Nice recycled lamp work Chaz! Good for you for taking the time to salvage instead of throwing away.
I checked out the Sharp MW drawer Reilly. Sleek for sure, cool idea. Thanks for passing that along. I personally opt out of microwave and dishwasher use, but omitting them in a spec would be an issue for most buyers.
Thanks for the comment on the rooflines Dale. I built 30" overhangs all around. It's a component of mountain homes that is often overlooked. It ate up a few more sheets of roof sheathing, but does wonders in protecting the base of the home from moisture. Clean, simple lines.
it's great to see everyone's work- keep em coming....

I'm not the builder but I'm doing a lot of the manual laboring. That has to count for something! Should be moved in by June next year.

I'm building 4 houses down in San Diego right now which is exciting and all- I guess...
What really gets me pumped is designing my own 6-8 step-up.

My humble workshop pales to all the above; some incredible and inspired work.
I continue to plug away on the studio space on nights and weekends; I started taping the drywall last weekend so that I could hang the salvaged cabinets and free up some floor space. My daughter doesn't even know that her father is a mudder.
2 1/2 years after packing my Jet table saw into storage, I finally got it set up and ran the under-floor electrical and dust collection to it, only to find the starter switch kaput. $175 later and I just fired her up.
She still purrrrrrrs.

Thanks to a young guy working the plumbing department at Home Depot, I found out iron pipe threads are the same as lamp threads.
Shouldn't be a mystery why. Originally, electric companies wired your house by snaking electric wires through the gas lines in your house. It had the dual benefit ( for them) that they could get you to stop using gas and it was easy to retrofit. 3/8" iron pipe was the standard gas lighting fixture size.
I live in a 100+ year update house, and there are gas sconces in the bedrooms that now Carry electric.
It was actually possible to have both in the same fixture. At the very beginning, electric service was spotty, so there were dual use chandeliers that enabled both kinds of lighting.
Here is a reproduction of such a chandelier.( gas not functioning)
The upper lights with the open key would have been gas and the lower ones with the thumb screws were electric.

John,as far as I can tell ,the barrel is 1.8 -2.0 mm, single wall to the though the roof kit which is triple wall to the cap.
It is a stopgap install till I can afford a nice Hearthstone stove.
Seems to work well,so far
Keeping a good eye on it.
Cost;less than 500 bucks

This has been a long, slow, project for myself and my buddy Eric. We work on it when we can but it's getting there.
I milled the lumber at 3"x8"x8' this spring, then stickered it and covered the top with some 1x12 to prevent warping. Probably sat for three months, then I planed them.
We decided to glue three together, then two, then all five. It was way more manageable this way. Anyone with any tips on glueing please fill free to speak up, because this is the first time either has made something like this.
This is beetle kilt ponderosa pine, the forests here are getting wiped out by the beetle. I lost all 12 of mine on my property and using some of it for this table. Doing the base later today and finishing some sanding and routering the bottom edge, but we can see the finish line I think.

Nice werk, Justin! Re the glue up: I thought the point of the dowels was to make the glue up
go faster as in one go? ;-)

Contractor-
A 500 sq ft shed/workshop for a work space to build the cabinets for the main house.
TJI - if there is a next time.... You can drill 2" hole with a forstner bit, then corresponding perpendicular 7/16" holes for 3/8 all thread. Every 24-36 inches. Glue up and use the all thread with washers and nuts to help provide clamping pressure, and mechanical fastening. A little more room for error than dowels. You can plug the holes with 2" plugs, but you'll need a drill press with a 5/8 chuck to cut them.
Nice way to use some backyard wood. Looks like nice character to it? What finish are you planning on applying?

Thanks Reilly, you know I'm minor leagues still.
F thanks for the advice and will definitely try that next time. Going to use a sanding sealer and a semi-gloss polyurethane finish for durability reasons. Can't wait for the smells like dizzy part!
