I really can do some woodworking

Here's a rack I made for my pool table. I play mostly 9 Ball and I don't have a ball return and the 10-15 balls always get in the way. The butt of the cue that is pictured is my jump stick. The model is a "Dirty Ernie." The shelf is made out of maple and lacewood. It's stained red to match the felt of the table and the carpet in the room.

In my "Formica is Cool" days

I made this sub box for home use (obviously). I wanted something different. This right triangle box turned out to be a lot harder than I anticipated. The 18" sub is supposed to have 9 cubic feet of airspace. So what! It only has about 4.5 cubic feet but it still shakes the walls of the house. I have to be carefull when I use it because of the neighbors.

More "Formica is Cool" stuff

I hated all the cd racks that are for sale so I decided to make my own. The shelf is made out of particle board, black formica, 1/8" plywood, and chrome rods. The particle board is completly covered with black formica inside and out. I set up a jig in order to get the holes for the chrome rod uniform. The chrome rod was really expensive so I cheated with the back cd holders. They are made from ordinary dowel stock. You can't see the back wooden rods though.

I prefer to do fine detailed work. I've always viewed house construction as "Crude." Don't get me wrong, contruction work is needed and to do it, requires skill. That aspect never interested me though.

Jammer, could you make us one of those racks for our DVDs, video games, and CDs? That would be super-great, and since Christmas is coming up, you wouldn't even have to get us a gift if you did this! lol

OH...you know I have to put my two cents in with the triangle! Can anyone tell me Jammer's mistake with the triangle? Sorry Jammer, but I am a geometry teacher. That is a very sharp looking speaker though....very cool!

didnt take geometry eh?? all you had to do was extend the base several inches and that would have given you the extra cubic feet you needed.. lol

thisnt int the actual picture.. the work sits in my mothers living room.. but it looks like this.. I made it in my woodworking class in Highschool.. I calcualted the time spent.. would have been a continous 3 months worth of hours spent on it. thats over 2100 hours


Above is a picture of a Newport Desk that i made a replica of. They are super rare antiques.. Most of them have a normal drawer up top.. but i made mine as a desk.. where the top drawer front flips down and is really a desk.. with pigeon holes and small drawers inside

Just to show how rare it is.. one sold in 1996

5. Samuel Whitehorne block-and-shell kneehole desk, Newport, Rhode Island, $3.632 million, Sotheby's, January 20, 1996.

Ill post picture when i can for those who doubt me..
