Hypnotized

The carcass is built from 1/2 sanded plywood assembled with pocket hole screws. In this picture I am filling all the seams and nail holes with filler.

I used hardboard for the moulding, which was glued and tact to the plywood. Again the holes were filled and then everything would be sanded down. The knobs were cut from some cherry scraps and are fitted with bolts through the front so that they can turn freely.

Maple scraps for the feet.

Primed and painted. I was running short in time so made a quick faucet and backsplash out of more cherry scraps. I had wanted to do something more detailed but it was after 11pm Christmas Eve when I was adding the final details and I needed to get it done and out for the kids by morning.

The oven door is plexiglass, with some metal screen spray glued onto the inside.

Burners installed and ready to set out for the kids

A few hours later

It's been 2.5 years since I made this and I have to say this has probably gotten the most use of any toy they have, and has held up without issues.

Some random build pictures. I didn't do a great job documenting this build.

I have made a few of these as gifts for cat lovers in the family. The cats are made of three layers of 3mm birch plywood cut out on my laser cutter.

A few other versions I have made

Built back in 2015 so the cellphone picture quality isn't great by today's standards.

I was just getting into woodworking as a hobby back then and my mom asked if I would turn her entryway closet into something with more open space. This was the result.

Its been 9 years since I tore it down and exited the hobby but I still enjoy looking at other people's builds and planning for when I can get back. So posting it here to help boost reef content on Lemmy, in hopes more will join in!

Was playing around with some Ai generated banner for another community and thought it would be interesting to see what would happen if I tried Lemmings doing woodworking.

Just sharing for fun. It sort of makes the lemmings look angry, lol

Edit: user Tallwookie requested

Spent some time creating a bunch of matchbox cars with prompts from my kids. Try coming up with some of your own and posting them here.

We had an ugly metal clad solid wood exterior door that leads from a basement family room into our below grade garage. I had redone the floor and trim in the family room and was looking for a way to fancy up the door without having to spend a fortune.

Original door

Took the door off and cleaned it up

Cut 1/2 MDF to size to give the apperance of a 5 panel door

Glued on the panels, and filled and sanded all the edges. Chamfered edges

Primed

Paint added

Rehung- the MDF made an already thick door significantly thicker so I had to spend quite some time finding hardware that would work.

It's been 4 years since this was installed and it's held up perfect. I was worried about the MDF getting dinged, but it has not.
