Post by: Tamer on January 27, 2009, 07:42:03 AM: Rodger, how much time has it taken you to do this so far? As I have done a small bit of woodworking myself I can't even imagine. Man, what great tools you must have too. Awesome stuff!
Title: Re: Cantina 4
Post by: Darth Revenge on January 31, 2009, 06:53:56 AM: I'm sure envious of Rodger's tools too ^^

I haven't really timed it. I've been spending alot of time on shop improvements and rearranging for a small production run. ;)

Here's some old and new picks of the band stage...

Some of everything. MDF with real wood reinforcement. The side brackets are plywood and the back is Luan.

Post by: Clonehead on April 12, 2009, 03:21:25 AM: Pretty slick looking, Roger! I like how you hid that power cord.
The tie fighter shelf 2 turned out pretty awsome. You should show us some completed pics.

Post by: Tamer on April 14, 2009, 05:06:41 PM: Awesome shots Rodger. Wow, I love that top addition to the shelf with the computer components and extras. Simply amazing. You ever think about doing a walker shelf along those lines? Something up top like that tie shelf and then something like a lower shelf that goes around the troop transport and head canopy area? I am quite narrow in my focus though I must admit. LOL. I am gonna have to pm you about a few idears I have so as not to "jack" your thread.

That being said, can't wait to see what you are working on next. I love the though of being able to buy a few of your goodies too. Thanks for the update!

Post by: Clonehead on April 14, 2009, 06:27:43 PM: That is one sharp piece, Rodger! Have you thought of doing one for the bigger winged ties like they sold at TRU last year?

Post by: Rodger on July 26, 2009, 05:43:04 PM: Sorry All but outside forces have kept me outa the shop (wood working that is) for about a month ina half. :(
