When I was in High School Shop Class (class of ’80), I made a table (approx 30″ square) that I still have in my living room today. The top is various sized squares and rectangles all pieced on top of plywood. The pieces are walnut, oak, maple, and probably some other species of wood scraps that were available in the shop. It’s got a 4″ tall x 5/8″ mitered edge around it. The top was all sanded smooth and some oil based finish applied. The legs are installed across the miter with a corner bracket for support. It’s a decent piece that I’ll keep with me until my kids get it.

Brilliant! When you wrap up the German’s dining table, let’s see some heirloom-quality retro movie props! A three-part series on carving featuring a replica of the crazy snake necklace from The Neverending Story? Like it! Special guest Follansbee dressed as Falcor the luck dragon? Life changing!

I wish I had pictures of my first woodworking project. It was an awesome Proton Pack built from scraps in my dad’s workshop for my Ghostbusters Halloween costume.

I keep waiting for someone to say how brave we are to post our first project photos. )
