Here is my most recent attempt at woodworking.... only the table is built out of MDF and I painted it to look like wood  ;D

There hearth in the background is also all faux stone and concrete.

Says don't you see
Gotta' make it somehow

Nice! Can it double down as a torture apparatus?   :)
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

The MDF might swell considerably with any fluids.  [evil]

This is one of the last projects I built before going back to school (it was for a DMF member)  




This was a proto-type I built in school for a computer desk

I always choke when I see the prices of media centers like that. We bought one very similar to what's in the link 10 years ago and I think it was $1,400. I still have it and it's held up very well so I feel it was worth it but that's still a lot of money for what amounts to a shelf with some doors.

Agreed.  But since I'm not that crafty of a basterd, I pay.

This summer I got into making mandolins.  Just about to finish my third one (on the left), right in time for the cold weather when my garage shop becomes unusable.

Man, and I thought my truck was kind of cool. Those are off the charts badass.

Nice job!

Your truck is cool.

Those mandolins are cool as well.
