Oh my gosh, it actually stands up!
I really enjoy working with my hands and building things but as my wife reminds me, straight lines aren't my friend. However, I managed too build a toy bin for the kids this winter and it came out pretty well, not counting a couple things that were fixed with putty and sandpaper.
This time I decided to better myself. I wanted to build a console table. So here it is. I still need to affix the shelves properly and stain it, but other than that, it's done. I used 3/4" red oak plywood. Everything us (or will be) affixed with pocket holes via the ever handy Kreg jig and some wood glue.
The shelves are 8" tall to hold DVDs. The top shelf is smaller, 4.5" or some such. I don't remember. The shelves are 37" long and 7" deep. The table top is 10 deep and 42.5" wide. It used just over half of a 4x8 sheet of plywood. If I had shrunk it a couple inches in height and width I probably could have gotten two out of it. Maybe if I had planned it all out other than in my head...
