So it was all built up but no top and you cut it? Do you have a huge table saw that you ran it through? Or what did you do to get the cuts straight?
Originally posted by Moliere View PostJust finished a credenza to match the built ins. Used real walnut for the top. When I originally put the top on it I realized I had made the top rail of the face frame too thick since there was a big gap between the top of the drawers and the walnut top. I took it back out to the garage and cutoff about a half inch to make it look better. Next up is a walnut desk and then the study is done.

The project ended up pretty much as I wanted it. It matches the built ins perfectly. The biggest challenge was putting the divider above the long bottom drawer so I could have two smaller drawers. I do think that if I did it again I'd add a little more curve to it, maybe a very slight curve on the bottom to make it less contemporary."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

However, listened to a lot of podcasts while I sanded, so win a there."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

I’ve had most of the week off, which is bad news for my spending habits. I spent two full days turning the space above my garage into attic storage space. I’ve wanted to do this for a while but hadn’t ever had the time when the weather is right, until now.
Spent half a day framing out the space for the attic ladder and then installing it, which went swimmingly well.
Then I spent the rest of the first day rewiring a bunch of stuff to make it possible to lay down insulation (I’m eventually planning on climate controlling the garage) and a subfloor for storage. Lastly I installed a permanent light fixture.
The second was spent cutting, hauling and screwing down the subfloor. This part sucked and I’m glad it’s mostly over. I still want to build some shelving but that will wait. I also want to build a ladder to the upper attic, which you can get to right now if you can jump 9 feet.

I also built some floating shelves for the game room so the kids can store their LEGO creations off the floor. This was much easier to do than I expected. It didn’t cost anything since I had the materials already left over from other projects.

I always get to the end of the project and realize I didn’t take any photos of the process"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

And when taking that last photo I realized that I forgot to take off the black tape that sealed up the epoxy drips when filling all the voids.
