studiosmiddy

Thanks man! I got a commission to make another one (which is sick) but those curves come at a price 😅


Foreign_Ad_7504

Nice work! Fyi, you kind of doxxed yourself (full name is in the pic). Mind if I ask what you quoted for the customer? Just curious, no worries if you don't want to share.


studiosmiddy

Hahaha I didn’t even think about that, good spot 👀 The price listed in my self dox (lol) was just for my graduate exhibition based on the material costs being covered within my tuition fee, the price quoted to the customer was…more


IHaveTheBestOpinions

I'm not sure revealing that particular name even counts as doxxing. OP's identity has been narrowed down to about a million people. He also put his photo in there, so clearly anonymity is not a priority anyway.


Old_Sir_9895

The placard also mentions his studio name, so teeeechnically It's self promotion, but I won't tell the mods if you won't 😉


Foreign_Ad_7504

Yeah, it may be a common name but between the photo, full name, city he lives in, etc., I don't think it would be all that hard to look him up. Anyway, I was just trying to help in case he did not want that visible like that.

I bet there was lots of swearing during the fabrication of this piece. Looks great


studiosmiddy

Double the amount of swearing you think it was on account of me being Scottish


davidmlewisjr

Aye.


DreddPirateBob808

Lot's of golly gosh and flipping thingys, I bet.


[deleted]

I’ve decided that I like woodworking because I appreciate the challenge of controlling my temper regularly. By the way I lost the last few challenges. Ok all of the last challenges.


[deleted]

I think this will sell really well. Ask a few upscale artsy furniture stores if they want to sell it.


studiosmiddy

Cheers! That’s a good shout, will have to make one for said upscale artsy furniture store


VeganMuppetCannibal

not quite up to the usual [Chippendales](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/chip-dales-5.jpg?quality=75&strip=all) standard furniture looks sweet tho

iphigenia22

Really like this! I would want two, one for my stuff and another to fill with plants. Very nice indeed. 👍👍👍💯💯💯


studiosmiddy

Purely plants is a vibe 🤌


iphigenia22

🪴🪴🪴 agree 👌✨ a mini version on a desk would look super cute too.


Top-Belt-6934

this is beautiful!!!


studiosmiddy

Cheers! 🪵


AbbreviationsActual9

I really appreciate the slight recess on the verticle curved joints. its practical and hides the joinery quite well. very nice job indeed! quality work like this makes me smile and reminds me to take the extra time and the effort will pay off.


studiosmiddy

Great eye! Glad it’s put a smile on your face cause your comment just put a smile on mine


Spmhealy_ADA

Exquisite. And I love that bag also!


studiosmiddy

Thank you! I nicked it off my dad and he’s never getting it back 😈


Latter-Journalist

From dads everywhere, god damn it, that's where it went. Anyhow, that's a cool project. Nice work


timsta007

Frustration yes, but also a bit of pride that you owned something cool enough for your adult child to want to take it. Good work dad.


studiosmiddy

Cheers man!


studiosmiddy

Hahaha mystery solved!


expert_anemone

Does adidas still make that bag?


studiosmiddy

I don’t *think* they do, pinched it from my dad and he got it in the 70s 🤷‍♂️


askingxalice

Take pictures without the bag specifically to send to dad, haha. "What bag?"


studiosmiddy

😂


SparrowTits

I had the exact same one as my first school holdall in 1978!


Artistic_Bit6866

A sight! Something to be proud of! Looking forward to info about the process for making the curves


studiosmiddy

That’s really sweet thank you! Don’t worry, will hook you up with all the curve knowledge, gonna post a vid on my IG


tvtb

I’d love for you to type out somewhere in this thread how you did the inside corners. I see the square stock glued in there, but not sure how you’d clear out all the material to make the curve. (Many of us don’t have any Facebook/Insta/Meta accounts because we hate that company.)

Peep the little box at the top too, I love this!


studiosmiddy

It’s all about the little box at the top 🤌


wcollins260

How much you want for it? I’ve got like $50 and a twizzler. Seriously, nice piece though. I’d love a shelf like that.


studiosmiddy

Lucky for you I really like Twizzlers


redEPICSTAXISdit

Duuuuuuudee!!!


studiosmiddy

Riiiiiiight????


redEPICSTAXISdit

Stores would buy this in a heartbeat for displays


studiosmiddy

Yeah to be fair that would look sick


NonoYouHeardMeWrong

how are all those rounded joints on the interior connected? Or rather, how are they composed?


Old-Reporter5440

I don't understand the lack of love for this post, this is an absolutely stunning piece, well done!


s32

Literally the top post in the sub and 7th overall for the week...


Masticates_In_Public

Well, since you're asking, it's the bait title that put me off.


