Lumberjocks/Popular Woodworking Table challenge

You are jumping the gun Obi. Martin will get something posted on the welcome page. We don’t have all of the particulars as to finish dates etc.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

Oh well … we can still have the challenge if it’s only between you and I. there doesn’t have to be any prizes … looks like all the other jocks are skeered anyways. Besides this is MY blog and I’ll lie if I want to, lie if I want to, lie if I want to, it’s my blog and I’ll lie if I want to… (you know the rest of the song)

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

I didn’t say that there wouldn’t be any prizes, I just said that there wouldn’t be any winners.

I’m famous for jumping the gun, Karson. It’s called walking by faith. IS there a door? Is it open? If not kick it in and see whats behind it. Besides, it’s easier to get forgiveness than it is to get permission.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

If you recall I stuck a Lumberjocks logo on my website without asking. Tell the world that there’s a race and someone will show up. I expect Mark to put down his M&M’s long enough to build a table. Dick will build anything, I’m sure he can build one. If Dusty has gotten out of jail for freezin that poor old woman to death, I’ll bet he’s in …

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Hopefully we’ll get all of the particulars out in a day or two. And then we can get to work.

But just to let you know you are probably behind because I’ve cut all the rough pieces and glued up the top. (Not the breadboards yet)

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

Mark told me he was in when I talked to him last week. I sent him the PDF last week. he doesn’t get PW.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

I figure it’ll take at least a week… I’m still working on the $1,200.00 coffee table. I probably wont get started on this til tomorrow. But I gotta warn ya, Karson, I bought a Hunnerd Dollar Board just for this…

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

WHAT?? you started without me? whatta dog. What kinda wood you using?

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

What do you guess about 10 – 12 Bd ft of wood.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

This maybe the preliminary, depending if I like it or not.

Just something that I had laying around. (not pine, I don’t have pine laying around.)

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

Dont use crap sticks, I bought a Hunnerd Doller Board for this fight. You better be bustin out with your best “David Marks” style stash.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

I’m going to get my two son’s to make one also. And if I like their’s better, I might say It’s my wood so I’ll trade you. No where in the rules is it going to say you can only make one anyways. Besides I’m making up the rules.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

No … Make as many as you want, I’m making two and submitting the best one. But the rules are
1. yOU GOTTA MAKE IT AND GOD IS WATCHING.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

You bet, I’m going for the stash, but I don’t know which one will look better. This is no crap sticks. It’s imported Dude. But just laying around. Besides anything left on the property when I die, will probably be sold at garage sale disaster prices. So I might as well use it in the challenge.

There’s not enough there to build an entertainment center. And it’s tough to pick up one board, little lone a completed project.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

I didn’t see that rule in what I submitted to Martin.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

Well if that’s the case I could buy the thing from David Marks and say it was mine… although mine will look better than David Marks.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Rule adjustment coming.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

Any tools you have now at your disposal …
All jigs are acceptable
that table looks like three different sizes of wood
holes in the aprons are optional
dowels are optional
sizes are optional (can be taller, wider, longer)

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Everything is optional. Drawers, no drawers, carvings, woodburning, minature, fullsize or larger, Rustic or tradational. Attached to a bed or to a sofa, sitting in front of a TV holding the remotes. Everyone, and I request “EVERYONE” should attempt to make something and call it a Green and Greene side table (SOMETHING)

That wasnt the Green and Green thing was it?

haha Karson, I’m using my imagination.

I haven’t made a box yet!!!

yes, Obi. I got the picture. Very nice.

never thought of that Scott.
I’m changing my vision.. Oh drats—the rule is that I can only make one.. Darn. I was too fast on the typing earlier.

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Read the rules above. (Sorry not numbered) I’m making up the rules, and I never made up that rule. I may make 3 or 4 and pick the best one. Obi said he was in for 2 and he was going to purchase one of Dave Marks and pass it off as his own.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

I only said I could pass of one of David Marks as my own… I’m making both of them myself… I’m better than David Marks

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

His would never pass as one of yours Obi. His would have Blue Tape all over it.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

And his would be made out of Bubinga, or cocobolo, or zebra wood or that Quilted Mahogany of which if I ever find I’m gonna make one piece out of it and sell it for $250,000.00

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Looks like I better buy some wood too.

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

PW made their’s outof 8 Quarter and resawed the top, and the aprons and had the 1 1/4 for the legs. the shelf is 1/2” the stretcher is 3/4 top is 3/4 apron is 3/4” Breadboard is 1”.

I’m guessing somewhere around the 10-12 Bf range.

I’ve got one cut out so I’ll try to measure it.

I am always up for a challenge, will it fit my time schedule, I don’t know. But I will try. Challenges have brought me to where I am.

