Really liking his stuff! surprised mags aren't covering it in their "retired pros doing other shit" sections.

to be fair, he never had a pro board. but his woodworking is very nice.

Did Pops stop wood working? I remember his little benches selling for a couple hundred bucks each but thats about it.

I kind of wish  Pluhowski never retired , really liked his style and trick selection . Was a good time for him and Habitat

Kinda stoked how he walked away though , he decided it was over and just left it , no instagram clips ( I know it wasnt around then )or trying to go to other " lesser companies until he kooks himself out "   

Hope he is doing good , seems like a nice guy who focuses on his family .

Wow it's all really really nice

[4wheels]

he definitely kills it. and pops doesnt do any woodworking anymore im pretty sure. he only did that for a couple years when he had the money

Pops on Pluhowski furniture, confirmed.

[Durndle]

that desk is rad
now I'm not the biggest antiques roadshow aficionado but were pops' benches ever meant to be used for anything or are they something a girl named Epiphany would buy for her flat?

Pluhowski definitely has skills.  I've been following his blog for a few years and he's built some really awesome high end furniture.

[max power]

he's doing shit that is actually worth recognition.

actually just did a report on his stuff recently for an architecture class. His craftsmanship is amazing. He uses practically no securing elements like screws or glue to hold the pieces together but instead hand-shapes the joints so that they fit together seamlessly. I was really impressed with the work on his instagram account.

He got one of the best 360-flips out there.

No need to start a discussion about this, that's just my opinion.

Cons sent some of them certain accounts, but i heard he didn't use the correct glue so a lot of them fell apart in shipping.

Pluhowski skating really influenced me growing up espeially Mosaci. Would like to buy something nice for the house from him. Has any one contacted about price. I bet its a bitch to ship most of those pieces.

Is this a metaphor?

As a Cabinetmaking student I feel I should be part of this discussion.  Although, I've only been at it for a couple months, and worry that when school ends in April I'll still be pretty useless to woodworking employers.  My teacher expects you to remember all the tricks and plans in your head pretty much, there's no step by step instruction sheets like one paying to learn a new skill would expect.

Rob's work really is gorgeous.  Though, even if his dovetails and mortise & tenons fit perfectly, not using any glue/screws/plugs to strengthen the joints seems strange.  They're what holds the piece together when the air moisture content changes and makes the wood expand/contract.  

For the most part I've just built random stuff so far, a guitar stand, bandsaw boxes, a sawhorse, wooden puzzles, etc.  I remember in the Jobs thread some other poster gave me a little advice about working in the field, but if any of you have experience in cabinet/furniture work I'd love to get more insight.

He makes boutique furniture, its several thousand dollars per piece. That desk is easily five grand.

[macgruber]

wonder how hard it would be to mount something like this to a wall



Seems easy enough to make something similar yourself aside from routing the mounting or whatever

[Tony Rave]

That desk is sick !

[Coastal Fever]

Yeah the desk is pretty slick, but the slip matching on the front face of that grey dresser is something else.

Nice stuff. It's a bummer that nice and timeless furniture can be quite pricey.

[tangar]

been following him for a while on insta and totally agree that his stuff is really rad. his skating always was too. if i win the lotto, ill cop some pieces fo sho doe.

Elegant and light footed, yet also solid with a wide stance.

It really is. I would love to afford some furniture pieces but I am afraid to even get into this type of stuff as it just gets expensive. Even Pepper's lamps are up to a grand. Must be cool to know how to make all that.
