Lol...had to chuckle at the "plenty of time to obsess"....Hello Me Too...that would be SO me
. LOVE his stuff!!! His use of chunky wood, the stains, the clean/plain square lines of his pieces. Adore it! Particularly like this stain, whatever it is called:

The pipe bookshelves is something I've had pinned for awhile. Finally starting to think about my work room, so I think I will put some of those in. Ann, you made the dog bed with the pipes. Did you use a circular saw or what to cut the pipes down? We don't have one so I don't want to spend the money on an expensive saw. But maybe we will get some more use out of it in the future? |
YES, that drafting table!! KNEW you'd see that and love it. It's so cool and the hardware is just awesome.
I love the pipe fitting shelves, I want them so badly too...but just can't see to get to taking it on yet (nor do I know where I'd do it). For the dog bed, we luckily found pieces that were ready-made for the right size, so we didn't have to cut them. I *think*, though, that many hardware stores will cut them to the right size for you...? So if you could draw up your plans and cuts ahead of time, you may be able to have them pre-cut.. I asked my husband about using a circular saw or rip saw, and he said you'd need a special blade for cutting through this kind of pipe, and he too said the hardware store will often be able to cut it. I have some tutorials pinned too, so I'll look at them again and see if they say anything about the cuts.
Where do you think you'll do it, the kitchen? That's where I'd really love it...though I'd love it anywhere!
