Console table

Daniel and I did a couple woodworking projects a week or so ago.  He decided I finally had a cool hobby that maybe he would take up too.  It is kinda fun to go out in the garage after the kids go to bed and we just get to work together.  Better than sitting in front of the tv all night.  So we made this console table one night to go against this wall.  Then on Monday on his day off we made us a very heavy, sturdy work bench.  I call it a work island because it turned out way bigger than I expected, but it is really nice to have to work on so we aren't doing everything on the floor bent over.  I also got a couple new tools for Valentine's Day.  I got a Kreg Jig that we built the whole work bench with, a stand to put my miter saw on (you can kinda see it on the side in the picture), and a new router.  I guess it pays to have my husband pick up the same hobby cuz then we can spend twice as much on tools :)


This is the Evans shrine in our front entry :)

You guys are so crafty. The console looks good and Clint is jealous that you got a kreg jig.
