Hi everyone, not able to get out much like I used to and make things. I started this project a few weeks ago after getting upset with out new Mayer and a remark she made calling the Betsy Ross flag racist and saying she was going to ban it from our town. But never the less, I had fun making it. I made it from pine 1×4s ripped on the table saw to 1 3/4. It will be bolted to the front of the house facing the road.

I finally built an all in one workbench to keep all my woodworking tools on. I still have a few things left to do on it. Need to add some trim on the top and add some t-track on the top. Sorry for the mess. Its still being organized while building a few projects.

This was my first attempt to build “nice” furniture suitable for a living room. My daughter asked me to make her a pair of nested end tables. All I had for a design was a picture she downloaded off of the internet. I wanted to use some oak I had on hand that was rough cut at 1” thick and 8” wide. I milled it to about 3/4” thick and 7” wide. Then I doubled it up to get the desired thickness and joined 3 boards abreast to get the dimensions I needed. As a result each side and top consisted of 6 boards. I cut a mitered butt joint to bring all the pieces together. X 4. I finished with a stain and polyurethane to protect the wood from her young children. The result were 2 beautiful sets of nested end tables.

Some tools just can’t handle the workload. Maybe it was that bargain sander that lasted one weekend, or a drill that gave up mid-project.
