I must try to remember your situation whenever I'm tempted to whinge about mine.

I volunteered that information, because I can totally relate to your situation. And I am truly sorry that you have had to deal with health issues. But I have read some of your post, I wish I knew as much about science and math as you do. You still have tools they are just different then mine. :smile:

edit: Those tools of knowledge, are a great thing to have, the wonderful thing about them, is you never have to worry about lending them out and not getting them returned, you always get a return on that.

Man, all you have to do is throw on a pair of eyeglasses, an atomic alarm clock, a stack of books, and a handful of amigurumi and that table is just asking to by my bedside :smile::smile:

Thanks. By the way, if you are interested in wood of various kinds, you might like to check out my site: http://www.hobbithouseinc.com/personal/woodpics/

I visited your site and bookmarked it, for when I'm back to shopping for home furnishings.

It's very interesting how you achieve variety by using different kinds of wood, taking advantage of natural patterns. I like all the pieces in the above photos.

I forgot about this thread. I got some old kitchen cabinets for free, cleaned them up and installed them in my garage last week. Had to replace a board or two because there were holes cut into it for a fan. I installed the four-plug GFCI electrical outlets and painted the walls a few weeks ago.

Here's the finished product. I haven't done much cabinet work before but I'm pretty happy with the results.
