Building An End Table Using Solar Power And Reclaimed Lumber

in #homesteading7 years ago

I built an end table using only solar power and reclaimed lumber because our tiny home does not have any storage. This end table fits nicely next to the couch and has storage underneath a hinged lid.

I bought a couple truck loads of lumber from a local saw mill this summer. It had been sitting outside a long time and there were worm holes in the wood. But I saw a beautiful end table inside all that gray surface area.

I planed the wood down to reveal the wood inside. Then I cut the pieces to fit. I had some nice real 2x12 lumber for the top pieces and some 1x9 for the sides. A couple pieces of 2x5 were ripped to form the legs.

I am running my entire wood shop off the grid using the power of the sun. I have a battery bank in my electronics shop with 800 watts of solar panels charging them up. This is enough to power all of my wood shop tools as needed and when they are needed because most tools are only used intermittently.

I am using three pieces of the 2x12 lumber to make a 15 inch wide by 36 inch deep end table. This fits perfectly next to our tiny house couch. I could not find anything to properly fit in there so I decided to make my own.

The storage underneath will be nearly 9 inches deep by 15 inches wide and by 36 inches long. This gives me a lot of space to toss things inside.

Please ignore the comments below.

Trolls from YouTube have found me here and are harassing me.

They spread some horrible lies about me and my wife in hopes of turning people away from us.

Many have believed the lies and joined them.

They harass us in the real world and online.

All we do is share videos of our daily lives on the homestead.

Please do not give them the attention they seek.

Please ignore their comments and do not engage them.

They are dangerous in the real world.

Thank you.

Nice table and a great addition to your home.

Thank you. Just wait till you see when I finished it. That video will come soon. I reworked it quit a bit.

firewood?, Most women would not allow that crap in their homes. Maybe Ming ling needs glasses

Most women dont have to worry about being deported. Hence she is treated like a slave. She had it better in a 3rd world country

Problem is with these morons, they have no class, they tell Reid they like his creations and encourage the bum to do more.

IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THE LORD , YOUR GOD ,AND DO NOT CAREFULLY FOLLOW ALL HIS COMMANDS AND DECREES, YOU WILL BE CURSED IN THE CITY AND CURSED IN THE COUNTRY . THE FRUIT OF YOUR WOMB WILL BE CURSED . THE CROPS OF YOUR LAND , THE CALVES OF YOUR HERDS , THE LAMBS OF YOUR FLOCKS .YOU WILL BE CURSED WHEN YOU COME IN , AND CURSED WHEN YOU GO OUT . THE LORD WILL SEND ON YOU CURSES, CONFUSION , AND REBUKE EVERYTHING YOU PUT YOUR HAND TO, UNTIL YOU ARE DESTROYED AND COME TO SUDDEN RUIN , BECAUSE OF THE EVIL YOU HAVE DONE IN FORSAKING HIM

@areuagardener, Spoiler Alert. Troy installs the hinges wrong and clear coats the table.
Not much to write home about.

P.S., he never did build the book shelf for the corner as promised.
Reid doesn't keep his promises.

most end tables don't require you to clear the top before accessing the storage inside. He is a regular furniture maker. I guess Michigan don't have real furniture stores

He has a band of dedicated goons on his YouTube channel that send him their money because he refuses to get a job.
His 100k subs on YouTube, I believe are mostly bought hence the reason for only 2 or 3 thousand views of his no content video.
I think what has amazed me the most since he has been on here is just how nasty he is, throwing random accusations at everyone because he can't delete their comment.
Trogs story of scanning and stupidity is a long one, he is the only YouTuber I know that has a superb dedicated .sucks site, it is definitely the best place to gen up on his evil doings.

His filthy Header Is Back, so be it Reid,
Lets give him what the filth wants!

For anyone that's new to Troy Reid, beware, he is one evil, scheming, scamming little ebegger.
He is also dangerous, if you upset him there's a chance he may invite you to his yard to fight with you.
The moment you disagree with him, you become his enemy and labelled a Troll.
To help understand Troy’s basic problems this video is useful.

A good place to also visit is http://thedoityourselfworld.sucks, although it is closed at the moment, there is lots of information on the introductory pages.
Take care out there and remember, Troy Reid is a danger, his threats are all here on the blockchain as well as backed up elsewhere.

You are correct @thedarkdestroyer, Reid invited Me to come to his 3 season cottage in Lewiston Michigan so I can see him "face to face" so I can "piss my pants" and "end this with open hands, but only in the daylight".

Only a dangerous person talks like this.

It appears that people are NOT ignoring us Mr. Reid.

Many are taking note that you are recycling your lies here in Steemit now.

Trog,

trog thinks using propane like its going out of style is off grid. Free firewood used in a wood stove is off grid- you are now totally dependent on propane and of course grid power. Not off grid by any stretch of the imagination

This disgusting bum borrowed ladders from a neighbor back when he lived in Pine Bush, NY and made no effort to return them (if he even still had them and didn't sell them!) when he was moving to Michigan. Here's what the wife of that man had to say about this arrogrant, narcissistic BUM:

The only thing that is quite obvious is that he refuses to get a job. In the past when I did have conversations with Troy it didn't take me long to realize that he had a very noticeable arrogance about him regarding employment. As I was interrupted at work by him many times he would tell me how foolish it was to work like a slave for someone else and he was self sufficient and was never going to work for anyone. This left me with the impression that he felt he was above me and for some reason smarter than me. At this point I realized that I didn't want any association with him.”

