Nice work. I'm impressed with the finish.

Bogus link there, dude.

P.S: Thanks for the heads-up on CWW mag. I'm looking forward to
getting my copy.

Fixed. I had inadvertently turned on RAW messages and got the
= line ending. The L in html had gone away, hence the error msg.
I turned off raw view and all is better now, though when I saw
"pickled oak" (his wife's idea, no doubt), "polycrilic" and
"pine/cherry stain", I cringed repeatedly. (Sorry, Will.)

Give me a break. lol I made the desk in more innocent times...

(She did find the matching stain by the way -- d**n $%#@@#$ helpful=20
salesman at the local home hardware. )

She puts her d**n coffee cups on the desk. Besides -- we had to match=20
the commercial crap. :-(

Next time I will just make the whole desk suite and forget matching the=20
commercial stuff. _Then_ I can make it of oak or walnut and put a real=20
man's finish on it. G

At least I didn't make the desk of cherry and then pickle it...

Ditto my kitchen cabinet doors in Diamondthane, but I put it on
in very thin coats and kept it from looking plasticky. I put poly on
only 2 projects before deciding that it just wasn't the stuff which
should go on wood. Maybe we should date our project pics to let folks
know how young and foolish we were back then. snort

Did you track him down and let the air out of his tires at work,
perchance?

Wuss.

Such as Waterlox?

Instant Karma would have been severe with you if you had, señor Weel.

Which dimensions are you talking about ... the height to depth? The
Golden Ratio is about 1.618, or about 8-to-5.

You should be able to deduce the approximate dimensions, but to give you
a start, the width is 10.5 inches. Form that you should be able to work
out the rest of the dimensions, the placement and dimensions of the cut
outs, and the angles. Just alter the dimensions to match _your_ shoe
sizes and styles.

The cutouts at the top allow you to easily move it for cleaning floors.
The bottom cutouts allow you to cope with minor imperfections in the floor.

So for those of you who wondered about some of the weird threads on
design ratios and proportions, you can see for yourself if you like the
results.

Or 5:8

There is a difference of one between the Golden Ratio and it's inverse=20
if I recall correctly -- or you can count tree branches if you like. :-)

You should be able to deduce all the dimensions from that number and the =

ratio... Have a bit of fun and look at it -- if you want to and have=20
the time.

It could give you some ideas for shelves, cabinets etc. :-)

I am just doing another simple project and should be able to post=20
pictures in the next day or so -- then you can look at that one too...

Yep. GR - 1 = 1/GR

From that, you can get GR = 1 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 + ...))))

There are an incredible number of relationships with the GR, both in
geometry and in nature itself. I think that the perspective ratio of
vision in one's eye even approximates the GR.

And who said math isn't exciting???

My friend puts each of her 200+ pairs of shoes in a clear plastic box
complete with lid.

Boxes are then stored in a closet with a shelving system from the BORG.

Works great.

Can look thru the box to see the shoes.

Also lets me spend my time working on the boat which works for me.

Soooooo, how -is- Imelda, anyway? (You dog, you!)

I have added a paper towel rack to the page. I cannot remember the=20
design ratio used. The oak is 3.5" wide -- so you can figure it out...=20
Not that there is a lot to work with on something so small.

Just refresh the page if you do look.

Four pieces of wood again...

Is four a magic number? (other than being the sum of two primes the=20
