[copenhagen69]

[copenhagen69]

I tried ... my garage has terrible lighting so the flash just takes away the true color of it :shadedshu

I will get them in the morning when the natural light is back in action

Pretty sweet project. I sure hope you won't have to move this thing around too much!

LMAO!

no worries once i get it set on the table where i want it ... it will never move ... if i sell this house the new owners will have a pretty tech station

haha thank you

I just dont know though unless you lived close enough we could pick it up because shipping would be outrageous




Also:
Has anyone had experience with red CCFL lights? do they look red or are they pinkish?
Trying to decide whether to get red lights or white lights that would shine through a red transparent sheet behind 'Duke' to make it stand out ...

thoughts or ideas?

Thinner, lighter wood perhaps?

I surmise many people would not mind the price for this caliber of quality and uniqueness.

Besides, nothing costs too much if you want it

When its all said and done may I suggest you poll the forum for opinions on price/demand etc. ?

I just dont know about the thinner lighter wood though I would not want to sell anything i would not use or i do not like and i am not sure how thinner lighter wood would even look or if it would withstand what I would put on it. I would probably have to change the design around to compensate for that so i just dont know

 

[copenhagen69]

did not get to paint any red since lowes just happened to sell out of the color i need ... always happens to me

this is the white ... well looks more creamish which i think will turn out to look really good with the red after all so I am pleased that this has turned out to be the best wrong color mess up in a long long time

 

[copenhagen69]

just got an email for my acrylic standoff's i ordered and they should be here thursday. Hopefully they are the right size lol

/subscribed!

Want to build myself a wooden tech station but I dont have any wood working skills at all, only basic metal ones. Shame really, so far this is shaping up to be a nice build

 

[copenhagen69]

eh ... if you have any basic skills at all you should be fine ... if you know how to draw straight lines and measure stuff you are good to go

it really is easier than most people think

 

[copenhagen69]

too damn cold to paint today

sooooo i have nothing to show off

 

[SnoopKatt]

Looking forward to this...I wish I could pull things off like this. All I know is upholstery

 

[copenhagen69]
