You did a great job, and really nailed the G&G details.

What are the overall dimensions?

-- Nicky

Outstanding! Great design and excellent detail.

That…Looks…Incredible!!!! Great job. Could you post a picture of the sides? Kinda hard to see it in those four pics. Did you end up using those threaded inserts? I know G&G is generally done in Mahogany, but to me (and you) it’s much better in walnut!! Great choice. To me it helps understate the ebony plugs because it closely matches the dark grain of the wood. Once again…Awesome job!!!

Impressive. Very nice design & craftsmanship. I never want to add up the “man hours”. My projects usually take me 5 to 10 times as long as I think they will, even if I have every single detail designed.

Thanks for the comments. OC-I added a couple of pics for you. I did go with the threaded inserts which worked nicely. dnick- I have been trying to pay more attention to how much time i put into things to give me a more realistic idea of what i can do. Its funny because people ask me to do things for them all the time, but they dont actually realize what it is they are asking me to do. If someone sees this and i tell them i have 250 hours in it, they are less likely to say, “hey, can you make me one”. That would be great if I had rich friends and more free time.

Nice work! I Love G & G…. I have read Darrell’s book and his work is amazing as well. If you ever get out to Southern California, you have to go to the Gamble House in Pasadena. It was built for the Procter and Gamble Family by The Green and Hall Brothers. As I ‘m sure you know, the Hall brothers did most of the woodworking for them after they came up with the design. Its Trurly Amazing. From the structure to the furniture theres so much to see Blondie and I have gone 3 times already.

I hear ya on the Man hours I keep track for fun as well and when people ask for one I tell them the price with pride no matter if the buy it or not.

Randy,

You are quickly becoming an awesome woodworker!
Maybe you should be teaching classes for the store.

Very impressive design and workmanship

-- She thought I hung the moon--now she just thinks I did it wrong

thats flattering Kent, but woodworking can be challenging enuff without me confusing everyone.

Ken—I have seen pics of the Gamble House, and would love to visit. Im hopeing to eventually take a class at the William Ng school which i think would put me fairly close to the Gamble House. I have alot of money to save before i can do this.

-- RKWoods

LOL…. I hear ya, save ,save, save,,,, yes you would be close to go see it. There a few houses here from them. If you go to Ng class let me know I’ll meet you for a beer or soda. We live close. I here nothing but great things about Ng and have met him great guy.

-- Ken, "Everyday above ground is a good day!"

I will definately do that Ken, Im aiming for next year, but will probably be 2014.
