Just thought I'd bring everybody up to speed with the new a·vant-garde style of woodworking, which I'm sure will be replacing the use of pallet wood.
While browsing web sites dedicated to antiques & furniture for inspiration, I came across this new style of furniture that I'm sure all will be able to make, beginners & seasoned woodworkers alike. For more on this new craze, see the websites below. So sell off your precision hand tools & invest in good construction grade equipment.
I wouldn't even have that nasty looking mess in my shop for shop furniture. That mess is a pathetic excuse for furniture. If I took something home like that to my wife she would toss me back out the door on my head. No way would I show that mess to any of our clients either nor would I build a piece of it for anyone
haha good one jwmalone. Thanks for the humor today. .
That dude will probably get raved reviews for it in NYC. Here in these mountains he would get asked why did you mess up all that good construction grade stuff, have you lost your mind?
Saw those and immediately thought, "A new use for scrap construction materials!" I actually thought someone was dumpster diving construction dumpsters for furniture project fodder.
My dog house looks better then that crap, and I bet they put a nice price tag on it to boot!!!!
That is why it is called under layment to get covered with a final FINISHED product.
You know, ive used plenty of that stuff over the years. I'm sure they smoothed it out with something but can you imagine getting frisky with you're girl on that stuff, lol
Hideous. But, the hipsters will probably eat it up….
Back when I was in Desert Storm, we had a guy in my squadron that packed some carpentry tools along, and he made furniture out of this stuff and broken down pallets. In a practical-sense, it worked great.
01ntrain,
First and foremost, thank you for your service, much appreciated.
That guy was ahead of his time, should have saved his work for the USA where some rich smuck would pay top dollar for it.
Live and learn.
Looks like something you'd see in a Willamette Valley Pot dispensary. That's a new term for those old, Head Shops, back in the 60's and 70's. I got to tell you that looks like real cheap S#$t.
Cheap. ill beat ya its any thing but cheap, dollar wise anyway. I know what you mean BurlyBob. I'm still laughing at this stuff. And speaking of pot, I have never smoked it but if I ever do I will not buy what that guy is smoking. Ill go to Willie Nelsons dealer at least that stuff inspires worth while contributions to prosperity.
On the other hand, I wonder if OSB veneer is available. This would be great for those of us that want to be a part of this movement that, according to the web site, is "Challenging everyday transient objects", but still enjoy working with real wood.
