After a year or two of projects, I had a fair amount of scrap wood sitting in the corner of my shop. So, I figured it was a good time to use it up while I was in between other larger projects. I used some on a cutting board, but the rest was slated for picture frames.

The Plan
We have a corner in our living room where two couches meet and there is just a large empty space. So, we decided to make a table to fill that spot. The table would be about the same height as the couch arm rests and it would be nice to have a place to plug our electronics in for charging.

Pen and Pencil Holders
I had a little time on Sunday afternoon to work on a little project for my wife. The project is a small wooden “box” that holds a couple of mason jars. The mason jars hold pens and pencils. So, think of it as a container for a container. Continue reading Pen and Pencil Holders
Sofa Armrest Table
I saw a pretty clever idea while perusing the internet and I figured I would give it a shot. The idea is to create a small wooden “upside down U” that fits over the armrest of your couch or chair. That way you can set stuff on it (like beer). Continue reading Sofa Armrest Table
