Created from a Douglas Fir that was felled on my college campus to make way for a new business building. I was fortunate enough to have a roommate in the architecture program who had access to the leftover wood that was not integrated into the new building. With guiding advice from John Lounsburry, along with the use of his complete woodshop, I was able to construct this beautiful standing height table from scratch.
This project was born out of necessity, as many good ones are. The old bathroom door hinges were pulling out of the frame so something had to change. A pocket door would be an expensive solution, but an external sliding door fit the style of the house, and the budget. Built from Pine and stained in effort closely match the Oak trim on this 1920s Craftsman style house, this sliding door was a fun and practical project.
Standing tables are great for keeping meetings short and productive. The base is made from 14 gauge square tubing, welded together to produce a strong but surprisingly light base. Adding casters makes it even easier to move this table around to perform a variety of different tasks.
The best way to have your favorite frosty beverages on hand for any occasion. This converted 7 cubic foot chest freezer is capable of holding two 1/6th barrel kegs or one 1/4th barrel and one 1/6th barrel kegs with CO2 bottle, comfortably. Chest freezers radiate heat out through the skin, unlike a refrigerator which usually has coils running along the back. This fact was taken into consideration when building the top and the surrounding base, there is a 3/4 - 1” air gap around the chest with gaps at the top and bottom to allow for appropriate airflow. This ensures the chest freezer will run reliably for years to come.
