Made as a commission based on Death from Soul Eater, client's favourite anime

All solid oak with stained ash in the round pockets (First use for some of the free bits from my last post)

I hope you have better shin aim than I do

My first thought was death trap for children but if this client is commissioning artisanal pieces based on his favorite anime characters then I’m guessing there are no children in the picture.

Are we back to "Being a geek makes you a virgin" jokes? I thought we left those on reddit...

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago

Not necessarily that. Could just be "a parent of toddlers would never order a table like that, and wouldn't have the spare cash either."

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world -2 points 3 months ago

If it weren't part of a trend of jokes I see on here and the specific reference to anime then I might agree.

Agree or not, he’s correct. You may be a teenager trading virgin jokes with your friends but I’m a dad in his 50s and not into that shit even one tiny bit.

Not even a little. I’m not talking about sex here at all. This is about what it’s like to be a parent.

No, it’s more like “if you have the time and money for things like this, then chances are you are not giving almost all your time and money to children, as parenthood tends to require.

Very cool, but also oh my god do not walk into that thing in the middle of the night.

Pretty sure that's a Metroid.

Oh cool, meteoroid, with that guy Seamus the bounty hunter!

I want a millennium falcon coffee table too!

I take commissions 👀 and I've done wooden starships before, it's a natural next step haha

[-] brave_lemmywinks@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I thought it was a metroid.

[-] CelloMike@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I also made a build video for the first time, scary (I'm aware some of my tools are sketchy as hell, working up to affording better ones)

That is gorgeous! Excellent job man!

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I love the relief work around the eyes. It’s so much nicer than if the entire top was just flush. I’m sure it was a lot of work, too!

Your wood skills? Amazing. Your screw skills? Uhm…
