/diy/ - Do It Yourself

It is a rectangle, assembled with four pieces of wood

>>756480
If wooden, won't it burn?
Recomending hard wood, few firelogs and a ceramic basin as recipient for logs. Also, keep in mind that people must not be burnt.

>>756495
I think they just want to store fire logs in the middle of it.
>>756486
Exactly, do you really need plans for this?

>>756480
Use 4 planks and some fancy joint.
Either use thick planks, or add some struts.

>>756495
Firelogs are logs ready to be thrown into fire, i.e. chopped to right size, not burning logs ;-)

>>756486
I agree with this anon. That is a rectangle.

>>756480
go on Craigslist for a rectangle salesman, see if he has that wood kind you are talking about. Then glue together as many as you can fit in the back of your civic. Now, you are going to want to use glue, the wood kind to put it together. You might want to clamp it or you can use those logs of the wood kind on the skinny edges, a lil weight never hurt.

Oh i just got a grate idea...if you can't find a rectangle man on CL go to an art store or even a framing shop, they can make you a rectangle like you won't believe, and then if the frame is .5" or 1.27cm then just stack 2 together hammer a decent nail in them stack another nail stack another decent nail, and so forth till you have a 3D Rectangle.

Cube coffee table on Google...

>>756564
How did they bend the board at those angles, steam from kettle? Or do I need something better?

This tinkles my autism

>>756579

Those boards wern't bent...they were cut on a tablesaw...

>>756579
Are you some kind of cityboy to the extreme? But anyway, they didn't bend it. They likely just cut up 4 pieces and then assembled them in this shape. These kind of furnitures are often not complete hardwood though, and just look like it. In reality it could be a thin sheet of plywood with cardboard inside, or just a thick sheet of plywood that is laminated.

>>756587
4 different pieces? or 4 from the same board? Like if I have a long rectangle board and fold it over 4 times? How do you suppose I cut it? I have a set of chisels from my gram-pa.

>>756619
I'm going to operate under the assumption that you're just horribly misinformed and not actually trolling.

You would use a saw to cut the wood, or particle board, or whatever material you would use. I drew this real shitty pic to demonstrate how to make a "table" from a 4'x8' sheet of whatever-the-fuck-you-want. you could cut it into 4 pieces and staple/screw/nail and glue it together to make something like
>>756564

there is no bending

>>756625
Ok i got that now, and I looked up for a saw. But what are the 41 61 21 81 things are those inches?

>>756626
Fuck this thread I'm out.

>>756626
one superscript dash is shorthand for feet, two is for inches, this is the standard notation for the customary units of measurement in the united states. for example:

8' = 8 feet
5" = 5 inches
3'9" = 3 feet and 9 inches

the largest dimension sheet good you can buy (plywood, mdf, lauan, cork board, etc.) is typically 4'x8' such as in the picture

>>756631
ok off to the store, and probably a book.

>>756632
good luck, update the thread with your project progress if you have any questions or anything

>>756581
Feel better?

Aaaaand thatexplainsalotofstuffnow.

>>756587
They seem to have cleverly used the same veneer over the corners, making it look like a single piece of wood.

>>756587
Except this example does have the natural bark edge... it is in fact solid wood.

>>756524

>>756676
The process is called bookmatching. Not necessarily veneer but it likely is.

>>756690
No it isn't. Look at the raw edge of the log...

>>756732

most likely isn't but it could be.

>>756757
Your link doesn't show natural edged veneer with some bark... doesn't matter because this is what Jack makes that table out of... .

>>756638
Still not a cube.

>>756564
Easy. Four pieces with 45 degree mitred corners all cut from the same tree slab, and then joined.

Yup. It's a rectangle.

You're killing me Smalls.

op if you're using a woodstove a regular firewood box will better suit the purposes and not get as much bark everywhere
or a simple wood rack if you're using cleaned up wood.

>>756757
the edge that doesn't match perfectly is the one not shown, just clever construction.

buttom/top less box
or tunnel shape

>>757618
It may just be fore decor...

rectangles are out of your league. try making triangles first.

>>758177
I guess so

if op couldn't figure out how to make a square out of wood, they probably didn't consider how much of a mess having fire logs is between the insects laying eggs under the wood and bits of the bark itself falling or, or just cobwebs from house spiders finding it

would be alright for a shoe bench in the mud room or something but I wouldn't do a coffee table

>>758205
I have an inkling where his boyfriend got the idea...

>>758205
>they probably didn't consider how much of a mess having fire logs is between the insects laying eggs under the wood and bits of the bark itself falling

They actually sell super premium firewood that is just "fancy" woods like cypress or hickory that has been either lightly sandblasted or hit with a spinning wire brush. It's like 10x the price of normal firewood but I can't fault the people selling it for selling it.

>>758277
for some reason the concept makes me angry but at the same time I sort of want to be the guy selling those logs

Did Ferguson take Geoff Peterson with him to that game show?
