Hey @elonmusk was just wondering, is the crumple zone in the #Cybertruck accomplished by scoring also?

I’m making a prototype out of fumed dark oak. I’m trying to decide wether to do the drawer faces in bleached maple to contrast and highlight the dark thin cabinet edge. What does everyone like better. Dark or... https://t.co/bKZpT5avAD

Maybe the best place for lumber in all of NYC. @singhhardwood in the Rockaways has so much lumber it’s amazing. Was looking for some Fumed Oak and found a big pile of it tucked behind stacks of every other species you could ever need. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 https://t.co/FBkqtrlHnO

Putting in some very long joinery in a test leg for a dining table. The final table will have aluminum legs but I’m making this wood version quickly to check proportions and leg knees and feet clearance. Not... https://t.co/V9cOlJHe8k

Making templates for a dining table using my new handheld CNC router. Last year you would need a room sized $100k machine to do this. Now you can get 95% the same accuracy in a handheld machine. Follow a line... https://t.co/Ck3uYIf2LU

Some iterations of the new upcoming cabinet design I’ve been working on. It’s more delicate than some of my other cabinet designs. Thinner edge, two different wood species to highlight the thin edge and the... https://t.co/0UB2nz7mNf

A detail from below of the Halsey fracture handle with Westcott navy lacquer drawers we delivered a couple weeks ago. It took a while to figure out how to properly do these handles without screws, but makes all the difference! Precision was key!

A new dining table! ‘Silicon Seven’ names after a special place it’s going in #siliconvalley. Solid #aluminum legs cuts from blocks made for an incredibly sturdy table with light and airy legs. Looking forward... https://t.co/wGb1PqSow4

Love seeing the #halseyfracture detail in different material combinations. #maple #aluminum and what will soon be a very slightly cool white lacquer. Getting these handles to work takes a lot of effort skill and... https://t.co/T6oDUjnXcD

Loves adding splines. I usually only use them when a solid wood cabinet’s case is simple and understated. Adds a lot aesthetically. The splines get sawed off then sanded flush. They add strength but I love them for how they look. #tailoredfurniture
