  1. I'll start this off with an ad from the 1905 Larkin Co. Premium List Catalog which can be browsed here. https://archive.org/details/1905-larkin-co-premium-list-bflo-ny/mode/2up The ad that shows the desk is on page 36. Yesterday I fought with getting the cabinet top back together after drilling out the four broken off original 7/16" diameter dowels from the hinge section and other two pieces of the top which had come apart at the center glue line. Someone in the past had drilled different dowel holes that didn't quite line the hinge board up with the rest of the top properly. The two sections that had come apart were cupped in opposite directions making things a bit more fun. Here's a few views of the top in clamps which I'll be leaving clamped for a couple of more days. You'll all have to bear with me, I'm still getting used to posting from this W11 Komputator which will occupy a custom built case that will resemble an old Victrola style phonograph. W10 was much easier to post photos from. The first view shows my board straightening method using two 2 x 2 oak boards. The second shows the repair I used for the torn-out screw holes. I simply drilled and glued cross grain plugs into the holes I drilled halfway into the top. I also had to repair two holes from that someone's attempt at repairs where they ran two longer screws through the top. I'll have to show those when I take the clamps off. Due to the cupping in the two sections I also added a 1/2" x 1 1/2" oak cleat to help keep things aligned. I've also been working on replacing the broken leg set for the drop leaf section using a pair of "Salvage" Oak balusters. Not an exact match, but close enough for me. I've so far got them stripped and cut to length. I'll be using slides instead of wheels. More later.

  3. Dear folks, my son and I just finished building a solid cherry with walnut accents desk, we would like to finish the desk in a satin clear, but we also love the warmth and patina that develops with oil based finishes. We are not staining our project, we are applying the finish with brush, or wipe on. I am going to dive into the General Finishes line of products, I'd like to know if anyone here has any recommendations for our project?

