6000feet

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.
