Doug, this is a stunning piece of art and craftsmanship! The world is a better place for you sharing it.

Thanks, Brandon! After a long 510 day wait, the Glowforge arrived in early March of this year. I've not had it long, but I'm already liking it. I am constantly finding projects I can incorporate the laser into.

Thanks so much! Yeah, Cootie is one that I played as a kid too, and my kids have been liking it. Another one is Sorry...love that game. (You have a good eye to spot that!) Thanks for checking out the project!

For sure...reading the labels would be a definite benefit. I appreciate your thoughtful comments!

Really cool project, Drew!

You're welcome! I talked him into making an Instructable. ha ha. It is a really cool project!

That thing is so cool looking! Thanks for sharing this experiment...makes me want to try something like it.

Thank you! Appreciate you checking out the project!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I really like how the splines turned out too...and it is a good thing...I had some struggles with them. ha! I would put this one in the woodworking contest, but I think they changed it to where you can only have one project in any one contest, and I already have one in there: Modern Plywood Rack - https://www.instructables.com/id/Modern-Plywood-Wine-Rack/

Well, I just went back and tried it, it seemed to let me add it to the Woodworking Contest. Go vote away...and thank you!

Cool project! Do you think acoustically transparent cloth makes a real difference? That site is cool that you linked for the cloth...has a TON of options.

I love how you can use both a taper candle and a tealight. Very cool project!

Great looking chairs! The subtle/simple lines of the legs go with the very curvy seat. And the brass pins are such a nice little hint.

Really cool project! I like how you can then customize it with the places you've been.

Thanks, Caleb! I thought you might like seeing this shirt. ha. Thanks for stopping by to check it out and for the kind words.

Thanks for the compliments! Some good information there. I'll challenge you a bit...well, not even really challenge...just present some different points. From my understanding, it is fine to store the wine neck up or neck slightly down, so long as the cork is covered. (you mentioned that) So many people just stand it up on a shelf, and the corks can dry out so fast. Also, I drink a lot of wine, and I never see any sediment. I don't know if that's just the wines I buy, or this region (not sure where you are located?), but I've never really seen any sediment. However, even if sediment was a problem, and it was a nice enough wine to hold onto for a while, I would probably be arieating it or decanting it, which would allow it to settle again. It doesn't stay around long enough for that! ha ha

Cool project, Aaron! Thanks for sharing the steps!

Great project on these knives! They're simply gorgeous!

I first saw this over on your YouTube channel. Nice job! The instructable is very well thought out!

This was such a cool project, Brandon! Enjoyed walking through it with you.

I've never had it happen, but I have heard of it happening before. ha. I was wondering if it still held true in this case, where it is not a super tight friction fit, but rather using epoxy to hold in the rod?

I see. I've heard your name on the Creator's Collective podcast...you get a lot of your questions read on there. Cool to see you here!

I don't know that I've been mentioned on Making it podcast, but I was in one of Jimmy Diresta's vlogs a few weeks back. We were at Workbench Conference and I was at dinner with he and some others. That was fun. Yeah, you have a ton of instructables!

Thanks for following along! That sounds like it looked good with the white wood panels. Is it too heavy for the door?

I think they do add something to the look of the piece, but I believe they help hold the fibers of that area so that when you insert the rod in, it doesn't blow out. This would not really be the case for mine, since the rod was slightly undersized and I used epoxy. I believe with older tools, you would just try for a friction fit, so you would make whatever you're inserting a little bigger than the hole/slot, so that it would wedge in there really well. In that case, the ferrule would really hole the wood from blowing out or tearing.

Ah, good deal! Glad you found it useful. Which one are you looking to pick up?

Yeah, I was really surprised at the low cost of the rubber stamp. I use mine with multiple colors also! I use black for some things, but also picked up an ink pad to use my logo color (kind of an aqua green/blue). It works well on so many mediums.

Thanks so much! I appreciate you checking it out!

I really like how rustic and simplistic this is. Plus, it is just a great part of a decor for a room. Nice job! The photos are beautiful and I enjoyed the video!

I'm sure you did!

Thank you! I do still need to make a strap so they can't be pulled too far apart. I just didn't get a chance before publishing this. And you're right about the tacks, rather than glue. I'm just not that skilled yet, and I figured using the glue would help hold it so I could focus more on the tacks.

Thank you for the kind words!There is no valve on the pipe. I'm sure there is some bit of air that draws in there, although, I've not really noticed much. This thing is not perfectly air tight...maybe some are, but I would doubt it. It is more just a matter of the larger hole is where most of the air will intake, simply because it is so much larger. Some air does go out of the larger hole too, but not enough to stop the effectiveness of the bellows. Thanks for checking out the project!

Nice job, Marie! I really like the iron pipe...that industrial look is a nice touch!

Those are gorgeous! I love the curved handles...I never even thought of that. Nice touch using the laser to add some detail. (at least it looks like a laser). Where are you drilling the hole? If you're looking for some upholstery tacks, I linked to some in my instructable and in my video. I think I ended up going with the shorter ones of the options in the antique brass. I like the look of them a lot. They are maybe 5/8" long.Also, thank you for taking the time to let me know about my YouTube channel. I really appreciate that! I've been struggling recently with motivation about continuing that...it is a tough thing to grow, and I'm not seeing quite as much growth as I would have liked. But it is comments like yours that really help...knowing that I am inspiring or helping someone l...

Oh cool! What wood are you using?

Thank you very much!

Thanks so much! I appreciate the comments.

Oh, I bet the brass looked great! I've looked at Tandy leather, but they're a good bit more expensive than the sides I've bought from Acadia Leather. The side I used for this leather was about 22 sqft and I got it for $35 shipped. And it was 5.5 oz leather. Tag me with a photo of your bellows on Instagram @Brudaddy. I'd love to see it!

Awesome job on this! I had no idea it was so easy...thanks to you, I know that now!

Yeah, that sounds about right. I've not tested this with a thermometer, but it definitely feels a bit cooler on the hot days.
