Planktons - What The Hell Am I Listening To?

Plankton · 06-24-2021, 11:19 AM

Songs about James Robert Kennedy... no wait. Just tunes about tuning in.

I'm carrying this stuff over from the Disc Golf thread so it's not completely derailed and while there's no Furniture Restoration thread anywhere here, not that I'd expect there be one, I figure this is as good of a spot as any. A bit of a hobby of mine, and I set up that huge wall of speakers in my garage to listen to stuff while I work on things, so this is what I'm doing while I'm listening. Sometimes. Lots of Yes and Goose in the background for this one, iirc.

Turned out decent though.

...and it aint a disc golf rack but here's my next completed piece. A garbage/recycling bin redone to match another piece of existing furniture for a friend.

List of modifications:

Disassemble (the hinges were busted and the bottom plank was loose and just pinned with pin nails, also the handle/knob was old and loose with no anchors to keep it from spinning)
Sand with 100/150/220
Paint interior with flat black spray paint
Tape off painted areas
Fill holes/gaps in face board mounted to the wood drawer frame with wood putty
Run a bead of caulk around inside perimeter of face board/wood frame
Paint exterior with flat white ceiling paint (for texture)
Resand exterior with 150/220
Remount bottom hinge plank using liberal amount of wood glue and existing pin nails
Fill old hinge mount holes with wood putty
Paint exterior with gloss white (6 coats)
Wood glue bottom support planks in place (they were also only being held together with just pin nails)
Mount foot nubs to bottom support planks to get the frame up off of the floor
Mask off accent areas where the wooden rivets/nubs are to achieve a rectangular bracket look
Paint masked off areas gloss black
Reassemble using new black handle/knob and new heavier black hinges

Up next: A Work Bench with mounted vice, peg board, and places to store things.

The Wall:

I added a sound bar to it lately. I got it free from my friend who moved so what the heck why not. It added some full centeredness to the overall sound. Very immersive, even though it cuts a bit of the L/R channel separation a bit. I also noticed I had the PA set to only the two channels, so I switched it over to Passive which includes the Sub. What a difference!

Glad you're enjoying them Dianne. That Leopard is at my friends place, who I restored the bin for. Her sister painted it in some sort of single day wood & wine workshop class or something like that. She'ss since passed from cancer, but yes she was very good with animals and volunteered at the local PAWS shelter every week. Personally, I struggle even with keeping house plants alive, so I'm not sure how my daughter's made it this far. lol

Love the HH pic. Neat little creatures, and the phrase "Explain it to me like I'm a 4th grader" was created because of me, so no problem there.

Also, you're good for conversation, and there's a lot of people who aren't. That's a huge part of being human, so you've got the most important part of all of this down pretty good, I'd say.

I'm always glad to see you respond, so thank you!
