The cost barrier to entry into even recreational woodworking is stupid high. Like even a decent table saw will set you back $500 and that's really only good for DIY stuff. You wanna talk professional it's like 2 grand for all the fancy fences and doodads.
I really just want to know the dimensions of each of the boards so I can make a cheaper version of these...
I wish I could rent a spot at a wood working workshop with fully stocked pro tools for like $20 an hour plus cost of building materials/storage.
This really should be a thing. I know there are outreach places here that let you borrow a lawnmower or yard tools. So I'm sure someone with enough goodwill and knowhow could make something like a woodworking shop happen.
well if @wokeupnew buys them, maybe they can let ya know. i'm definitely not taking mine apart hehe. they don't look that difficult to build actually. the sides are made from 6 pieces wood glued together, then 4 long horizontal pieces that screw down into the side pieces
That's what I was thinking. If they can be hobbled together from typical dimensional boards from a big box then maybe there is some savings. Albeit at the sacrifice of quality and finish possibly...
i'm not a super experienced woodworker and i think i could even build these shelves.....maybe that's the design i'll try to make...i have a mitre saw, clamps, drills and wood glue so with some sandpaper i think i should be good to go in terms of tools.
i wish so too, but i imagine insurance would be wild for a place like that...especially with inexperienced woodworkers.
True, though I had shop class in junior high as part of my public school education. I would be fine with signing a waiver.
we had one too and guessing we signed a waiver and rarely used the dangerous tools haha.
Yeah, we used the dangerous tools occasionally but our shop teacher, who was already missing a few digits, was basically standing over the entire time.
We live in a very litigious society.
They just put that on paper and made your parents sign it.
