    Phew... I'm pooped

    Well, after a long day, here are the fruits of my labor today.

    This cabinet goes in the laundry room. It's ready for primer and paint. No back and no doors this time - just functional storage. MDF and pine face frame. 48" tall, 32" wide. 12" deep.

    This "thing" goes in my son's closet. It too is ready for primer and paint. He'll keep his shoes on the bottom and more of his junk on the upper shelves. It fit's a tight spot, thus the funky looking "lid" on it. 80" tall, 19½" wide and 12" deep.

    Plus, I installed some mega-shelves in another closet that I made yesterday. That's it. I'm pooped. And, the wife is happy: the cobbler's kids got shoes today.

    Todd.

    Hi Todd, This is my first post here at the sawmill. Nice job on some very functional furniture. Now if I can figure out what all these different buttons and tags are, I could make these messages a work of art. I think I'll keep the postings simple for now.
    Take care,
    John

    Hi Ken, I checked out the tips and they were helpful. I even figured out how to change the color on this one. And add the smiley face. Once I figure out how to get a picture added...watch out!
    Take care,
    John

    This is item 4 in from the other tips portion:

    4. When using the "Attach File" feature to insert a picture from your computer, preview your text message first and then browse your computer and enter the desired picture. Do Not use "preview" after entering the picture information or it will delete that info and will not include the picture in your post.

    Thumbs up Hey Todd

    Looks like you had a busy day yesterday. Looks good, even for MDF and pine. Bet you spent some time wearing a dust mask yesterday.

    Hi Todd

    Looks like you were busy! But most important, the wife is happy and the kids got shoes! We are lucky to live in a place where we can provide for our own. Then add to that the ability to spend some time in the shop! Blessed we are!

    Thumbs up

    It's not always the fancy pieces of work that get you the points. It's also the functional ones. Good job, I'm sure this piece will help with the organization in the laundry. We could use some of that in our house.

    Nice work on the storage shelves. It's good when you can make the wife happy by doing something you enjoy. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us.

    Todd -

    Good work. It is that kind of "comfort" work (sort of like "comfort" food) that one gets done now and then that makes you feel good inside.

    Well done,
    Ted

    John -

    Good to see you! Figured you would be kind of busy right about now.

    Good work

    Functional furniture takes nearly as much time to figure out as fine cabinet work.
