I'm really enjoying these my story driven pieces like Making Frankenstein's ̶M̶o̶n̶s̶t̶e̶r̶ Lamp, rather than the more 'talk at the camera' videos like This Floating Shelf Turns into a Desk. I also enjoy I made a table with a galaxy inside. My favorite ones include unique idea from old frying pan In case you were wondering this block of text is for SEO so you really don't need to read this. But yeah, got to mention my other stuff like create, four eyes, homemade modern, so my videos end up in the related section. OK BYE

I ended up basing my design on yours turned out great and only took about an hour with spray paint instead of India ink

Awesome! How well can you see the wood grain through the paint? I might have to try that.

@@A.Mere.Creator it’s not too thick that you can’t see the wood grain, cheap black spray paint from the hardware store worked great for a quick job

0:11 Winter is coming? Try -8 Degrees C with -16 Degrees C windchill. Snowfall warning (total amounts 20-30 cm). If I had a porch to step out onto, I'd need a shovel and 30 minutes to find it! :-( A simple, yet elegant project. I love the India ink idea. It really gives the piece a unique look and still allows the grain of the red oak to be seen. Have you ever tried the Craftsman-era finish of ammonia fuming for oak? I'm curious as to how you would do it (and live!) 4:37 Squirrel! Love the music. Satie is a perfect, relaxing soundtrack to this build and Kevin MacLeod captures the feel of Satie with his piece.

[@matthewreitz9054]

This is my favorite method for ebonizing oak! How long do you let the last coat of ink dry for before applying water based poly? I've waited over a day before and I STILL get black residue on my brushes when applying the first coat of poly.

you do great work!!

[@pedrodea.m.g8767]

Amir, if you were going to create furniture, of any kind, but let's say a table, what materials would you use, which wood, etc. if you wanted to create it to last 100+ years? That was as durable as possible. Thank you and love your videos and works!

[@A.Mere.Creator]

I would say a hardwood like white oak. There is a reason the best and longest lasting wooden ships were made of white oak. Take that and apply some solid joinery, like in Japanese carpentry. The Japanese carpenters are nutritious for making whole building last hundreds of years without using a single nail.

[@pedrodea.m.g8767]

@@A.Mere.Creator thank you very much for the answer. I will look into that. Wish you the best

На молотке с гвоздями я выпал в осадок.. ор выше гор

[@catsmeow5566]

I love the music you have playing during this. It's nice and pleasant with no annoying bass. I found a Titebond glue spreader on clearance that works well for spreading glue. Wash it off in warm water and its ready to use again. Also, since I can't seem to get the damn glue to come out of the regular cap (even after cleaning it) I take the cap off and pour a little just on the silicone bristles. Kitty!!! Such a pretty kitty! The squirrel was cute too. Another suggestion on securing the cable is to use the pop thingy from a soda can and screw or nail it in place so it can be removed easily if you need to adjust or remove the cable for any reason. If they are long enough, those metal brackets that go on the back of a computer chassis to cover empty slots can also be used underneath the USB port thing to secure it better.
