thoughtmakes

yea its been a while. want to make something of it? Perhaps we could make some origami of it. I finally got layed off from my construction job 2 weeks ago. Considering that i was warned last December, somehow i am not shocked. I just signed up for unemployment. That was a first for me. I really enjoy the ease of internet filing. No long lines. No ugly people to make eye contact and talk to. Now just sit back and let the system pay me back for all those years of faithful slavery. Now i can look forward to making home repairs, fixing dinner, pretending to apply for jobs and helping neighbors in exchange for crack money. j/k about fixing dinner.

Speaking of crack money, I finally finished the table I've been building for my tattoo artist. I think it came out freaking cool. I didn't want to give it to him at the end. Its my baby and i didn't want to let it fly away. But on the bright side i've got lots of ink coming to me now. Here is a picture time line of the process because i have nothing else to do right now. Lucky you! You can refer to older posts (all 2 of them) for the beginning pieces. I started by super glueing the basic shapes together


Here is the Leg Anatomy

Here is the Leg Tenon


Here is how they have sex

This is all 4 legs attached and standing

Here is the Table after the edge chamfered and 2nd coat of polyurethane

Here is the copper - peg board glue test

Here is the copper top pre-op prep

Here is the cut out template

Lets do the small ones first

Then the big one

Working outside on the final fit

I had to weigh the copper down while glueing it so i stacked anything heavy on it including jugs filled with water

Then to age the copper and give it a unique feel

Finally i had to make a dust free tent for the final clear coat

Here it is at its rightful home

I think the color came out wild


For my next project i'm considering something a little more difficult
