Re: Show your Quickie Quickie Projects
Box shelf
Wife and kids vacationing. Had some time after work so I decided to surprise my youngest by making her a box shelf on the wall atop her desk. She's been asking for it and SWMBO's been looking at those expensive rack system. I kept saying I could build a much nicer one at a fraction of the price and she'd always say that would be if I ever got around to it.
Well, today, I decided na binyagan some of my tools.
First, used the Kreg jig to build the box. Then, used the miter saw to make some mitered joints for the front lipping (if that's what it's called). Made a really silly mistake that I always thought I'd never commit: instead of cutting a front strip shaped like a trapezoid, I ended up with a parallelogram!
Just got some other left-over strip (from my boatbuild) and redid that part.
Here it is, waiting for the glue (epoxy) to dry:
Tomorrow, will plane the lip, sand, then finish.
Re: Show your Quickie Quickie Projects
Nice! Simple but functional. Just the way I like it. Is this your boatbuilding plywood? Will ordinary plywood work, too?
I didn't get what you mean by "front lipping" until I read the trapezoid ang parallelogram part. :p
I think edge banding is what its called.
BTW, where do you buy your plywood?

Timb,
You might have to plate them in gold for them to work properly. :p
Dumb mistakes will always be dumb mistakes, unless . . . . you learn from it, and then it will be learning experience.

This is just ordinary plywood I got from the nearby hardware. My boat plywood would be overkill.
For the boat, I use Tuff ply which I buy from their plant in Bulacan. Before starting the boat build, I ordered the whole lot and had them delivered.
Thanks.

Rolling sampayan:
What finish did you put? If none yet and you can disassemble it, I can offer some epoxy if you bring it over. But if you won't be hanging wet stuff on it, then no problem.
How is the pipe attached? What are the dimensions of the wood? Are they stiff enough under load?
Re: Show your Quickie Quickie Projects
Those cable lifters rock, Timber!
Had to google them, didn't have any idea what they're for.

[HTML]Rolling sampayan:
[/HTML]
yes i wonder too how the pipe was attached to the ends..10 years ago i made one like this in a hurry..one thing i found out initially with this design (because the vertical support beams are thin), they rock back and fort..
what i did is attached another wooden beam parallel and on top of the piping...this secured the pipe...for the base, i made use of a 2 x 5 salvaged lumber, vertically where the supports were fastened by screws and glue.
without any finish, the rolling sampayan i made is still standing and functioning as it is intended.
i hope you made a thru mortise and tenon just to make it a little strong in place of the 2 x 5 base i mentioned.
but simple as it is, you put a smile on your swmbo's face.

Re: Show your Quickie Quickie Projects
@doc, @balarila
The feet are 2x4s, the legs 2x3s and runners 2x2s. All undersized.
To attach the pipe I routed a hole halfway through the 2x3, about a millimeter smaller than the diameter of the pipe. Then I cut 6 2mm notches at each end of the pipe. Hammered the ends to make it taper. Then used brute force and a rubber mallet to force it into the hole in the wood.
Note the crack above the pipe.
Yes, its a through mortise and tenon. I made the tenon first and found out it was it was too small (just a third of the wood's thickness). So I enlarged the top portion of the mortise.
Is there a name for what I did above?
All joints are glued only. My initial plan was to have a third runner 6 inches up the legs, but its already sturdy as it is. Overkill nga daw sabi ni swmbo.
And thanks for the epoxy offer, balarila. Unfortunately its all glued up now and won't be leaving the house. Not even sure if we can move it upstairs. 🙁
But I'll consider it when I build the 2nd one (wonder when will that be?).
