Last weekend Randy and I did a little garage project. This is the 3rd woodworking weekend in a row for me, if you include the shelves weekend and the week in-between when I helped with the roof.
Randy needed to complete a woodworking project for his cub scout project, so rather than making a birdhouse Karen and I thought he could help me build a workbench in the garage. He went with me to Home Depot and was a real trooper, helping me pick out all the materials. This was a bit difficult with all the post-Ike home repair projects in full flight and supplies low.
I decided to use t
he old 4x4 legs from the beds I had made for Tyler and Randy - when I had split their bunk beds to make loft beds. The 4x4 lengths made excellent bench legs. Randy got a little bored with the project but came out and started driving nails. After that, I pretty much could not get rid of him. He loves that hammer! And he's very good at it.We put up a bench with a "step" or "seat" on one side that I thought the kids could use to help with projects, or I could just sit things on it. We also put up peg board and hung some tools from it.
Great job, Randy!!
