Random (non-Jeep) Shit You’re Working On....

Never knew something like that existed. Very cool.
Took me some digging to find these. I started by looking up Honeywell zone dampers since that’s what most of the houses have that I manage. But that would take a professional and some serious money to install and modify my system.
 
My most recent furniture build.

I work for an oil and gas distribution company, but woodworking is my passion.

I can make almost anything out of wood. Popular sellers are Cornhole boards (trying to get away from them since that market is saturated), and smalls that sell. But I love the big projects like furniture.

Made this desk for my wife, I made two of them. The second one sold for $800 and cost me about $75 to build. Win win.

Really wish I had more time to do this

Super sharp and love the contrast. I could easily see how you could get 8 bills for it. That said and I'm willing to bet it's way better built than what's found in any box store.

Most definitely better built.

The carcass (skeleton) of it is just basic construction grade 2x4s. The top is made out of hardwood (in this case Elm) from a local sawmill. The back and shelves are made out of cabinet grade plywood.

If I made that out of all locally sourced hardwood instead of construction grade for the skeleton the cost would have been about $140 to build it but would have raised the cost by about double (a lot more wear and tear on the tools).
 
Well after hauling my coffee stuff (150-200lbs) around for over 2 years on my Harbor Freight Haul Master cargo rack I noticed it was beginning to sag and feeling loose (cue the jokes). To complete the cargo rack rejuvenation I replaced the 2 piece hinged spine with a solid piece of 2" 1/4 wall square tubing. Brought it back to sitting properly and is tighter than it was new. For $70, I've put this thing through the paces and it's satisfied my needs quite well.
