A Scrap-Tastic Cutting Board!

While working in the wood shop I noticed a lot of scrap wood lying around. Thinking that I did not want it to go to waste I thought up a new use for it- A Exotic Wood Cutting Board! http://adventuresincreating.blogspot.com/201...

    not be used for cutting boards, also some woods have been known to have allergens that some may have adverse reactions to. Typically hardwoods like Maple, Walnut, and White Oak are perfectly acceptable choices....softwoods such as pines, fir and Hemlocks would be consider less applicable....

  • We started with this metal flanges, rods, and tips, coated them with primer, and then coated them with a layer of oil-rubbed bronze spray paint. 1
  • Then we mounted the painted brackets to the wall, attached two self-adhesive rubber dots to each bracket, and topped them with glass pieces cut to size. 1

    the tile work looks impeccable !!! 3 questions: The shower appears less then 4 feet wide x ...»
    4.5-5 feet in length with a neo-angle corner, why two shower valves in a space that seems way too small for two users at the same time? Secondly what is happening at the top of the tile which does not meet the ceiling is there a wooden crown molding piece framing the entire ceiling which appears to be painted? Thirdly, there is only one shower niche and why would you want to have that on the exposed wall in full view of the bathroom instead of the toilet wall-side to hide unsightly shampoo bottles, having the niche correspond to the actual tile layout grout lines would have been more attractive don't you think?

  • One of kind Mail Box created from two slabs of local slate, stainless DaVinci box and cedar wood block supports.

Design, Art and Architecture

Mailbox

This was a labor of love repurposing two large slabs of slate nearly 2 inches thick. Both have been cut at compound 10 degree miters (by hand) joined with epoxy where the smaller one passes trough at double miter of 10 degrees through the larger piece. The larger piece is about 7 foot long anchored in the ground with a concrete pour (10 bags) with rebar drilled through the slate for added stability (below grade). We estimate that the entire mailbox weighs in at about 1800 pounds with base...
