Tenderfoot's Handcrafted Wood stands

[TENDERFOOT91]

So! First stand arrived today and expectations were high. TF, you knocked it outta the park! This thing is FANTASTIC. Wife LOVES it. It looks great and holds her things perfectly. And she has room for more.

Few quick points:

1) It was packed up to survive a nuclear blast. A good thing, given how items can get banged up in shipping.

2) Lil sucker has some weight to it! And it just feels so solid.

3) If anyone ever says the prices are too high, tell them to go jump in a lake. Maybe they would be happier with a 20 dollar one made of plastic/particle board/plywood that will fall apart in a month and does not have nearly the same amount of functionality.


Here are a couple of pics. Forgive the quality, I am not a photographer and this was taken quickly on an iPhone

Thats pretty close to what I ordered. Sure does look good.

 

[Bkjeeper]

Yep it is you,
I just sent you a e mail with a picture, you sir have the patience of a saint .

Thanks TF. You are the man!! You can't rush perfection. I can't wait to get it all set up.

 

[TENDERFOOT91]

Its further now than the pic I e mailed you. It needs some sanding love, then I be able to stain both of them

You don't realize from the pics, just how heavy and solid they are, right? It's always somewhat of a surprise, even though you've basically designed it yourself.

BTW, I really like yours, very clean lines

 

[Bkjeeper]

Looks great TF. I am in the process of clearing a spot off for it in my living room. I got to put this work of art on display.

 

[Larzis]

Yeah MissEmma, they are built solid! And thanks, my gal loves it as well. And everything fits in there perfectly.

No rush on mine TF, when it's done it's done. I have spot cleared out on my "side table of cool stuff" in my office all ready for it.

 

[MissEmma]

And the single!! You'll be amazed at how much use that gets.

 

[Larzis]

And the single!! You'll be amazed at how much use that gets.

You are so right about that! It is already in use in the living room.

This all really made her day. A petal broke off on her new fancy glass tip and she was all bummed out.... until she opened the package from TF. Then it was nothing but grins

 

[TENDERFOOT91]

Well you guys really made me Happy, I am so glad she likes it.
I have to break out the

EDIT: sorry to hear about her tip though

 

[stumpfreeman]

Happy to see all of your progress Don! Hopefully there is some oak in the near future. It all looks great, I know why your are always swamped, LOL. Have a great weekend!!

 

[TENDERFOOT91]

Their is my friend
Yours just has a few extra steps, but we will get their I'm going to try and get the pieces into plainer and squared pieces this weekend .
I need to go to the wood store tomorrow or Sunday I hate doing that, always cost more than I like. But I need sandpaper, sanding belt , bits again, and of course wood. I think I got my tool purchases done for a while, well maybe a new routing table. Dang it now I want a new routing table LOL. I need one anyway, the router on my table now the bearings are getting loud its just a matter of time.
Well everything is sanded and ready for stain but the can is a little low. I like to use from the same can to do the whole stand. It can be just different enough to make a difference if two cans are used on the same piece.

Where do you stand with the brand now?

 

[TENDERFOOT91]

Holding off I might just try to buy some sort of plate to mark them . Sticker shock and the salesman got kinda pushy one day what I wanted would do it fine then he kept trying to up grade it and basically said if I only spent the $250 I woul later have to spend another 100 to get good results. Made me kinda mad I couldn't trust him I guess so o well. thanks for all your help though. Can your fiend do a plate of some sort. Heck I might just pickup a smiley face LOL
TF

 

[KrasH]

I have some ideas. Let me see what I can get done for you.

 

[jazon1]

maybe try a small wood burner and make one of the tips into your emblem, or make a small spray template and use a darker stain or spray?

 

[TENDERFOOT91]

That's a good idea also, the spray . That's thinking outside the box,
Impressed my friend it wouldn't have ever crossed my mind . But good idea I might try something while KrasH sees what he could do.

[TENDERFOOT91]

Well I'm heading to the wood store
Hope I can beat the crowd , I like to dig through the racks . I'm nice about it I don't leave a mess.
TF

 

[TENDERFOOT91]

Time to get some wood.

Don, No smiley face.
If you do something like that you need to do a dancing banana shape
We all know you love them, and I don't know about everyone else but everytime I see one, I smile and think of you
