That looks awesome! Great job!!

Thank you so much! We have two sisters and they're definitely the most popular members of the family.

Thanks!

Thanks so much! It was great fun to put together (and you should totally check out a range sometime. They're a blast!)

Very cool! Much appreciated from this Alienware/Headphone/RGB fanboy.

Thanks! I'm guessing the slipped screwdriver holes don't count.

Thanks & will do!

You're in the right place to build one! :D

Thanks! I'm honored to have your approval. You'll have to let me know where you choose to take it.

Nicely done! My grandparents were German immigrants and we had them all over for Christmas. Have you tried making them with ribbon? The patterns/shine look really sharp.

Thanks! That sounds like a great idea. I'll look forward to seeing your results. :)

It was ~ five inches in diameter once I knocked down the high edges on the lathe.

Nicely done! That and a pillow and I've got the next cat bed!

I don't see why not but I'm far from an expert in CNC operations. You could probably get most of the way there, except for the three crossovers. I'm not sure if you could flip it and run a second pattern on the back but that'd be the other stumbling block. You'll have to try it out and let me know how it goes. :)

We bought ours locally but there's a similar version on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KW2VCBC/... a 'Dori Pouf'... there's my new term for the day. Let me know if you find instructions on making your own; I know they've been a popular subject.

+1... Any chance on going back to 2/wk?

Thanks for the vote/contest as well as the vote of confidence!I appreciate the feedback; I'll see about splitting up the step to make it a little more clear. I realized too late that it was getting rather long and couldn't decide how to fix it.The CM is a cool gadget but I don't think the quality is there. I originally wanted to make a setup to cut my own 7mm blanks but it quickly morphed into recreating the whole thing.

Thanks!

Nicely done! I built a similar ible a few years back but didnt think about securing the table to the end of the bed.

Thanks!

You should go for it! For all the projects I've done, this is a little complicated to get the angles right but its far from being the most difficult thing I've tried.Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks! I appreciate the vote.

Well said. I've found it questionable when the prizes for CNC contests are CNC machines, wood contests yield drills and miter saws, etc... To have a shot at winning, you'll need all of those to start with. I think it'd be fun to have limited edition/fancy hand tools as prizes or things you wouldn't necessarily have on hand.

I've used both tempered and non-tempered 1/4" for mine; the local shop I use had to special order the tempered and pushed me towards regular plate glass instead when I was working to a deadline. Their issue wasn't so much a difference in strength but if broken, the plate would split clean while the tempered would shatter into bits. I could see the problem with the edges chipping but if your cutting service rounds over the edges or if you wrap it in a frame, that should alleviate the risk.

Nicely done! Perfect excuse for a new desk!Are you sure you needed the full 1/2" glass for the top? I've built a number of tables/desks with 1/4" tops about that size and have yet to break any of them.

Much appreciated!

Nicely done! I think this was the setup for the Rush Hour board game too; I had a lot of fun with it over the years.

x2... I had a project ready for Budget Builds that really doesn't fit Trash to Treasure.

Thank you for the kind words! If not at the present, then I hope it can be inspiring for your own projects in the future. Trust me, if I ever look like I know what I'm doing, it's only because I've made every mistake along the way.
