I creeped your Photobucket
There's a Z! I have a 74. Post some more pics of that goodness
Nice cutting board. You picked a great species.
I dunno about sharing with you faggots, but here's a TV stand I built in my garage last fall.
Pre-stain
Post-stain
And a Sketchup render
Couldn't find anything local that fit the dimensions I needed so... I just made one.
It turned out OK for a first woodworking project. I didn't use enough clamps when I glued the top so it's a tiny bit warped.
Next is a desk.

I can't take credit for all of the good welds
some were my friend that taught me how to TIG. I need to finish the wastegate dump and downpipe...I'm going to run them both through the pass fender, with a 4" cutout to 3" out back in case it needs to be quiet 
Here's the Z too...it's a 77. I had an aluminum 5.3/t56 to go in it, but I sold them to do an RB26. Then, I changed my mind again and decided to go with a 6.2 out of a denali/escalade (basically an LS3 for half the price) and TR6060. I was about to pull the trigger on everything that Techno Toy Tuning makes, and some Watanabe wheels, but decided to get some land instead. It'll happen eventually. Let's see that 260!

Well thanks! I do need to practice more though. I always tell myself I'll practice and make all these coupons, but I end up "practicing" on my actual projects because I don't have time. I got really lucky and have a friend that's an excellent TIG welder. He let me borrow his chinese Eastwood TIG 200 for a whole year and let me bother him with questions
I bought my first machine (Lincoln square wave 200) last month, and it's night and day. I struggled for the longest time with dipping the filler into tungsten, not adding enough filler/going too slow on aluminum, incorrect torch angle etc, and now I'd like to get down long passes on stainless. I'd like to work on learning AC settings as well. My machine has balance and frequency, but I do end up with this peppery black stuff in some of my aluminum welds sometimes. Not enough cleaning I guess? I also want to learn how to start walking the cup like pipe welders do, but I only have a pyrex cup right now so I have to freehand things. What size alumina gas lens do you walk the cup with on stainless? Depends on the thickness? Are you guys in the oil patches up there? That's a fucking man's work right there...like I said, I have the utmost respect for you guys busting your asses on stuff like that. If you have more pictures of welds, especially sockets and stuff, I'd love to see them.

Looks good! I do warn one of the downfalls of sketchup is those legs look great but the actual product with those legs I bet wont look near as good or be a great stable option....

Gorgeous Z, I love it. I wish I had the balls to cut mine up for flares. I just dropped a fresh SBF 363 motor in it built on a 4-bolt Dart block.. Im thinking the puny 205 rear tires are gonna be good for about nothing! Mine looks mostly stock from outside..
The body is perfect not a spec of rust on it. If it wasn't so clean I'd flare it for sure.
I assume you're talking about the desk.
You can't tell from a render obviously, but the legs are aluminum and I've already specced them out with a metal fabricator. Only the top of the desk will be wood. I've given a lot of thought (worry) to how sturdy it will be and I'm not cutting any corners there.
