The deals can be great.  My main problem is I now have Milwaukee 18v and 12v and Dewalt 20v and 60v tools. 

Any expert advice on finishing an A1 grade Walnut ply?  
 

Built the cabinet out of plywood and the legs, drawer fronts and top out of real sticks.

The plywood walnut definitely has more of a red tone than the solid walnut; but then again, the drawer fronts do not really match the top so not too big of a deal. 

The dog supply cabinet is as far as I can get it now without decisions on drawer pulls.

Milo & Otis finally had another chance to do a project for fun. I have been wanting a small scale audio rack for the bedroom rig. Steve came up with a design idea using some 8/4 mahogany that he got for a song a few years ago from a guy closing up his shop. We also had a length of 8/4 white oak left over from a job last year. The shelves are mahogany and the tapered legs are white oak notched into shelves. Got all the pieces milled and a dry fit done today. It's looking great and will be greater still with sanding, chamferered edges and Rubio Monocoat finish.

I had my force field engaged. It actually eminates from an area that is disguised to look exactly like a bald spot on my head. But the informed know better.

A matching headphone stand may or may not be built to set upon the top shelf. I haven't built a headphone stand in years.

Picked up over 600 bf of 5/4 Ipe this evening, mostly 20’ x 6” deck boards.   Rich neighbor gave me a deal I could not pass up so I will have to find some way to use it.

First, cocktail tables and Adirondacks for the fire pit area.

Wait, 20’ x 6” boards? How much do each of those weigh?
