Dredging up my old thread to share some recent clams (#'s  6 and 7), both of which have some new "extras" - notably an adjustable-height leg with non-slip rubber foot, a tension knob, and an alternate "free standing" base. Hard to believe it's been almost two years since my first build

lol that's the biggest roach clip i ever seen don't let Cheech n Chong see that. Now for the serious its sure beautiful and like Retswerb said functional art, it would look great in anyone's house just for décor. I take it your selling those do you have a site?

Thanks all, appreciate the compliments. The stand was a custom request to make the piece optionally function similar to the bi-lim floor model. I quite like it myself so will probably continue to add that as a feature. I am offering up for sale as I go (these two are spoken for), but as I'm pretty slow with progress I don't really have a site / inventory to speak of

 

BTW I had to look up what a "roach clip" is, but I chuckled at the reference when I did

Amazing woodworking. Very inspirational. I found you while looking up examples to build my own.  You are just what I needed.  However, I would be interested in what you are asking for one you've made.  I like supporting the good work of others.  besides, I've never steamed wood myself.

Appreciate the kind words. For something similar to the most recent "fully loaded" models I posted (i.e., inclusive of the tension knob, the adjustable-height foot, and alternate free-standing base), my asking price is $650. I'd encourage you to build your own if you are already going down that route - I know I found it to be a rewarding and certainly a learning experience
