Building some furniture....





My Rookie Bro and I moved into a dry cabin over by the University. We have lived on the Army base for a couple years and it was about time to cut away and have a life beyond the base and work. We moved into a cabin about 300 sq ft and unfurnished; great except that a less than ideal piece of used furniture costs a small fortune. I decided to build a few things we needed. I figure it is the least I can do after the six months at the boat shop. With more confidence than before I delved into some projects and had a great time. I am happy to report that they have come out far better than the sad excuse for some drawers that I took part in building when in Homer visiting Rachel (though I hear they are operational, after Ben took the reins). At any rate, it felt great to work with wood and build something that will be used for the season up here. Here is some shots of the table and a book shelf that I whipped up.
