Been a while since I posted - TOO BUSY with life! But got a Nespresso for my B-Day and wanted a “box” to hold sleeves of pods. This holds 8 sleeves total which is perfect!
Made out of Walnut, Maple and Cherry (what I had on hand). The bottom looks like a spine - I wasn’t going for that I was just looking for a way to join 3 pieces together tightly. But it turned out pretty cool, so there ya go.
BTW - DON’T use that triple thick poly spray seen in the background. I’ve had great success with the normal spray stuff in the past and thought it’d be great to skip a step by not having to do multiple coats with the thicker stuff as advertised. WRONG.
Spray = awesome. Use light coats, let dry and buff with 0000 steel wool. Wipe with a tack cloth and spray again. Rinse repeat until you get the look you’re going for. Can’t bypass this with triple thick stuff!
Thanks for the replies all. I’ve had several people who’ve seen it tell me I should make and sell these. But I just can’t make my hobby into a business as much as I’d like to make money.
That’s always been a challenge for me - I get to make cool stuff and then everyone wants me to sell it.
I guess I COULD use a new table saw and this COULD fund that…hmmm…
Yup. I bought a new router, scroll saw, and a mini-lathe with my “hobby” sales from the last two months. I enjoyed making the products, so it didn’t take away from the hobby aspect. YMMV, of course.
