Curved Overnight Sensations in Rootwood Veneer

[djg]

Hoping you'll take them outside in the sun for beauty shots. They look very dark on my monitor. I trust they look very nice.

Yeah, the shot of the speakers was actually a freeze frame from video. I'm doing more video these days than pics. I'll get some good ones.

I plan to make a video of the build so there will be more footage hopefully of how the veneer looks in light. They did really get dark.

Took a few shots in the sunlight outside today now that they're finished up.




I hope to have a video done in a week or so.

Nice lawn.

Very nice!

Those look sharp Tom!

Beautiful! I know the veneer darkened a lot with the clearcoat, but in the sunlight you can really see how pretty the grain is.

Thanks guys.

I find it hilarious that any of those 'lawn' pictures even came out. I couldn't see a thing on my iPod screen to even know how they would look. My method: take a boatload of pics and hope one or two of them doesn't have my thumb in it and actually looks half-decent.

DJG: my other hobby, cutting the grass.

My friend at work and her husband like them a lot. Thanks Mr. Carmody!

I have the video for these finished and uploaded if anyone is interested.



I didn't cover the grill in this video... That's a tiny bit involved and will get it's own video.
Also, it's 17 minutes long... maybe get a snack ready before you click on it.

Really impressive work on both the speaker assembly and the video, Tom!
Thanks for posting it - you should be proud/pleased with yourself - you earned it.

Thanks a million, Steve!

Although I try hard, it's clear to me that I'm no YouTuber... I may do a video every once in awhile -- like this one was 5 months since the previous one -- but I just don't have what it takes internally to do this consistently any more. It was VERY hard to finish this one.

Thanks again for the kind words... that's encouraging!

It was worth it. Very enjoyable video, Tom. It makes for a great how-guide for people attempting curved cabinets.

[Steve Lee]

Despair not, big guy - I'll take quality over quantity any day . . . getting older sux but you have honed your skills while young and can pass the knowledge along to those following.

I really enjoyed this video. I was wondering how curved cabinets were made.

[PWR RYD]

Awesome video Tom! The adhearing of sandpaper to the cauls is a great tip!

Thank you, I'm glad it was informative, that's what I'm hoping to accomplish!

Thanks sir! I should have actually named my YT channel "Learning From My Failures" but that doesn't roll off the tongue very well.
