Oh man. Mixing walnut and coffee stuff, two of my favorite things. Any chance you have ever made a v60 filter holder in the past? I tried to commission someone on Reddit but they never replied. Below is what I saw and NEEDED but could never get. Let me know if you would like take on a project!
Thanks. We were moving, so I took some photos when I disassembled it. That was two houses ago now, and it's currently set up in roughly the same configuration, but a bit lower and with fewer duct runs (planer, Table saw, and "other"). One of the simple PLA blast gates came apart in one of the moves, but for how simple they were they've held up well.
Yes, of course, but not without time and work that may not be worthwhile unless the tree has sentimental value.
There are urban sawmills and DIY sawmills that can plank out the trunk of that tree. Then, you'll need to let it dry and/or get it to kiln. This will take at least months and maybe a couple of years and has wrinkles of its own (wax/paint on the ends and "stickering" between the planks). After that, maybe it comes out really lovely. I don't know the exact species you've got there. It will likely be nicer than the Spruce/Fir/Pine construction lumber from Home Depot, but it's also still kinda likely to look like... well... construction lumber.
In the unlikely event that you desperately want to make something from this tree, and also have no desire to properly process the wood, you certainly can. It's not going to explode or anything, it just might not have a look many find desirable. I've never really known anyone to do greenwood turning with pine, but conceptually I guess it might be possible, if also sticky. Could also do some other bentwood green work, but that has a very specific look to it. Beyond that, you could try something rustic and just let it be when it inevitably warps and cracks. Or you could embed a pinecone or a little sliver of it in some resin, then turn that on a lathe.
Or you could make a great big pile of firewood, LOL.
Not at hand, but they are 1/2” plywood with simple routed grooves on hardwood runners. Two of the three have little 3d printed, scalloped pen “trays”. The third is deep enough for most brands of 50-60 mL ink bottles.
The back is just hardboard set into a rabbet, so this thing looks neat against a wall. It’s also heavier than it looks, lol, and with plenty of, umm, “character”.
