IT’S FINALLY FINISHED!
The project my husband and I have been working on for so long! Most of the time consuming part was hand planning all the boards. That took forever!
So here it is in all of its glory!
Just finished a fairly large sized project. It was VERY necessary considering how my original workbench was two sort of wobbly saw horses with a large slab of very thick plywood laying on top. Horrible for hand planning. Haha!
I looked around and decided that a good workbench was in order. After that thought I looked at some binged images of simple workbenches to get an idea of what to do.
Literally one day later I finished this.
Pcs season is coming up. Just 2 short months until we move from Hawaii to the east coast. Am I stressing? Haha, you bet your bottom I am! So much to do! I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that there’s much to be done or the fact that the military won’t let us schedule ANYTHING until 30 days before we leave. You would think they would let you at least have things scheduled and tickets bought 2 months in advance. 😦 Then they tell me I need to relax… Psh!
So aside from the major project that my husband and I are currently finishing (more on that later) I have been doing a couple little projects here an there to use up some of the wood we can’t take with us.
First up is a very awesome door plaque chalkboard style! Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to take a photo of the finished product due to it being a gift to a very awesome couple 🙂 However I did take some how to photos.
This is what the pallet board piece looked like before I fixed it.
My husband and I have started making pallet furniture and saving money in the process 🙂
So far (given we had no tools whatsoever) have plunked down a couple hundred to build up a woodworking shop. It was my mothers day present 😀 Usually I’m all about saving money but all this pays for itself with the money we will be saving from not buying furniture every time I want to change the house or build an amazing loft bed/playhouse for my little girl when she’s older. I’ve been browsing on annawhite.com. While some of those projects I can do with pallet wood, others I won’t. Gotta be realistic in my abilities right now. When I was young my Pap Pap had a little workshop and I remember going in there and helping him. Best memories ever.
Anyways! Pallet furniture!
A few weeks ago we finished our very first ever table. Excuse how rough it looks, like I said, very first table.
