Hey guys, new to SMC. Have enjoyed reading everything so far, and quickly realize i know very little about working wood. Anyway, I have built a few things, Farmhouse table, stand up linen cabinet (both for friends) and I'm currently working on a bed for my wife and I. The more I learn about wood working, the more of a perfectionist I become, and the more I change up the original design I had planned, hahaha. I keep running into small road blocks, but I enjoy finding ways to overcome them. The only complaint I have is that we don't have a single hardwood dealer in Mobile, AL where I live, which is ridiculous because of the amount of hardwood that comes in and out of the Port of Mobile. Plenty of hardwood distributors, but no one that sells to the public. Had to go to Lafayette, LA to buy a piece of 8/4 red oak 10"x14' and rip it down and laminate it together to make the legs. Anyway I included a few pictures of what I have done so far. Pretty happy with my first attempt at stop chamfers with lambs tongues on the legs.
As you can see im very limited on workspace in my small rental home. Built this bench with moving in mind. Built a nice top with a cheap base, so that when I move to go to Nurse Anesthesia school in July, I can take the top with me and it can be stored easily if I am forced to live in a place that doesn't have room for my entire bench.