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

Yeah, I’m with you Todd. I’m in, although I should know better to keep piling things on my plate. Maybe I’m optimistic because it’s sunny out, the snow is melting (I can almost break the ice off the rest of the driveway, It’s T-shirt weather! (Of course if it was summer, we’d be pulling sweaters on!

-- I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it. - Pablo Picasso -- http://blanchardcreative.etsy.com -- http://snbcreative.wordpress.com/

I’m using 8/4 for the legs, 4/4 for the table top 5/4 for the whatever them edge thingies are 4/4 for the lower shelf thingy and 1/2” for the aprons. Now that was technicaql jargon.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

ok so what’s the deal then? do we have full rules? are we reproducing this exact table? or are we just having a table building contest? My shop opens in just over a week, and my wife is out of school and workin full time I Could get into this…

-- Cheers

Not exactly the same. Use whatever wood you wish, make it as tall/wide as you want. Add drawers if you wish but try to keep it in the same style.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Hopefully we will some rules up soon. What I want is the builders interperation of that table. Do what you want. It’s your choice. It can be a Rustic Greene and Greene, it can be walnut, cherry, barn boards your choice. You can have drawers or no drawers. Big or small or minature.

If you neeed the plans to start and you don’t have the pdf’s, PW sent them to me to send to the LumberJocks who want them. My email address is on my signature line.

very cool, Iill get started on my design…may have to add a coffee table in the style as well

-- Cheers

Here is the original design

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

I’m predicting a flood of THORSEN TABLES in 2007. I’m making a pair of matched tables.

SORRY KARSON I LOADED THEM TO MY WEBSITE.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Clear as mud we are building a what, a when, and a why out of something.

-- http://www.woodsongsfurniture.com

It seems to boil down to this.

Take a piece of wood (or anything). Make something out of it (just like, sorta like, or not at all like, but) inspired by the picture Obi posted/plans Karson sends you, then call it a Greene and Greene Side table!

-- I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it. - Pablo Picasso -- http://blanchardcreative.etsy.com -- http://snbcreative.wordpress.com/

In your case Dennis, I assume that it will be a Rustic Greene and Greene Side table.

Be patient, please.. we’re discussing details with Glen of PW.

patient, Martin?? I think you lost these guys ages ago! They are inspired! I can see the woodchips flying from here :)

I believe it is worth to be patient in this case haha

hints don’t come much bigger than that!!!
I’m waiting; I’m waiting hehehehe

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Life sustaining, paying projects come first, but I am really anxious to see what the time frame on this is.

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

Patience? Karson is the one that has already cut out his. I just saw the picture on the cover of the magazine and decided I wanted to make one just like it, using different woods. That’s what started it all. To make a table that looked like the cover… No whosits or whatsits, just thingies. And Im not sure what the thingies on the sides of the top are called, because I didnt read the article… I’m old school, I just look at the pictures.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

I think Martin means all of the LJs interested in participating should have patience with the release of the (un)official guidelines and rules on whatever might be coming up here in conjunction with Popular Woodworking, Obi.

-- Ethan, http://greystonegreen.blogspot.com/

Yes, we’re working on the rules to make this challenge official.

-- Martin, http://lumberjocks.com | My Facebook: http://profile.to/msojka

Thanks Ethan, glad you cleared it up for everybody else. I’m a rebel, and have a problem with rules … Karson is a Lumberjock, and it sounds like he’s already gotten started on his own table… so does that mean that he’s disqualified for jumping the gun? LOL

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Wow, I can’t hardly keep up with this topic. Everytime I glance away, another couple of postings appear.

I will start eyeing some lumber in preparation anyway…

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

and we just got our bandsaw up and running.. I wonder if that will be an asset ;)

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

72 comments—see what you and Karson have started!!!

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Well Karson did say he was going to make at least four of these tables, or at least get his sons to make some too. He needs the extra time, even if it means a slight penalty for a false start!

Lumberjock, to your marks, get set…. (wait for it)...

None of the other projects will get any work done, but I’m the boss.

(wait for it)....

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Well i’m back, Don’t pay the ransome. I was at Toy making today. Nothing accomplished on my table. So penality cut in half. Wait this is a prototype so that I can assist anyone who has question. Penality eliminated.

Besides I set the rules. (With Martin’s and PW’s concurrence of course.)

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

I’m going to make MY table according to the picture on the cover, I’m going to use the wood I bought JUST for that table. I didnt read the article so the only measurements I really had to go on was about 24” tall.

Since the wood for the legs cost me about $50.00 and I can make two tables, I’m going to make a set of them and sell them for an incredible amount of money. Probably $400.00 per table. If I don’t sell them I will be the only person on the world with a matching set of tables that are made exactly like these and when I die, they’ll be worth about $25,000.00 each.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Yeah Karson … blah, blah, blah… yakkity smakkity

I wanna hear that somebody went and bought their wood.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

Well it sounds like Bill is going to start looking.

