Summer is here the first /diy/ summer, there is a lot of "how i do stuff with junk threads" and "I dont know shit how i /diy/?"

So lets give it a Twist la/diy/es. Post something you did on the last month, or the pictures of something you are ACTUALLY working on it. It doesnt matter how shitty, stupid or useless it is.

Pic related, i made the table in an hour with "Recycled" Materials, is not finished, i havent powered the outlets.

It's a nice and stout cedar bow. I might consider taking a small (whitetail) deer with it from really close, but it's mostly for small game. I've hit targets at 70 yards with it.

About 35# in my draw.

i like the industrial look, but i may take your suggestion, what kind of paint for OSB? im not really into woodworking, i have 0 knowledge.

>> No.231841

>>231831
mm, i really have a very basic vocaulary, so i'll do my best.
I'd go with sand paper first, sepcially in the main surface, then, just any paint, it's for covering ugly wood. 2 layers, it''l be very helpfull 'cuase that wood releases a lot of needles during time, so paint will save you from that.

If you look industrial look, well, then may be you could put some "vitrificado"... i don't want to seach teh name, but is like a "barniz" but that in 3 layers makes your wood look like cristal covered... but won't be very tuned with the theme of the table.

Shelf that I'm building, still needs sanding and stain. Made from pine, and stands 4'9" tall. I'll probably put a tutorial on instructables.

I very recently made this lighting fixture using the sockets and wires from a chandelier type thing from a thrift store, wood torn off of my old house, and IBC root beer bottles. The bottles are epoxied to wood circle things, which have magnets on them that hold them to the fixture. In the future I'm going to make more attachments with different colored bottles.

I wouldn't expect so. The grain is congruent, so it came from a large tree, which is atypical for fruit trees.