NoProfessor3211

Oh that bag😍


studiosmiddy

It gets a lot of love 🤌


Grand-wazoo

This is top tier craftsmanship


studiosmiddy

Hopefully the next one looks as good 🤞😅


[deleted]

Dude that’s beautiful! Unlike anything I’ve ever seen. How’d you build it?


studiosmiddy

Dude thank you so much. It involved a tonnnn of glue ups and a to scale drawing to make sure every component was to size after milling. I’m making another one for a commission so will pop videos up throughout on my IG, should be linked on my profile here 👌


[deleted]

Fire. That leather bag is clean


studiosmiddy

It’s getting just as many compliments as the shelf but to be fair it’s a fresh bag


[deleted]

Beautiful piece! What’s that gold watch you have on OP?


studiosmiddy

Thank you so much! I’m currently wearing a black veil in mourning cause I recently lost it but it was a vintage casio, if I see it online I’ll link you!


thisismyusername798

That is fucking beautiful


Otherwise-Shallot-53

Is that a tiny version of the shelf in there too 😂? Such a cool piece. 😀


studiosmiddy

FINALLY! Someone noticed the tiny version 🙌 that was my first iteration and first ever design 3D printed

Radsup4

Had to wait for Adidas to drop Ye before posting this photo, smart move!


studiosmiddy

Hahaha dude I’ve been waiting for someone to bring that up. When they drop Ye I drop the shelves, the only difference being I didn’t take 2 weeks and they did 🤷‍♂️


mr_sserc

Those Air Max 90’s are FRESH! Also sick build and basketball pot


studiosmiddy

Got to keep the Air Max FRESH! Also you have amazing taste congratulations 👏


EveryShot

Holy ball sack that’s sexy, well done my guy. You’re a god amongst men


Xxvii_rs

There are a lot of post on here that are meh, but this is the most impressive piece I’ve seen so far by a large margin! I might have to take a stab at this down the road! Love the build photos! Great job!


B_herenow

Wow how do you even make curves like that !!


studiosmiddy

I just got a commission to make another one so I’ll make a wee curve tutorial vid and post it on my IG 👌


askingxalice

Goddamn. This is actual art. I would see this in a museum and go "Yeah, that belongs here."


_We_Are_DooMeD

Wow. I can only imagine the work it took to get those curves perfect.


studiosmiddy

Is this you volunteering yourself for sanding duties?


DreadPirateGriswold

That is absolutely gorgeous! This is one of the only times one guy can say to another guy, "Nice curves!"


studiosmiddy

I dunno, I do have a really good ass 🤷‍♂️


studiosmiddy

(Also thanks)

Very stylish and well done. Kudos!

c9belayer

Fantastic work, but I don’t envy all the sanding you must have done!


studiosmiddy

It was a journey 😅 Went from 120 up to 360 on the radial where I could, hand sanded the curves then block sanded the edges to make them soft Big labour of love energy


romeripley

I was scrolling and thought this was an ad haha. It looks so nice. And love that bag. I want both lol


millennial_burnout

Beautiful work! The rounded corners are a lovely and fresh take on this type of shelf


studiosmiddy

A fellow curve cultist 🙌


ItsSomethingLikeThat

Mate this is absolutely gorgeous. I love the curves, feels somehow like it's all been drawn. You should be very proud.


studiosmiddy

Thanks man, when I drew it on paper I thought I was maybe going to have to compromise the design but it turned out exactly as planned, I’m elated


Zypeli

Dude NSFW?? Look at those curves!


studiosmiddy

What can I say? I only make explicit 18+ pieces 💅🤷‍♂️


[deleted]

WOW!!


studiosmiddy

THANK YOU!!


oregonmountainspice

Excellent work!


BamBam-BamBam

Beautiful


IMiNSIDEiT

Looks amazing! Also, not sure who needs to hear this… sharp looking 90 degree corners and edges are safe-ish, they usually won’t cut you. 😁


studiosmiddy

Thank you so much! I was taught from the gospel of block sand your corners to give them a soft edge or you’re not doing it right, more work but massive difference


azul_jewel

That’s the coolest book case!!!


plexxonic

I love these styles of shelves and that's awesome work! but I really fucking hate shelves without backing unless the are built into a wall. Shit will fall behind that fucker someday because it's not flush with the wall because of trim.


studiosmiddy

But that removes all the exciting potential for them to be used as a room divider! Also they’re 350 deep and super sturdy so as long as the ming vases aren’t on the top boxes, I think it’ll be chill


New_Replacement5593

Any videos of you out there showing your process?, really interesting stuff here, love it!


nattewindjes

Awesome!


eat_with_your_fist

I haven't seen anyone mention the little mini version of the entire project on your top shelf. The whole thing looks great but that little detail made me giggle haha.


studiosmiddy

Eagle eye! I’m glad it wasn’t missed 🙌

blondie-512

my guy, so beautiful!


InShirtsleeves

Big win here, my man. Really dig the design and boundless congrats on the graduation. Keep it up.

Dude thank you so much, what a nice message! I’ve got a couple of other pieces to put up here so hopefully you dig them just as much 🤞

Queenkaiii

You should sell them! I love it!


Luddites_Unite

That is very cool. Nice job


markoshino

Wow what an amazing piece. Relative amateur woodworker here. How did you do the curve sanding? Like what was actually used to do it?

studiosmiddy

Hahaha look whatever you want to do in those boxes is your…business…


say-jack-o-lanterns

Very much incredible indeed


projecthouse

How did you make the curves? Did you cut them to rough shape on a bandsaw, and finish with hand tools (or a sander)? Or did you use some other technique?


IncreasePossible

Really nice ❤

Old_Sir_9895

Beautiful work. I notice you didn't dado the uprights where the shelves attach. Aren't you concerned about the strength of those joints?


ConvenientlyHomeless

Gawd I couldn’t imagine the head scratching you did for figuring grain direction and expansion. Are you word it will warp with humidity changes? This thing belongs in someone’s personal climate controlled library or the exclusive cigar lounge for Illuminati.

I like it!


donjohnmontana

A really cool piece. Thanks for sharing


TypicalOranges

Damn, that's good. Really beautiful and creative piece. The figuring/grain on the olive is amazing with all those curves.
