Trip to Saint Louis


Yesturday my Dad and I made the 500 mile roundtrip to Saint Louis to buy some cherry wood.
We got it at the woodshop.(pictured above) http://www.woodnshop.com/default.htm . Boy they sure have some pretty stuff.
I bought: one 4x8 sheet of 3/4 inch cherry plywood,
two 4x8 sheets of 1/4 inch cherry plywood,
three 3/4 inch planks of cherry wood at various Lengths and widths,
and 50 feet of 7/8 cherry veneer for edging.
I'm sure we are going to need more cherry, but this will be enough to get us started. If your ever in Saint Louis be sure to stop by the woodshop. Tell em Emp Axis sent you.

I am Emperor Axis!

Welcome to my blog . I am: Emperor Axis !
I have created this blog because I am about to build (or help my Father build) a new computer desk that I have designed. We will begin sometime in the near future and I will keep you updated on our progress. I will then begin to build a new computer. I am currently using a computer I built about three years ago but I won't go into a great detail about this one, although it is still a powerhouse.
I am wanting to put top dollar in both the desk and computer but will cut corners in places. The desk I plan on being made of cherry wood. I am hoping to start on it in a couple of weeks. Why not sooner? Because we have to figure how much wood we need. This takes a lot of planning...
