Furniture Friday!

Furniture Friday!
I'm going to doing something different and turn every Friday on the Big Z Creations blog into 'Furniture Friday'. I'll be posting a piece of furniture that I've randomly found on the web and attempt to discuss its design and construction elements. Perhaps we'll learn something together.

Today's piece is a modern outdoor chair and side table made of a honey glazed medium grain teak. The chair design is comfortably modern, with a mitred angle slat seat set and back support with doubled legs and arms. The seat is slightly oversized to accept an optional custom seat and or back cushion. The uni-leg table comes with a matching slat top to compliment the chair. The chair's uni-frame leg and arm construction utilizes clever single dovetails and allows easy bolt together to the seat and back. These construction elements were also carried into the table design. A simple honey glaze was used to bring out the natural elements of the teak, which leaves a modern and natural feel to the pieces. What results is a very modern, comfortable, sturdy, natural outdoor set of furniture that can, if properly taken care of, stand up to the abuses of weathering.

Yesterday.
A lot of progress yesterday! I broke in the table saw, broke out my drill, my Kreg Jig and started my quintessential project to kick start my woodworking in precision. Yesterday I began construction on my workbench/ outfeed table. I began my project by ripping the 2x4's to length for the legs, the length and width for the Horizontal supports. Next using the Kreg Jig, I placed a few of the pocket holes essential for the assembly. I will begin actual assembly tonight hopefully.

Another Tool.
During a lunch break yesterday, I found a 5.5 amp Jig/Scroll/Sabre Saw on Clearence for $53! Yes, you heard me correctly, $53 - Regularly priced at $80. I struck gold. LOL. At 5.5amps, this guy can handle plunge cuts as well.

To the Sea by Jack Johnson.

Bring on your hunters
Let them bring their dogs
It's me that you wanted
I've been right here all along
Right here all along
You better bring your buckets
We've got some dreams to drain
I'll be at the bottom
I've been right here waiting so long
Just waiting so long
Dreams to drain
Put them in a cage
Unlock the pain
And I'll be here waiting
You fell asleep with the key
All your walls
Mean nothing to me
I know you'll come back
To set us free
Run my dear son
Until we get to the trees
And then keep on going all the way
We've got to get right down to the sea
We've got to get to the sea
Oh my dear son
We've got to get to the sea
But don't you touch the water
Don't you barely breathe
And if you see yourself
Looking back at you
You're going to have to leave
You're going to have to leave
I don't want you to go
But you've got to leave
Dreams to drain
Put them in a cage
Unlock the pain
And I'll be here waiting
You fell asleep with the key
All your walls
Mean nothing to me
I know you'll come back
You're going to set us free
I don't want you to go
But you've got to leave
You can always come to me
I'll give you what you need
Run my dear son
We've got to get to the sea