Just watched his sit down update which is, all he seems to do these days but anyways these things will never happen, they never do.
He dreams of his own server but has no content to upload to it, being a Narcissus he thinks everything he does is good or very nice as he calls it.
No one wants to watch the same old failures, listen to the same old whine, disgusting snot sniffing and droning on about his battery voltage and fake weather.
No one wants to watch his ugly Asian wife cooking disgusting filth in a mouse infested kitchen and no one want to see a proven failed bedini motor that is supposed to restore old lead acid battery's no no fker uses any more.
What the low life bum really wants to do is get a job and do something worthwhile in life, contribute something back instead of all take.
Get away from Jackass Acres and that in some fresh air to revitalise his stewed brain.

Just watched todays upload Trog and its just the type of shite that no one wats to watch, its boring, no content.
Proper holmsteaders dont eat dry packet food they eat the fruits of their harvest.

I guess trog is the last person on earth to have experienced MREs. They will keep you alive but nobody in their right mind would eat these unless the situation was dire. I hope he pumps a lot of money into this new idea of being a distributor for crap on the go. But then he and his family would starve if it wasn't for people sending them food.

It seems people question your integrity continuously . Why not silence some of us trolls and produce some form of proof to frequently asked questions . This one would , if proven beyond a reasonable doubt be a tremendous slap in the face to your trolls .

Show us the complete DD214 form from the army . Especially the Discharge information .
Why do you continue to hide this information ?

he claimed he was going to start showing his electric meter to prove he is not using power. He refuses to show last month's electric bill because it would show an all electric trailer sucking up grid power big time. He is a fraud and he can't understand why his channel is bombing. Most subs are just there for the laughs and train wreck.

Troy, still hoping he can get away without working in life, posts yet another video to SteemIt. Does he post a video to his subscribers who paid money to him on Patreon? No. Of course not. That requires actual work. Does he post a new video to YouTube, where he has REAL followers who watch ads and thus make money for him? Hell no. That's too much work. He hasn't posted a video since Monday, claiming the cold from hunting really took a lot out of him...the puss. You see, Troy is lazy. SO LAZY, he can't afford a $3 box of screws. Or the money to fix his car. No, he wouldn't dare get a real job...even part time...to help make the lives of his wife and child easier. Oh hell no. That would require real effort. And if you take a close look at his projects, such as this end table, real effort is not something Troy does. Oh no. Troy does the absolute minimum necessary. He's a real tool.

This was just posted by the wife of the man that helped build Trog’s tiny shack on blocks in NY, the man that lost his ladders.

”Funny, I suspected another couch chat was coming up. It is really getting brutal to watch. The lies just pour from his mouth. and he really thinks his viewers should be in suspense anxiously waiting for his "surprises". The only thing that is quite obvious is that he refuses to get a job. In the past when I did have conversations with Troy it didn't take me long to realize that he had a very noticeable arrogance about him regarding employment. As I was interrupted at work by him many times he would tell me how foolish it was to work like a slave for someone else and he was self sufficient and was never going to work for anyone. This left me with the impression that he felt he was above me and for some reason smarter than me. At this point I realized that I didn't want any association with him.”

@jackhoffman he needs to upload his KILL THE TROLLS , BADGUYS REVEALED AND BLOOD IN THE CAMPER videos all of which YOUTUBE forced him to remove

Thats well said jackhoffmann but the dumb cunt seems to think we are here because he blocked us.
Brand accounts take seconds to create if you wanted to go comment on his channel but do you want to be associated with a load of ass licking goons?
He also thinks we're jealous of Jackass Acre's, a place where you have to wipe your feet when you leave, a place where you have to brush aside the mice shit before you sit down.
A place with fithy contaminated water, a crapper with a taped up flusher to remind you to go outside for a shit in the bushes to save power because he's still fully on the grid.
The sooner hes gone the better, off YouTube off the internet, into a nice fully on the grid prison where they will force him to do a job.

Well this looks official, Ming Ming has had the sense to flee at last.
Looks like my theory of having to pawn or sell the rings to pay the bills is out of the window for now.
All the scamming, all that ebegging and Minging Mellie has got up and run.
Was all for nothing, just another fail.
Thats made my day Babycat, soz Timcat.

How cold is it in the chalet today Mr. Reid?

I see your current accuweather is 25F.

Oooo, that's cold in an uninsulated cottage and trailer.

Did you get firewood cut and split yet?
I recall you ran out of wood two "daily videos" ago.
But, but you keep saying you're a "prepper".

But I'm not jealous as you keep saying.
I had all my firewood cut and split by April 1 this year!

