Title: Spring project (w/pics) Post by: Fuzzy on May 22, 2008, 10:05:44 PM So....earlier this spring there was:
1. No job 2. Weather was teh sukk 3. Susan had an idea for a project She wanted to do something in our entry. We had a bench that gathered all the crap that everyone threw on it as they came in the house. Now everyone has their own spot to put their stuff. So far, so good. *photos courtesy of eldest female daughter. From the beginning. Susan claims to be helping but I know it's just an excuse to stare at my tight little behind.

Quit setting the bar so high. My wife might stumble upon this place. Title: Re: Spring project (w/pics) Post by: Spanky on May 23, 2008, 05:54:50 AM My annual project is about half that.

Title: Re: Spring project (w/pics) Post by: Clive on May 23, 2008, 07:19:21 AM Was it that sunny inside your house that you needed a ballcap?
Nice work. [sm_thumbsup2] Title: Re: Spring project (w/pics) Post by: Aske on May 23, 2008, 07:24:12 AM Was it that sunny inside your house that you needed a ballcap? Nice work. [sm_thumbsup2] lol, must have been chilly, too. anyways, fuzz, the construction looks very nice, but i'm calling the engineering into question a bit.

[sm_thumbsup2] lol, must have been chilly, too. anyways, fuzz, the construction looks very nice, but i'm calling the engineering into question a bit. We keep our thermostat set lower than most. Doing our part for global warming. ;) I'm curious to your engineering question. For the record, stroh could hang 4 kegs from that bad boy. Title: Re: Spring project (w/pics) Post by: Walfredo on May 23, 2008, 07:41:05 AM Very nice.
If I don't paint the kitchen this summer I'm in deep *feces*. After I build a set of MOI matched Wishons though I promise.

I'm in the early stages (read: digging post holes and pouring a concrete slab) of building a patio cover and a pergola/trellis entryway into our backyard planting area. I could forward pics to your wife, if you'd like. Title: Re: Spring project (w/pics) Post by: stroh on May 23, 2008, 08:30:30 AM Look at you! You Dean Johnson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hometime_%28television_show%29) mother *fudge*er!
[sm_thumbsup2] [sm_thumbsup2] Nice work bud. Title: Re: Spring project (w/pics) Post by: stegerman on May 23, 2008, 09:09:09 AM I guss I never pictured you as a pink hoodie guy.. but then again I never really pictured you... nice work by the way.
I am now inspired to send photos of our remodel. Title: Re: Spring project (w/pics) Post by: Aske on May 23, 2008, 10:14:07 AM We keep our thermostat set lower than most. Doing our part for global warming. ;) I'm curious to your engineering question. For the record, stroh could hang 4 kegs from that bad boy. well, lol, i probably overstepped my bounds to really say so since its been about 10 years since i solved any frames/trusses, and about 7-8 years since that class where we analyzed stress and sheering in commercial lumber/etc ... so excuse me if I don't bother trying to solve all those force balance , moment balance, etc equations off of {bad} recall. (and i'm certainly too lazy to try to do it in 3-d at this point) and that said, i doubt you'd ever load this up to a point that it really matters..... let me simply ask, structurally, why did you lay out your frame that way (triangles opposite oriented and anti-symmetric...does that actually do anything, or is it aesthetic) , and why did you orient the bottom shelf diagonal support arms in a way they're more prone to buckle (guessing easy of assembly and materials availability) Title: Re: Spring project (w/pics) Post by: Fuzzy on May 23, 2008, 10:33:02 AM We keep our thermostat set lower than most.

But it is a surprisingly sound structure. [serious] This was built by looking at a picture of virtually the identical shelf/coat rack unit in a Martha Stewart Living magazine. I *feces* you not. hence the triangular aesthetics. [/serious] Please direct any engineering concerns her way. ;) ;D But the bottom shelf diagonal support is very standard bracket design for shelving, is it not? In fact the triangular pieces are just that - pre-made brackets. They'll support a lot of weight before buckling. Title: Re: Spring project (w/pics) Post by: spacey on May 23, 2008, 10:35:11 AM Triangles are pretty.
Title: Re: Spring project (w/pics) Post by: Fuzzy on May 23, 2008, 10:40:31 AM Triangles are pretty. 'Zactly. One doesn't argue with Martha. Especially when One is female and wants a shelving unit just the like the picture in Martha's magazine. Title: Re: Spring project (w/pics) Post by: Aske on May 23, 2008, 10:57:07 AM lol, well i just thought youd get a buckle a lot faster with the load applied across the thin and weak grain direction rather than if you oriented the support arms along the thick/strong grain axis . maybe gleek will chime in on whether you have a zero force member in that layout

They can serve as "walls" if he wants to stack *feces* up inside the compartments. Title: Re: Spring project (w/pics) Post by: twoiron on May 25, 2008, 03:46:21 PM Did you do it all 2 20?

Nothing buckled. I feel pretty good about the design, especially considering it's just shelf/coat rack. [sm_devil] And I think it looks good. ;) Title: Re: Spring project (w/pics) Post by: Clive on May 26, 2008, 04:36:46 PM Just for *feces*s, I just put 100# on the top shelf between the second and third zfm's.

Title: Re: Spring project (w/pics) Post by: spacey on May 28, 2008, 07:57:09 PM very nice! i take it the house is uphill from there? No, that's the backyard. We have a very similar rock wall in the front yard too.That looks almost like a torii. Inspired by, but not an attempt to replicate. Hopefully that's how it comes off.Title: Re: Spring project (w/pics) Post by: Fuzzy on May 28, 2008, 08:39:56 PM Very cool spacey! Good stuff. [sm_thumbsup2]
Reminds me (a little) of some garden tuteurs I made a few years ago.
