Following Directions Twice

[larry merlau]

Well got one of my Bucket List things done before the air runs out.. had this on the list for years, and with everything going on the last couple years figured i better get to it.
DISCLAIMER: i have the wood magazine, and made these with there directions, wasn't sure i could read and follow directions at my age. Had one copyright issue that was cleared up, so these are NOT my idea and are NOT being sold. they are V Day gift's to my 2 grand daughters.

Those look great bud! Your grand girls are going to love them

 

[Bill Satko]

No, they look much better than great! I really like design. Looks like you really nailed the proportions. And the execution is exquisite!

But what is with the DISCLAIMER? Expecting rocks being thrown your way?

 

[Jim DeLaney]

Really nice! Like the Brusso hinges you used, too.

 

[Ted Calver]

Sweet!!!

 

[Steve Southwood]

For my 5000th post I say this. Damn fine job. Well done

 

[glenn bradley]

I can only echo what other people have said, beautifully done.

 

[Jonathan Shively]

Out of this world Larry! Hope you signed them and hid a note in them somewhere. Boy you grandpas are upping the bar!!!!

 

[Brian Timmons]

Very nice. Your grand daughters should be very proud.

 

[Bill Arnold]

Beautiful, Larry! Simply beautiful!!!!!

 

[fred hargis]

Holy cow, those are really nice Larry. Undobtably an heirloom for your granddaughters.

Now, that is impressive. Love the wood choice and, as others have said, flawless execution. It also warms my heart to see you have been busy in the shop. Well done my friend, well done.

Well Larry, you just left me speechless. Those are lovely, and the wood combination is great! I like mixing woods but there is always the danger of colours weighing more than others in proportion but those are really balanced. I've noticed the hinges, are they Brusso ones?

Copyright issue? I thought that anything that is published on a ww magazine is free to be made by the readers isn't it?

 

[larry merlau]

Toni, yes on Brusso hinges. I have learned that you dont go cheap on hardware on something you want to last. i saw the article on these many years ago and stashed it away.. thanks for the comments but others here deserve the credit for some of this ,, the knowledge shared amongst us has gotten me to where i am today in skill sets. this group can accomplish anything they set out to do. the disclaimer is there for clarification of previous posts and info given.
