings and knives. It’s just a lot of fun learning new skills, applying them, and watching myself improve,” the professor said.
“It also gives me time to just sit with myself, disconnect from deadlines and emails, and be more present in the moment. That’s what keeps me glued to woodwork," he told Bored Panda.

According to OP: "I double scorched this floor before I applied the [Rit fabric] dye. Burned wood becomes a bit water resistant so the dye doesn't soak-in but instead rests on top of the wood. It's only after adding the poly did the colors shine. I diluted the dye in water, but I rarely measure so, I couldn't tell you the ratios. 'That looks about right' is my standard."

Patience and adaptability, according to the professor, are key to woodworking. They’re as important as any tool. Perhaps even more so.
"Woodworking is a skill you have to hone; no one starts out as a master craftsperson. Also remember there are so many types of woodworking: woodturning, furniture building, carving, knife making, ring making, box making, etc. It may take a while to find the type of craft you like," he told Bored Panda during an interview, earlier.

I agree it is beautiful, however, I wouldn't sit in it because of the center bar in the backrest. Even numbered slats keeps your back between the slats not on them. Also, is the center of the seat raised? Nope on one piece. The rockers are made of three pieces. You can see the different types of wood. And the headrest is also a separate piece. You can see where and how it is attached.

According to the woodworking enthusiast, anyone who’s starting out with the hobby ought to watch a few how-to videos on YouTube. They’ll help quite a bit while you figure out what exactly it is that you’d like to work on.
"While you’re watching, think about what kinds of craft work with your temperament and existing skills. For example, I do not have the patience for hand carving or furniture making. But turning small items like pens, rings, bottle stoppers, and bowls? Those are fast enough projects where I can have a finished item in no time, and there’s enough variety that I won’t get bored," the professor said.

Sure that looks sturdy, but how many Dave Grohls can you hang from it?
"There’s an old adage that a poor craftsman blames his tools, and that’s mostly true. Woodworking tools can be very expensive, and in some cases, price does equal quality. However, there are a lot of garages and shops full of topline equipment that can only produce mediocre items. Having the right tool for the job is really all that matters. Once you have experience with it, you’ll know when it’s time to upgrade. That’s a skill too," he explained.

When we built our house years and years ago, I wanted a unit like this for our great room. It never happened, but this looks exactly like what I wanted.
"I started woodworking after a couple of cross-country moves for work. I needed a table and a desk. I didn’t have a lot of money at the time. I had worked in a furniture shop for six years prior to going to grad school, so I had practical experience putting items together," the professor had shared how he got started with woodworking in his spare time.
"A trip home for a funeral introduced me to life-edge wood, and after playing with it for a while, I was hooked. I didn’t have the room (or the patience) to build furniture all the time though, so a friend suggested a lathe to me. After making like 50 pens, my wife demanded we start trying to sell what I make."

Bubbles and sparks 3 years ago
It's not sloppy, you created it and found solutions for the problems you stumbled upon while making it. That is craftsmanship. Nobody is born making million dollar pieces, it's a journey and you took a step in that direction. The skills you picked up with making this project, your next project will become better as well the next. Talent develops by thinking outside the box and trying it things. Keep it up, and forever keep this piece of art if only to see within 10 years how you've grown in your work.

After, my appointment and was getting my next cleaning scheduled and they asked me what tooth did I want to get capped first.

Go on line and search custom unique wood benches, or woodworkers. This is worth a lot
Adam Hollingsworth 3 years ago
So when I worked in a high-end custom cabinet shop, one of the accessories we offered was called a wave bench. Basically just a bench of a size with this one, with the seats contoured for ergonomically accommodating buttcheeks. They usually ran between $2,000 - $3,500 USD, depending on the size and material. I would probably say around $2,200 to $2,500 USD for this, but maybe more depending on the material. Nice work, by the way!
Bubbles and sparks 3 years ago
Look online for similar objects to get a reference and then add some. If you price craftsmanship work like this to cheap, people will think they buy rubbish. If you overprice it, you won't sell it. Add a side table or two to sell as a set and you're name is made and you can both make a name for yourself and sell it at the highest bid because it's gorgeous!

Beauty cames from broken symmetry. You even have the slightly different colours of wood laid out perfectly to get symmetric vertical colour stripes.

Finally Jumped On The Trend And Made Me An Epoxy Table. Had To Wait 2.5 Yrs For The Slab To Dry
Karen Grace 3 years ago
To dry naturally, yes. If the moisture in the wood is too high it can shrink and/or warp and all that work would be wasted.

Yeah, you gotta pour it in layers or wait forever. Glad it finally cured!
Thomas Gille 3 years ago
Anyone using slabs, especially trunk ring slab, or solid burls should look into PEG. No, it’s not antifreeze. You need a heated immersion tank - farm water troughs are good. A cheaper route is a plastic bag, like you’re marinating meat. PEG coats/fills the cells and prevents moisture transpiration. Cuts drying time way down

I love how you left the sides of the table for instead of making them square (is that the right way to describe it? English is not my first language, sometimes I'm missing the right words). Your eye for detail is great!

How does being Irish mean that you can make a Doctor Who joke? Anyone can and everyone should make Doctor Who jokes, the Doctor is delightful. Plus the show is a BBC production and the Doctor is the protector or Earth not just one country.

Learned A New Trick For Glue Squeeze Out To Save Work Later
Thomas Gille 3 years ago
Great idea for fresh glue, you obviously have good glue control. My first assignment in a college level woodworking class - 50 yeas ago - was to make a glue scraper from a bent nail and a carved handle. I still use it. If you let small beads dry it pops them off with ease and doesn't leave a mark. You can regrind the head to suit the situation