Dusty’s just going to use scraps.

Debbie’s got a whole pile of deer skins.

-- What happens in the workshop stays in the workshop. No wait that doesn't sound right. Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com †

Bill knows where I get my sticks and if he asks the right questions, they’ll probably tell him.

And if Dusty is planning on using scraps, they better be some nice scraps. I’ve seen his work and he does a great job, but yer gonna have to compete with my ”HUNNERD DOLLAR BOARD”

lol fair enough Obi, I’m just…chomping at the bit…to get started, my wife thinks it’s stupid, BUT I want to replace my coffee tables with something else, this is the perfect opportunity to do so, AND lose a contest. I want Don to get in on this, he’s been quiet of late, Obi you and Dick have even passed him as top jock.

Yes, Karson, this has already been a lot of fun, just feeling the camaraderie between the Jocks.
If we never see a table, this has become an intrical part of what Lumberjocks.com and what being a LumberJock is all about.

And I am still looking forward to seeing the variety of variations that comes forth. I know that I am going to be amazed.

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

we still have to make a table? with all this chatter, you’d think we’ve already finished ;)

You all have a head start I cant start untill next week,I have a pine hutch to finish.
Yes pine (obi) pine can be nice if used in the right ways.

no one really has a head start because it doesn’t start until Sunday.

Karson,

I sent a request for the plans but that was before I made it to the end of this massive thread. I’m stoked. Just what I need to get me off my frozen tundra keester. I guess I’ll have to wait until Sunday so as not to be suspected as a jumper of the gun.

I know this much. At least I have the same lamp pictured in the links that Obi put up. Maybe it will sway the judges in the ‘attention to detail’ category…

-- Jeff, St. Paul, MN

I can see that none of our LumberJock members have a competitive nature.

That just gives me a warm feeling all over.
:)

Go, Obi. Go, Obi!!! oooh hah

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

I originally wanted to make this table for myself. I’m still going to make what i saw reguardless of when the start date is. This is Business not a hobby, I got to get both tables done as soon as possible… Let the tables begin

Maybe not in the normal sense of the word… maybe there is something else, like publication of whichever PW determines to be their top five favorite versions in a forthcoming issue of PW mag.

I just think it could be a lot of fun, myself. I like the challenge of taking a piece and making something inspired by that piece. Already have a few ideas drawn out in my ever-present drawing pad…

LUMBERJOCKS: HOKE of the Dead Horse Beaters

Wow, at least the postings slowed down – only 4 in the last day. I can finally catch up on the thread.

That last one was supposed to read “HOME” of the Dead Horse Beaters… that’s what I get for trying to type in the dark.

And, Bill? Maybe it’s due to the fact that people are actually in the shop doing something constructive instead of sitting on their butt’s runnin their gums. :D I just came in for a nap and thought I’d run my gums. (finger exercises)

Thank you Karson… so hoke of the dead horse beaters confirms my previous notion that it made absolutely no sense whatsoever.

let the poor boy sleep.
He’ll post the rules soon enough.

(( I can see a few competitive woodworkers getting their toothpicks ready so that they can prop their eyes open, waiting for Martin, not wanting to fall asleep, with their drawing pencils in one hand and their tape measures in the other.. ))

Nothing changes… what i had in my head two weeks ago is still in my head, and just because I’ve cut a bunch of material into certain lengths and sizes that might be made into a table doesnt mean that it’s that table, and even if it is, nobody can prove it.

I’ve never seen any one item get so much attention, even before it’s Hit the pages.

Isn’t this fun what we started.

I simple challenge between you and I has got all of LumberJocks waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I’ve changed my mind on what I might or might not make.

You still continuing on the same path?

Well since it’s Sunday afternoon in Australia I can say this… “I’ve already started cuttin’.

Legs for both tables are cut from the hunnerd dollar board. The rest of the table is gonna be left overs and scraps.

And yes Karson, it is kinda fun… sparkin’ up the competitive nature of the naturally-wild-but-raised-in-captivity-and-domesticated Lumberjock.

So what have you cut so far?

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

I’m making a set of twins. I’ve cut one of them but have not done any further milling.

The other twin, I dug through the woodpile and have found a couple of boards that might match my requirements. The wood is 8 years old and it’s not been planed yet.

One of the boards is 19” wide so I’ll be able to make a one board top on it.

I think he was just teasing us with the “Sunday”
nah.. I’ve messaged him already and he is (or was) busy getting it put together.

Of course that was an hour or so ago.
I guess he got sidetracked with life or something.
