So... long story short, my house was broken into recently and it sidetracked some of my projects. The good news is I tracked the thieves down and they were arrested. Once that ordeal was behind me I finally completed two of projects on my list.
Here is the end table I built to match the coffee table I posted previously:
I think it turned out great. It has the same removable top as the coffee table.
Next is a gift for my brother in law. I watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jukgeFwaQ2M and decided my BIL needed one for his new deck:
It has no finish on it in case my BIL wants to match whatever stain he uses on the deck. What is not pictured here is a nice Starr X bottle opener mounted to the right leg. It was an old opener his dad used to own that has been a drawer at my mother in laws house. I think it adds a nice sentimental touch. Also, I embedded a magnet on the back side of the leg so it will catch the bottle caps as they fall. I am really happy with how it turned out.
I think I made a good 50% less mistakes on these projects compared to others. I just may be learning something.
