Used some 1/2" flat bar brass to cnc some 1.125" discs for leveling feet, which included some hex opening so i could run a bolt through and lock the bolts in place. I used my @shapeoko and @carbide3d and a 1/8" O-flute bit to do the machining, then i sanded up to 3000 grit, brasso, and gloss lacquer the brass parts.
Then I laser cut some little adhesive-backed felts pads using my @crealityofficial Falcon2 Pro 22w laser.
A few days ago I used a router template i made and some creative drill press positioning so I could get the recessed holes and threaded inserts just right.
These custom leveling feet are being used on a skinny behind-the-sofa table I just completed for a repeat customer in Palm Springs. 2 of my Zelo Side Tables live at this home and he wanted this skinny table to go along with it😎
Oh, I also used another pair of custom router templates to flush mount the outlets you see in the table.👌🏻
Fun project for sure! Nice little break from building Zelo Side Tables. I've also got some other builds i'm excited to do, so stay tuned for those!🙌🏻

Anybody that says "sanding is therapeutic" needs ACTUAL therapy😂😂
Hand-sanding some chamfers. And why do woodworkers call them chamfers? Why not bevels?🤷🏻‍♂️
Anyway, I'm hand-sanding whatever you prefer to call them🥴

Possibly the last Zelo Side Tables of 2024! All done and heading to Las Vegas and Chicago! Wooooo it's a nice feeling to be all caught up on orders for these. What a blessing these side table orders have been...especially over the last couple years and double especially this past year!
Now there are other things coming up before I (hopefully) get new Zelo Side Table orders.
Stay tuned!

💥EBAY SCORE💥 Some of you may remember I did

💥EBAY SCORE💥
Some of you may remember I did the tour of the @sammaloofwoodworker residence this past February. SO GOOD. On the tour, i noticed a framed picture which actually turned out to be the cover of a magazine from the Los Angeles Times, called HOME. This particular issue was the September 29, 1968 issue which featured a beautiful photo of Sam Maloof sitting in one his rockers. I had to have it. I searched and searched and it just simply could not be found.
Then one day....a bundle of 20 or so HOME issues popped up on eBay and I saw the Maloof cover so I pounced. Turns out, there were TWO copies in the bundle! They're very fragile but wow, what a great score for my collection.
When I saw @epicwoodworking 's recent video where he walked around talking to Mike Johnson, it reminded me that I needed to share these images with you. I might scan the pages and make a pdf if anybody is interested.
💥PLEASE LIKE & COMMENT💥 if you're interested in downloading this pdf (it'll be free on my website). Enough interest and I'll get it up there soon.

I just realized i haven't posted since my wedding anniversary in September! 🤦🏻‍♂️ Aside from a week out of town, I've just been busy working away at my dream job 💛. Closing in on a trio of Zelo Side Tables. The one I'm working on in this image will find its new home in Huntington Beach this weekend 😎
As soon as these are done, I'm looking forward to trying couple new pieces over the next several weeks👌🏻

20 years ago today I started calling Desiree (@whatsupinthegarden )my wife! ❤️ As you can see from our beautiful wedding photos, we've been through quite a lot over the years!🦅
The 20 years of memories depicted in these heartwarming photographs are as clear in my mind as if they were only created a mere 20 minutes ago. These beautiful memories will not only live in my memories forever, but on the social media servers as well...tracking, logging and analyzing every move we make together.
I can't wait for the digital memories we've yet to create as we continue on this amazing journey!🤣
.
SERIOUSLY THOUGH....The Lord has blessed me TREMENDOUSLY with Dez as my wife and I could not have made it through these past 20 years without her. She continues to amaze me, make me laugh, humor me and support me and I can only hope i'm doing the same for her.
20 years down...20 bazillion to go. Let's get it! I love you Desiree💛

Slotted panels for the Zelo Side Table orders all routed! I love my CNC but it's not the right tool for everything and I don't like to use it just for the sake of using it, especially when I'm trying to make good time and get way ahead of the game with of my Etsy orders. Sometimes a good ol' plunge router and an MDF template are the most practical choice (although i did cut the MDF template on my CNC🤣🤣)

Earlier this year (maybe February-ish?) I bought build plans from @foureyesfurniture and @shaunboydmadethis for the Longview dining chair. I've never built a chair before and wanted to get started. I started fast and got the main parts assembled but then I got busy and distracted with builds and projects of my own and the Longview chair parts have been sitting in the shop collecting dust ever since. The last couple days however, i made a little more progress in between steps of my own furniture orders and got the rest of the parts domino'd and what you see here is the dry-fit in the clamps.
I used some type of mahogany I think, and i think i'm gonna finish this out and use it as a porch chair. I may even experiment (maybe ruin it) and add arm rests and rockers to it. Maybe I'll change the name to the Frankenview Rocker or something 😜
Whatever I do with this chair, it is definitely a fun build, and definitely comfortable, and definitely makes me want to build more chairs. Fist bumps to 🤜🏻Chris and Shaun🤛🏻 for a great set of plans!

Getting some final detail sanding on a Zelo Side T

Getting some final detail sanding on a Zelo Side Table (with glass) for a repeat customer. I delivered one of these a few months ago to his home in Palm Springs and he loved it so much he recently ordered a second one💛
I'm so grateful for my customers and for every order that comes in. The Zelo Side Table orders have definitely been keeping me busy for the last couple years.
After this one I've still got 4 more to build! I never would've thought I'd make so many of these. What a blessing!
💥Thank you Lord for the gifts you've given me and for the skills that I continue to hone. I want to glorify God with the work I do🙌🏻

I guess @lincolnelectric welding gear is out and @ridgidpowertools welding gear is in? When did Ridgid start making welding stuff?🔸🤷🏻‍♂️🔸

I mean, I don't even use Lincoln welding stuff (i use @forneyind ) but it was weird to walk down the aisle at@homedepot today and see the change. I guess Ridgid put in the bigger bid? haha! Whatever. who knows. who cares. 🤣🤣
