Building tables is not everyone's favorite project, but with the vast array of bolt-on legs, table making has reached a whole new level of accessibility. For me, this is the first time I am using some steel "hairpin" legs and yes, there is a bit of a learning curve to these.

Before I get too far ahead of myself, I need to create the table top because I need something for the legs to attach to. A bistro table is a perfect starter and the one am making will be a "knock down" version, which means I can take it apart for easy storage during the winter months when I would not get use and would be subjected to harsh winter weather.

I keep telling myself I will get around to doing everything, I just need a bit more time, so the last several days I was able cross another item of my list of things to makes ... but this one was special, and experiment of sorts.
Nautical Vibes: Crafting a Hard Chined Entryway Table
I have become more interested in furniture that has a "bit of life to it" as one of my friends described, by that he meant using different species of wood, and colors to make the furniture more interesting. As he described, he was tired of seeing "mono color monoliths" and I had to agree with him, so time for me to step and try some new ideas.

For years we tried a number of combinations involving kitchen composting bins, trash cans and recycling bins and all seemed awkward to use. One day I decided an Under Kitchen Sink combination bin might be the answer. After building version one, we knew within hours this was easily the best solution, the next step would be motivating Colin to build version 2 with a few small upgrades ...

I really hate it when I make woodworking mistakes because I waste time fixing something that is my own fault. Sometimes it's from rushing though a task other times I can just plain mixed up with what I am doing so even making a mistake once or twice prompts me to try and come up with a solution so maybe I can prevent it in the future ...
Stop Making Joinery Mistakes, Make This Planning Jig
Making tables, regardless of the joiner is one of those times where you have similar looking items but that all fit in different areas and sometimes need to fit in a special way to sometimes take a away from defects in the wood, and always try to show it's best side.

I'm not sure if a Stool is actually a "Tool" but for this exercise I am making it so. For a few years now I have been using an old Bar Stool in my workshop beside my laptop computer. I use the stool enough for zoom meeting and just Internet browsing for information that it has become a mainstay in my workshop.
Transform Your Workshop: DIY Sit & Step Stool Build
One of the features of this old stool is that it has some lower rungs that I sometimes try to stand on to reach things high up in my shop, like changing light bulbs or other audio wires or adjustments but never put full weight on the rungs as I don't trust them. What I need is a stool that can double as a small stepping stool as well ...

As a woodworker for a long, long time, I have a pretty good idea how long it should take to make most woodworking projects, at least within a certain time frame. Occasionally I am completely and utterly wrong!! and this plant stand was one of those harsh realities.
My Stupid Little Plant Stand Took 3 Jigs and 3 Days to Complete
I happen to grow Orchids and have for a long time, I don't have many and they don't always get the care they need and they let me know that by NOT producing flowers. Three 4 of my collection are letting me know that, so I decided to make a quick little plant stand for them that I could put beside patio doors with lots of light for them. That was my first miscalculation ...