Trog will have plenty of propane in the tanks but he will be packing up shortly for his extended Christmas Vacation at Mommas.
Its a hard life being a YouTube star he needs his rest.
Good job he's still on the grid, no Chris3 this year to keep his shack thawed out.
The cats should be alright if he leaves them plenty of food and water but the chickens will suffer, he has shown many times he doesn't give a fck about them.
If i was Reid i dont think i would be to keen on leaving Jachass Acres unattended over a holiday period when everyone knows he is definitely going to be away.
Not in todays climate in view of what he's done recently.
Only saying.

stove isn't hooked up. He uses the electric heaters that came with the house.

I just saw today's YouTube video of yours. You know, the Sit Down Update one.

So you explain why you've been doing basically nothing for the last three weeks except deer hunting and thinking about the comments.

Didn't you just do this in October?
Promising "nothing will change" and promising new and exciting video content plus monthly drawings for the fools subscribed to Patreon?

And what did you deliver.......NOTHING!.......This is FRAUD!

Then you make excuses that the Patreon is "not worth the extra work" so you are ending it at the end of the year?
Seriously!

Let me jog your memory,
You made 1 exclusive video ALL YEAR.
That's it.
And that one video was intended to invite Blocked people like me,
asking permission to get unblocked and come back to comment on the DIY channel.
Not even a subject for Paying Patreon customers.

Good job Troy Reid.

I'm sure you'll get lots of positive feedback from this, soon.
And you blame YT.

Oh, and thanks for inviting your viewers to Steemit again.
Let's show them how much "fun" you're having.

@watertower ...I think he should go back into his video vault and re-release his infamous 3 part video series on TROLLS ............ BAD GUYS REVEALED , KILL THE TROLLS and BLOOD IN THE CAMPER .......... ALL of which he was forced to remove by YouTube , but are still in his video library . I have copies of these infamous videos somewhere on a CD , I may just find them and load them here myself .

Bring them on, we will get some popcorn in and watch them.
Let's have a party!

actually there are 8 of those videos to which i have copies of 7... troy only removed them by google demand after several complaints were filed against them with google and PA state police.

flagged by @thediyworld for telling the truth. guess the truth hurts... troy reid of @thediyworld abusing the flagging system as per usual! soon he will be shown just what the big dawgs here think about his negativity... to bad for troy reid apparently he does not realize him abusively flagging me does not do anything to me.

If trog really killed any deer he would show the packaged meat in the freezer. Nope, the deer outsmarted him once again. Bambi is safe with this idiot roaming the woods. Its the wasps that will kill trog. Off grid my butt.

@troyreidlies, Reid said he's been "hunting heavily" for the last three weeks.

I call bullshit.

We will figure it out soon. We usually do.

Maybe an old buck had a heart attack laughing at the Reid estate and dropped dead next to the freezer in the garage. So Ming Ping just hoisted it up into the freezer and now trog is taking credit for it, even though his scope got wet.

@thediyworld, I saw today's DIY of LIES video. I read in the comments from DORK how he has his panties in a bundle assuming Doc is going to sell those overpriced food kits too.

Did he lose his password to Steemit?

What about your other viewers you invited here?
It seems like you're missing 103,000 people here.

Those are nothing but MREs served to victims of disasters and our soldiers. Barely edible and not something you would feed your family on purpose.

@watertower what over priced food kits am i supposedly selling? i think dork has gone full retard as usual.

@fixedbydoc, Why would Troy Reid need to delete this comment from Doc?

I don't recall watching this episode myself, so I did here.
Take note how Reid from the beginning, is whining and complaining and justifying how he "works hard for 3 hours" working on videos and his articles.

That's it? Only 3 hours?

Then cuts up crap lumber to make a crap table so he can keep all his crap next to the couch and sit all day on his computer.

Some homesteader he is.....not.

Would you want that piece of junk in your house, you would never get rid of the smell of cat and mouse piss!

@someonesprincess, Nope. I make my stuff out of red oak cut and milled from my off grid property.

I like to keep my wife happy with quality craftsmanship.

trog's idea of quality was the "spa like " bathroom in dumpsite 1.0, he has never done anything of quality or even barely good enough. He only makes crap out of trash

I think the trailer and shack already stink of cat urine and shit. With all those cats the cat hair flying makes for great cooking videos with Ming Ling cooking with mouse shit on the stove and counters

@troyreidlies, I recall Reid say this summer that both the trailer and chalet are "heavily infested" with mice.

That's why he claims he got two more cats as a remedy.

But yet he continued the cooking shows including his mommy making salsa and ketchup for him in the trailer.

Troy was too busy to help her with being "self sufficient".
The computer was more important.

He has always lived with mice and roaches so he has to act surprised that they are in the trailer. Anyone else would make sure that old trailer was sealed so they couldn't get in but that would take time away from trog surfing the net for men and boys

@thediyworld ............... KILL THE TROLLS , BAD GUYS REVEALED AND BLOOD IN THE CAMPER .........soon to be released again to the public here .

Her comes the reincarnation of Yeznet in the form of a video platform. Who said the entrepreneurial spirit was dead!!

Whose fartbox will you be tongue punching this Wednesday night? With the wife and baby gone your perversions can run amuck. Enjoy yourself for they will return in 5 months and your 'happy life' will be no more. Yum pouch provisions!
