      built some furniture too..

      queen size lofted bed with HUGE desk under it

      still rocking it but bailed on the bed. the overhead lights were sweet but it was too heavy to move.

      entertainment center:



      this has two sliding glass doors to keep the dust out, custom built it because all i wanted was 1 equipment shelf and some DVD storage. Really it's a glorified bookshelf, and hindsight I would probly just re-purpose a bookshelf because this was like $500 in materials by the end of it.

      and of course this (just cheap old 2x4's for the most part)


      practically needed to use a force feedback wheel though. Forza3!

            That lofted bed is a friggin sweet idea. Makes perfect sense to get a bed and a desk (or two) into one area. Plus I had bunk beds as a kid and I loved em. I should build something like that now, that's freakin awesome.

                  I find this very cool for some reason.

                  This also sounds very cool. That sounds like a great job but I think I would burn out way to fast, to many hot long days and in the end I don't even get to enjoy it every day. I couldn't do it to long. I would like to build my own house someday though.

                  I snowboard.

                          nice! I'm working on an RD350 that should end up with the same basic style. Exhaust might sound a bit different though ;)

                                That's some nice work! Bravo!