    Desk

    From the album: Desk

  5. My son approached me last month and asked if we could build a desk for his bedroom for this upcoming school year, he is planning on a ton of homework and being in 10th grade and all, the work is going to get harder and harder. He asked me to help him build the desk just before I went into the hospital back in early June, I was in bad shape for the first few weeks coming out of the hospital and meanwhile he was asking me when we can start the desk, bless his little soul and heart, as crappy as I was feeling, he felt that ol Dad could get up and go and power through it all with a desk build. I had to put it off, with the way I was feeling, it wasn't even safe for me to be out there in the shop, and the fact that he asked me during that time period, and asked a few more times, indicates I was putting on a pretty positive attitude show for the family, despite how I was feeling. So, now that I am feeling pretty ok, much better than before, me and the boy went to the lumber yard and picked up a few cherry boards. The desk will be cherry, with walnut legs, he wanted two tone. Actually he wanted a Walnut desk, but once we got to the yard, the walnut was just too expensive, so he came around to cherry. We have a budget and we needed to stay within. And it so happens that I had some left over walnut so we'll incorporate the walnut into the mainly cherry desk somehow, thinking possibly the legs will be walnut. I had my boy rip down the boards on the Shopsmith, he did pretty good, burned the cherry on one edge and I then I took the second board and showed him how to use moderate steady feed rate and also keeping it against the fence. Once we had the boards sized, we chose one edge to join, the boards will be cut in half, and folded against each-other and glued edge to edge. I showed my son Jeroid how to handle the big No. 8C, he knows how mostly as he worked with me often years ago, but many years have gone by since he's been by my side in the shop, so picking up the plane again took some practice, fortunately we left the board wide by an 1/8" because I knew Jeroid was going to need practice room to get the edge right. Jeroid took a few passes on the edge and did pretty good, he had a few issues keeping the plane in constant contact with the edge, but he figured it out, I just stood back and let him error, and figure it out. He did. He really got the hang of it, and started to enjoy the process. By the last couple passes he had some shavings singing from the plane, I could tell he felt really good about what he was doing. The edge did get a little off, so I showed him how to get back to 90 with a little lateral adjustment of the plane iron, and he brought it back to square in about 4 or 5 passes. After he joined the boards, we cut them down and glued them up, that is where we are at right now, we have two desk ends, next we'll get the inner dividers joined and glued up. Thanks for reading along, seeya all next time!
  6. I’m not sure if I ever posted this or not. If I did then just know my memory is going as I get older and over look me! We did this complete office out of Hickory Slabs. The desk has a live live edge on one side and is two slabs glued together. The ends were made of thick pieces of Hickory and we put metal conduit in the middle and painted them black. The shelves were all slabs with live edge. Used the conduit as supports painted black. They painted the wall behind the shelves black. The black wall really let the light Hickory slabs stand out. The desk was finished with self leveling Epoxy. I really love the rug they chose to bring it all together. A really nice custom office.
  7. I had mentioned in another post I was building a desk. This isn't anything really challenging but I want to prove I'm doing something. I need 2 of these, one for a basement area I use and another for our main floor "office". I was planning on doing both in an A&C style, but I now think the second one will be more contemporary. The reason why is that both are computer desks, and I want/need a drop down drawer front for a keyboard tray. The A&C style with inset drawers just doesn't lend itself to that convention. In the pics below you can see the drawer opening...since I don't have a way to hinge the front down (with hidden hinges, and it stay level when opened) I'm thinking it will just be removable, held in place with spring clips. Then the keyboard tray will just pull out. Anyway, I mentioned a week or so ago I had these wide oak boards I would be using. They were supposed to be white oak, turns out all but the one on the left is red oak. I don't like red oak, and never use it...much preferring the white species. But I have what I have, so I went and bought some more red oak to complete the desk, and you can see the dry fitted frame. Nothing remarkable here, but I did do every joint with loose tenons and that worked out OK.
  8. One good yard sale this morning...dodging rain squalls all day long... 12" level... small marking gauge for a dollar.....then went to a friend of mines, for a stash of Ash, again 20 pieces...and a 7/4 x 6 x 3' slab for a new saw handle....$20... Will try to get the Single Brain Cell Sketch Up back on-line...and see about a new desk to set this computer on... Average length on these boards...6'.....some longer, some shorter....4/4 x 6 with one at 8-10" wide... Stay tuned...
  9. My son asked me to build him a computer desk. He gave me latitude for the design except for the length, depth, and height. I know that he would be adding a computer monitor bar and he wanted power and USB grommets installed in the top. Material: Top: 13/16 hard maple. Base: 1 x 2 cherry. Drawer: 5/8 hard maple Base construction: Front legs are cherry bent lamination with 14 degree cant. Drawer has box joint construction. Finish: Base has one coat BLO, one coat 1 ½ # shellac, one coat gel stain, and another coat 1 ½# shellac. Overall, everything has two coats pre-cat lacquer. I wanted the desk to be and to appear to be light weight. I know there will be a structural issue if someone sits on the desk top. I want the desk top to have a floating surface appearance, the base to have curves & angles; and the drawer to have a clean look. The inner form radius for the bent lamination was 7 7/8. The base joinery is M&T. Each joint was doweled with two ¼ dowels. Thanks for looking. Danl

  15. The story behind this little "What is it", is that I had this 1/2 log piece that came with the lumber stash,pic1. I didn't know what kind of wood it was so I cut a about 6" off the end to clean up and see what I had. It turned out to be Maple. I didn't want to just throw away the piece so thought I would make a band saw box out of it. So I cut the bottom off, cut out the center, glued up the sides and reattached the bottom. The cut on the bottom looked ugly so I made a molding and then made some feet for it and called it a desktop pencil holder. The finish is 2 coats of spray shellac, and 6 coats of water based poly thinned 50/50 with water. I did stained the base/feet ,because it looked better next to the bark. Herb

  18. Project post was getting a bit long-winded...so 1st coat of varnish was applied today.. Was about the only spot in the house I had enough (barely) room and light.. Mainly out of Curly Maple, there is a bit of Cherry between the desk and the stand... Yes, I even varnished under the lid...need a better spot for the final pictures Not the best spot for a photo shoot? Been rubbing the coat out, getting ready for #2 coat tomorrow...we'll see how this turns out...
