scottshoemaker Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Well that sure was fun! Now onto the next project. I'm totally ripping off looting the Warhamster's display board. Not surewhat army I'll be bringing, but after a bit of budgeting forecast a brand new army is off the table, so it'll either be 30K Iron Hands or Militarum Tempestus/Knight Household force (I've got that stuff) or maybe reconjiggered Evil Sunz. A custom brain crusha battle fortress and more battle wagons would be cool. Let the building begin! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted August 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 The bottom half of the board is all framed up. The space in front is just void, but the open back will be a nice little storage shelf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andozane Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Damn man! I haven't even put my stuff away yet. Heh, I was looking at the dinner table last night that is covered in random dice and Nurgle Daemons and thinking the same thing.... (they are still there, better put that way tonight) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted August 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Damn man! I haven't even put my stuff away yet. I'm in the middle of building a bed frame and waiting on a router bit, so I want to get building something while the weather is nice. Only 1 year left to get stuff done for OFCC! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottshoemaker Posted August 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Got the shelf liner in place. All nicely glued and ironed in.It's a nice fabric I found that feels like felt, but wont's be quite so prone to pilling. Now to get the top sheet ready, it's just construction grade 3/8in ply so it has some knots to fill. Then I'll sand it smooth and attach it to the top. The bottome sheet is the same 3/8 ply, and the framing is 1x2 furring strip, so it's actually light for what you get, less than 5 lbs so far. The loose edges of the fabric will be glued in place and compressed when the top is attached. I'm prototyping here but I can already see opportunities for that void... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinx Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Just let me know sizes etc so i can build the same once you have come up with the finished thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted August 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Just let me know sizes etc so i can build the same once you have come up with the finished thing. Sure thing, but I'm planning on building 4. I've already got the material. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted August 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Got the top all filled in, sanded, and secured in place. then glued and ironed the "felt". You can see the nice little shelf inside. I'll make this first batch this way, but honestly I'd rather have the top just a nice finished wood, using lightweight birch ply or something similar. I can see the green getting gunky. Oh well, I need to do it to know, plus the ply I already had was ugly, but now I know. Next is the trim. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Dammit, Scott, doesn't matter if it's your orks or your shelves, you really know how to make me feel like crap about my lack of motivation to hobby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenge accepted. To be fair, I'm learning woodworking, so little projects like this are forward momentum for me. I don't really have shop space anymore, so smaller things like this are all I can manage for now. The bed project is, awkward to get done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinx Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 So is the shelf for books, dice etc or is it large enough to store minis in Scott? Im actually intrigued to see where this is going! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted August 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Really for gaming supplies, books etc. Only an inch high. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Glacius Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 No hinged door with magnetic lock to make sure your gaming supplies don't fall out?? Sweet Jesus Scott!

Funny you should mention that... I would think having it close with the front flush, but open with magnets on the Trim, assuming only the sides and back trimmed. I forgot you had your top completely open, though. In other words, why are you on the internet? Get to the garage!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
