My wife wanted a pantry, so here it is. My largest woodwork undertaking, about 5 years ago. All the drawers slide out for convenience.

That’s awesome! Reminds me of some of those toys and joys patterns! On a side note, the amount of smoke from that router bit was worrisome

IKR? I thought the step tailgate and working suspension were nice touches though!

Oh that tailgate is definitely impressive, the working running boards, just the small detail he put into it really set it apart.

Then he takes it out and runs it through the rain puddles!

No? I didn’t watch the whole thing. Please tell me he put some sort of finish on it first?!?!

I'm not sure. It wasn't in the vid if he did.

Since I've acquired a Ford truck over the summer,
I've been working on this on and off, getting the fit in the grill the way I wanted it.
It's being cut from 6061 aluminum, and will be polished and cleared.
I just need the temps to stay above 50 now, so I can spend the time to get it cut.

 

[Emerson Dambiggins]

Looks cool!

 

[Farmerjon]

I would buy a Ford truck just to put that on it!!!!

My son s getting married next month. A couple of months ago, we were talking over the wedding plans with him. He mentioned that they were looking at renting an arbor for the ceremony, but it seemed like too much money for something that wasn't quite what they wanted. My son said he wanted to build one, but he doesn't have the time with all of the overtime he is getting and he would have to come to my house to build it.

I asked if he minded if I helped out. He said he would appreciate it and we talked design. There are a couple of details to finish, then staining: View attachment 216646

At long last, I have some finished pics of the arbor I built for my son's wedding:

Nice arbor and nice pic.
Congrats to the newlyweds!

That picture looks like a painting! Congratulations to all. You put more effort into that arbor than many of my student's parents do in their marriages!
