[Splinter]

Assembled this little guy in the shop today.... Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic.

[WarnerConstInc.]

Very nice!

[Leo G]

Who the hell told you to use that profile for the top? Everyone knows you are suppose to mimic the profile inside the door.....And what is with that color....:rolleyes3:























:laugh3:

[Splinter]

Keep it up buddy... See that orange dead blow hammer? It works great on crusty Connecticut woodworkers...

Rory, it IS a nightstand... Part of a 5 piece bedroom set. The bed is also finished, but I stuffed it in my miniature spray room before taking a picture.

It's getting a medium-dark reddish brown stain (diluted dye base and traditional cherry stain) followed by a few coats of conversion varnish.

Tomorrow I start dresser #1. I'm already running out of room.

Gotcha I just found it odd that you just built a night stand.. Please post pics of the rest of the set whey you get a chance.

[Leo G]

Hope you have a year to wait for the complete set :laugh3:

[Splinter]

Leo wasnt kidding about the timeline.... This project isnt high priority, I went to do a few other things in the last few weeks. Here's a progress picture or two... (doors arent adjusted yet, so dont pick on my about uneven reveals)

[kornerking]

I kike the way you made the door match the drawer fronts. What is the color on the stain?

[Leo G]

I taught him everything he knows...:laugh3:

[Splinter]

The color is a mixture of ML Campbells Traditional Cherry and Traditional Mahogany. Here's a bad cell phone picture of what the girl did to the first two pieces I dropped off last month. It gives you an idea of the color too....

[Leo G]

Nice bra, holy crap, I thought I was a slob.

[Splinter]

holy crap what did you do to that picture? It looks like a crime scene.....

[Leo G]

All I did was tweak the brightness.

The rest was already there. Is that pretty close to the color of the cabinets? I didn't do a color correction on the photo.

Looks like I should have. The corrected version is much browner. With a lot of the red taken out.

[Splinter]

your picture shows up on my laptop as a light brown cabinet covered in blood red splotches... The original pic I posted looks about right to me.. It is a very reddish brown....

[Leo G]

The original is so dark I can't even see the cabinets.

[Dusty]

Nice bra, holy crap, I thought I was a slob.

Real nice, Leo. :laugh3::laugh3:
So much for your fancy photo editing.

[WarnerConstInc.]

There looks like there was some sort of wild monkey sex going on in that room.

Is that a santa clause hat too?

[Leo G]

Garbage in garbage out. I can't take a crappy photo and make it beautiful. I can only take a poor picture and make it nice.

Plus, I spent about seconds on this. I just wanted to see the woodwork.

The bra was a nice touch though, this shot going on your website?

[Splinter]

Sure... although the girl is underage, so I dont really want to put anything on my site about the monkey sex....

the color in the original comes up alright on my laptop, I just wanted to show KK what the final finish would be. It is a rather dark color. They wanted it to match some other stuff in the house.

[Splinter]

It took them awhile to get the room emptied, so I just got there today to drop off the dressers/hutch.

Another crappy pic.. I'll bring the good camera when I go back to put the hardware on. (They havent decided on knobs/pulls yet)


It's really not splotchy when you're in the room.. I cant figure out this pile of junk camera.... Half the pics are blurry too and I'm standing perfectly still... Nikon junk.. bah... :mad:

[framer55]

Now we get to see what Leo does with these pictures again.:grin:

By the way, the room looks nicer this time

One more thing, the woodwork looks nice!!!:)

[Leo G]

Let him fix his own pictures. You guys whined about the last set. I can't help it if he doesn't know how to operate a camera. How hard can it be point, push button. And my camera is a Nikon, do you see me posting pics that look like that? Hmmmmm?

Of course, not the pics from my crappy phone. They suck suck suck.

[Splinter]

I'm certainly no Ansel Adams.... Never could take a decent picture.... But this Nikon is Eff'ed up....

[JasonW]

Leo needs a hug...

Nice work Alex!

[Leo G]

Keep your hands off of me Jason. Leo does not need a hug!!

I fixed the pics as good as I can. I'm not gonna post them though.

Looks great as always Alex. Did A nice job on that corner, I knew you were worried about it. Now all you need to do is to figure out eCabs.

[JasonW]

Leo needs to get laid? lol

[Leo G]

The deed has been done already. Get off my case.











:laugh4:

[Splinter]

C'mon, post 'em up... Let see the carnage....er.. improvement...

I was on the fence whether to make the L-shaped double dresser as two freestanding dressers. I didnt want it to look like office furniture as a one piece, but the room is so small that two individual dressers might look odd squeezed so tight together. A chat with Leo helped with the decision. (I usually do the exact opposite of what he suggests, but this time he finally got something right :D )

[framer55]

Leo needs to get laid? lol

i think you got it right jason!!:)
