[QUOTE=Xombi;37606726]the most elaborate beer bong in human history.[/QUOTE] firing beer at 4 bar straight into your mouth, sounds like a good idea.

Restored an old arc welder with my dad, welded a few pipes together with it. sorry for the big pic. Handle on the top was supposed to be blasted but we didn't get around to it. [IMG]http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/221211_4606136400303_654650357_o.jpg[/IMG]

I'm a woodworker, gave finger/box joints a go a few days ago for a headphone case I'm making myself. Making the jig for the table saw was a pain in the ass, and I need to level out the joints. For a first attempt though, I'm happy. [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3655261/Box%20Joints/1.jpg[/img] [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3655261/Box%20Joints/2.jpg[/img]

Looks like mahogany to me

It's walnut, my personal favorite native wood. Just wait until I've got pictures of it finished with the tung oil finish. It's astoundingly beautiful.'' I made my mum a cutting board out a piece of it a few years ago, I'll see if I can grab a picture to show how it looks when finished usually. (cutting board was finished with mineral oil though, but I handpicked the slab of wood to be used and cut it from the log)

I can't even imagine how hard working with Mahogany would be. I never knew wallnut was such a nice colour either :O Nice work though, Would be good if you can create some really nice things with that wood.

mahogany is pretty easy to work with. If you want a difficult to work with wood, try hickory, northern ash, rock maple, etc.

[img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/59112523/upload/2012-09-18%2015.34.21-2.jpg[/img] Made some shelves to go above my monitors where I can put stuff that usually just clutters my desk, like my gamepad, drawing tablet, cellphone, wallet, home keys, calculators, dice set and so on. It's made entirely using ikea laiva shelves that where about 19 SEK (€2, $3) each at the time and the consoles where 5 SEK (€0.6, $0.8) ish. Total cost not including screws (or labor) was about €15 or $20.

Did you buy the mouse and keyboard as a pair?

It's fairly nice to work with. It's not super hard, but it's not soft either. It sands really nicely as well. Walnut is really nice to work with. It's hard to get large pieces where I'm at though. We built two pillars out of laminated mahogany and then put dark walnut burl veneer over the top of 8 seperate laminates and then placed them together. The columns were hollow and were not load-bearing. Just decorative. Sadly, the developer never paid us for them, or the cabinets we did in the kitchen. They never sold the houses (supposed to run for 2mil a piece) and we got screwed out of any kind of profit, but at least the materials were paid for. I have pictures of the inside of those houses somewhere...
