Workbench

So, I worked for a while to get the bottom shelf on the table, which stabilizes the table as well as provides a place to put bins and wood, etc.  As I was cutting, I realized I missed on important tool...

So I improvise. I remove the guard for the circular saw and pretend it is the right tool for the job. Luckly, the goggles stop all the shards of wood from cutting out my eyes. Did I mention they are H's Girl Genius goggles?  Once it is all cut, I try and shove it in. ::count it::  That's when I find it is exactly 1/8" too big to fit through the legs of the table. I dismantle the side, crying about my perfect squares.

Since it is scrap wood, I find that it is oddly shaped and I need to pull it out (which is not safe) to cut it again. Yay, second try works and I screw it all in.  Some time with the electric sander and it's finished!
