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.

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.
