hmmm...not a bad idea...seems rediculous to me tho that people would buy a block of wood with some holes in it when you could just do it yourself!...haha.

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

[skizif]

Nice work!! I made one kind of like that but my clumsy ... kept knocking it over so I finaly got mad and made one with a wider base My poor buzz hits the floor at least once a day but keeps on ticking. I also think you could make some and sale them here on the ECF forum.

i have every thing,including some really awesome looking birch wood..just no time right now


question ?? what would you people be willing to pay for that simple looking piece of wood ???

 

[orkira]

Very nice! I like it!

That would really depend on the kind of wood and the finish. $10-$15 for some thing simple... A whole lot more if your talking simple and it is something like Zebra wood with a nice hand rubbed wax finish.

Amazingly... Simple can be hard.

I've been thinking about making something similar, but I want to have my charger sunk down flush with the wood, and a hole drilled out the side to plug my charger into it. Getting it to fit right without cracking is becoming a pain. You probably have better tools at work you should try it. Yours looks really good as it is, but I'm gona keep trying to get my charger to flush fit in it. If it ever works out I'll post some pics. What wood did you use?

 

[minigoat]

Very nice!

You may not know this but regarding finish, what holds up better to PG/VG than others? Wax vs polyurethane for example?

Man, I gotta get a job like yours where I can make things like that while on the clock.

At my job, they actually expect me to do company related work or they fire you.

 

[Kenzi]

Very Nice !!!

 

[silence71]

Nice set up,now I just need one lol.

 

[skizif]

What wood did you use?

not quite sure to be honest...its actually a scrap piece from an old piano that we gutted for parts.

The boss was out yesterday so i took advantage of the workshop. For the last 5 years ive been working as a piano technician, and as much as i enjoy making stuff in the workshop ive moved on recently and im only working there on occasion for some extra $$$.
