Joe Builds a Desk!
-->
Here’s a question for you: What do you get when you mix power tools, a suburban garage, and some generally boring weekends?
Answer: barely-functional homemade furniture!
And so it was that about a year ago, I became an amateur carpenter. I’ve made some really terrible projects, like the bookshelf that had downhill-slanting shelves. But recently, after a year of tinkering, I’ve finally started to get the hang of it.
I built a solid-oak desk that actually works, and actually looks ok. (At least, I think so. If you have a different opinion, you can keep it to yourself, thank you.)

I’m soliciting ideas for my next project. If you have any thoughts, let me know.
