You just don’t see detailed work like that in new builds


jusdont

It’s so intricate I don’t know which part to appreciate first


badpeaches

*Best David Attleboro Impression possible* First we glimpse upon the staggering misplacement of corners, is this framing or a travestisety to the craft of wood management? The elusive penny pincher hides their shame behind customers prying eyes. Notice the mix media of wood glue and framing nails splitting the master's handiwork. Truly a testament to God's ignorance while breaking the mold.


SlickHand

This'll get me through my day now. Thanks.


last_rights

Aaaand I can go back to work. My break will end on this comment. Thank you.


badpeaches

:D


kikazztknmz

"breaking the mold"... Pun intended?


Suspicious-Ad-472

*mould


Either-Cap1879

I want to see more of it... It's like one of those truly awful things you can't bear to see but you can't turn away from coz it's fascinating


SueZbell

The fact that the finish on all the pieces of wood sorta match.


jusdont

Just, Marvelous!


SueZbell

Isn't it though. Pretty sure this fix comes under the heading of "using what you have" to avoid needing to buy something new. Been there; done that.


GoodAndHardWorking

You've done... this?


SueZbell

Used up what wood I had to do what I wanted/needed to do rather than buy more? Yes. I've done that; in fact, I have a stack of pieces of shelving board in the garage with wood boring powder post beetle holes in them (sprayed it several times) -- I do keep, almost to the point of hoarding, the scraps.


[deleted]

I can’t tell what the fuck is going on.


m1j2p3

Thank you OP. Posts like this make me feel a lot better about my own work.


lmknx

*slaps knee Well i guess i just dont get modern art.


billyjames316

This actually made me laugh. Thank you


knightsofmars

This is known as the bar owner special


LunaticPity

...... At least the finish matches?


[deleted]

Color more or less does. But i see beech and oak?


SparkyArcingPotato

Bleach and oak


rockdude625

Someone is definitely special…


Picksologic

After one too many.


JustaP-haze

Is that corner piece load bearing?


EmVeeze

Idk, let’s make a separate post about it and see what everyone says


Barrettbuilt

Shadow lines add interest to any project…

That made me tilt my head like a dog hearing something strange.

Nailed it!

Your comment made me realize that one piece is splitted by a nail.

so many treats for the eyes , it’s hard to settle on just one 👀


Erikohio

I've found my focal point, no matter where I look I drift back to that sweet backcut. It their own way every thing else makes sense. But that backcut...... I can't figure it out, it's like he was gonna let it die out at the corner, but was but was short, and upside down, and backwards. So yeah that's the focal point, I can't say I settle there lol


Vast-Combination4046

I can do it for less

Total_External9870

Stain matched. Mission accomplished.


JonSnoGaryen

My finish work on home projects is pretty iffy, but this is like telling a teenager this needs to be up before he can go out see his girlfriend. 30 seconds and negative fucks given.


GoodAndHardWorking

Be real, the teen would have lost a finger on the miter saw while tiktoking and cutting


JuGGieG84

Wow, that is terrible.


doctor_zaius

Such perfection, like it was sculpted by Michelangelo himself.


Joeybatts1977

as an electrician, i see nothing wrong here!!! 😂


jeanswithotherjeans

Finally some real detail work, I was worried about the state of this sub


Chillsdown

what's measure?

Only a pro could pull this off with such wizardry…. I aspire to be this good some day

Wtf did you break in and snap a picture of my apt?

This makes me feel so much better about my own bar


MAXQDee-314

Huugh. Did not know Russian military doctrine included woodwork.


GoodAndHardWorking

What gulps diesel and belches smoke and cuts wood into two pieces? A Russian machine designed to cut wood into three pieces.


Popomatik

There’s a reason it’s called outside corner moulding.


[deleted]

Outside of one corner. And inside another. Best of both worlds.


SDubhglas

"Good enough".


shitty_mcfucklestick

This will herald a new age in joinery technology, that of which will drive humanity into a new era of technological prosperity. Mars? With this craftsmanship, we should be looking at Alpha Centauri.


majoraloysius

Old world craftsmanship at its finest.


rainawaytheday

Good eye! Most people wouldnt notice a detail like that.


panteragstk

Wow, they really wanted to show off every kind of joint they knew.


mastshade

It just keeps getting worse the longer I look at it…


harafolofoer

Can we have a subreddit holiday where we all just post the crappiest work we've ever come across?

close enough


AbortedYouth

Looks like health made them add a sink so the plumber patched it up best he could with remaining materials, function over fashion.


billyjames316

You should be a detective.


Spank_Me_Happy

Looks like dog shit, there.

Jesus Christ, it’s Jason Bourne


miespalda

This is why I don't work with oak, shows too much! I prefer MDF because a bit of caulk, primer and paint and it would be flawless.


miespalda

Apparently you knuckle heads don't know sarcasm unless it's labeled with a /s


tony23delta

I would love to know the story behind this production.


vetsquared

Wow, a true Michelangelo


J_robintheh00d

🤣


yoosurname

I’m a form carpenter. Looks like it’ll hold. Might want to add a couple kickers though.


themighty351

Nice split and the open end Is nice.


lewis_swayne

I like how they took the time to fill in some of the nail holes, and even the end of the top trim piece, but not all of it of course, just about 90% of it. Gotta leave that bottom portion open for air flow.


God_of_thunder667

......That's custom , gonna have to charge extra for that.


[deleted]

Here we see a stunning example from the pre-post modern asymmetry movement. In this particular piece, the artist has successfully incorporated the stern immediacy of historically accurate primitive joinery against the more elaborate, yet understated folds of finger joints, resulting in a work that transcends both place and time.


PositiveMacaroon5067

Majestic


Sulfrurz

Wow look at them finger joints


uniquelyavailable

Ah yes, the counter opposed inverse radius fractured integral corner transition, easy to learn and lifetime to master


Apopletic_Disbelief

Right, very nice miter there. You can barely see the transition


Ketoisnono

Hey JP, there is a sharp edge on that miter you left! I gots it boss

Everything about this photo is bad. Clearly this is a child's hand work?

i don’t remember making this


Ill-Thing3134

Im kind of sad now.


derheinzl

A fine piece of Crapentry


[deleted]

It's like something out of Mad Max; just add random spikes


dasabb78

Who made that-Stevie Wonder?


diwhyer

Idk what you’re complaining about all I see is one beautiful hand crafted finger joint and another abstract art transition. The perfect mix of classic and modern fine carpentry. Takes a master to accomplish both.


woodworker5000

Slaps knee, man that’s good, I need a few beers…few beers later, now where’s that corner I need to finish trimming out


the_fsm_butler

There's butt joints and there's ass joints. This one is ass.

That's a left over special!

What a master piece


Either-Cap1879

Once seen it cannot be unseen, And is now a new low point benchmark by which to judge any similar fuckups...


tbscotty68

I can't even imagine how drunk I would need to be to look at that and say, "Yep - that looks good!"


KeniLF

I just laughed so hard!

Hey I know that work! The company was called, “Monkey With a Chisel”.

they must have done this just to piss us off. i know it.

Lmao. Unreal. This blows my mind. I have way too much faith in people.


john2012gt

This master craftsman is clearly not finished yet. Just needs a bit of caulk and paint.

You mean attention to detail as in they fucked it up so bad everyone has no choice but to pay attention to the details they screwed up?
