This update is long overdue, but I wanted to talk about the workbench that we finished building. We actually finished it in March of 2017 – almost a year ago! Since then I’ve done a few other projects, and have really been getting into woodwork. I have a long way to go and I wouldn’t say I’m a pro, but I’ve been happy with the result and the journey of making things has been a lot of fun. I’ll write about the other projects I’ve done in the next couple of days (serious).
Currently I’m thinking of a new project, which has been inspired by my kids (twin 2-year olds) who keep getting into our bed stand drawers, pulling everything out and even breaking things such as my phone charger. This new bed stand idea I have will have a special way to open the drawer that only adults should be able to figure out, and I also want to incorporate an embedded wireless phone charger so I don’t have to bother plugging in my phone at night.
I don’t have any drawings of that yet, but here are the photos from the workbench build back in March 2017…
Just some “how it’s made” looks 
Wife helping out – couldn’t have made this without her 
Putting on the shelf 
All clean – with some new tools to start using with it! 
Like all true workbenches, this one didn’t take long to become a glorified storage shelf, but we STILL use it to make projects!
Next up, the Kitchen table… I’ll write about that in another post.
