Nick Offerman posted a photo of an Enzo Mari dining set that they were proud to have made for a customer.   FYI, Enzo is/was an famous italian designer.   Ugh, not my taste.  Someone commented, "This style just looks like the very bad chairs made in a first year woodshop class. These are the kind of chairs I would keep in my garage and when questioned, shrug my shoulders and say, "Well, I made it out of scraps""

 

Can't decide if they used drywall screws or nails like the originals.  Notice there's three different styles of chairs, each with different seats and backs.

 

Whaddya think?

He must have been the pallet furniture pioneer.  Picnic table grade.

No style, no lines, no joinery. 

Even HS shop class could do better

I've had people that have had that Restoration Hardware unfinished dining tables and within a year they are full of grease and food stains.   That stuff will be in Goodwill in 5 years.

tell you what, if you pay me enough money, i'll build that for you.  but....I will not mark it with my name, and i'll deny I made it if asked.

Not my taste but, about my skill level.

With a little time and some practice I might be able to make a picnic table like that too. Note to self: Start scrounging pallets and save nails.

...well "grasshopper" ya' trump me then.

Did Enzo build these before or after he embezzled the Godfather's money?

I guess you'd call it " square cut joinery".

 

But hey, all you need is a hammer and saw.   Not even a saw if you can get Homer to cut the 1-bys for you.

 

This make you feel any different about the table?

 

 

 

 

 

The other thing he appears to be famous for:

My legs look interesting, too; but if they looked like that i'd have long pants on that table.
