I don’t believe I’ve yet written about the recent award I won for my (lack of) design prowess – probably because I’m mildly ashamed. But only mildly, because it was for a piece I built in 1989, when to me all problems looked like a screw because all I had was a drill. And I won an awesome stuffed bunny, which I keep at my desk.
Yes, I am the not-so-proud winner of the Bridge City Toolworks annual Sh!t Bunny Award. You can read more about it on John Economaki’s blog, and indulge in a bit of woodworking schadenfreude.
p.s. If you do amble over to John’s blog, be sure to also read his entry about Woodworking in America – he’s looking for volunteers.
About the Author: Megan is the managing editor of Popular Woodworking Magazine. She prefers using hand tools because they rarely make loud noises. Unless they fall off the bench.







1. You started a project.
2. You finished the project.
3. You put it to use.
4. You’re still using it for its intended purpose.
I’d call that a successful project.
Yeah? Well you can stick it to him for the tenant/tenet slip-up
I’m curious about the reversed L-brackets at the base …
I think, if I recall correctly – which I may not…it was a long time ago and I’m now too old to get down to the floor to check
– it wouldn’t fit underneath and clear the floor. And for some reason I don’t now remember, I HAD to have the shelf at that location…
I’ll bet the other one doesn’t jump on her bench or shill extra tools.
Looking at your early work – practical and functional
Looking at the joint stool – learning craftsmanship
Looking at the spice box – simply beautiful
You have come a long way!!!!!!!
Can’t wait to follow more of your projects!!!
Now Schwarz can use metal pieces on furniture and call it a campaign
