Rough & Tumble Woodshop

As you may have noticed, I haven’t built anything in a little while. I’ve decided to take a break from woodworking until further notice.

Well, it’s finally done and delivered. It was my first attempt at converting a headboard and footboard into a bench, but I think it turned out right nice. And the person I made it for loved it, which is always the most important part. ✌️🤟

Well, this one is coming right along. Next step is to put the seat on it. Once I’m finished, it’ll be a bench made of a headboard and footboard. I still need to decide on how to install a drawer underneath the seat. But I’ll climb that mountain when I come to it. 😆

So there’s this cabinet in a room at work that’s in absolutely terrible condition. So I offered to make a replacement. I’m actually going to salvage the doors off the old one. Because that’s about the only thing that wasn’t bombed out. But this is what I came up with…

I finally stopped being lazy, and did a little prep work on my next project. What is it? I’ll keep you guys posted...

So I got a new computer (MacBook Air). And I thought I didn’t need my old behemoth of a computer desk. So I threw together this one real quick. Did I need to use 4x4 fence posts for legs? I think you know the answer to that question.

So, I liked the other two I made so much, I made one for my living room. I botched one of the legs, but I’m likely going to be the only one irritated by it. So that brings me to my next point, who wants my old coffee table? I’ll give you a good price on it.

Any day is a good day to have wood in your hand.

It could be possible that I’ve perfected the art of staining wood. 🤔🤔🤔

In the third episode of Rough & Tumble's woodworking tips, Jud shows off his super secret way of staining wood!!

So it’s become very obvious to me that if I want to expand the capabilities of the R&T Woodshop, I’ll need to expand my equipment. That said, sometime in the near future, I’ll be investing in a table saw. I know, you’re saying: “Jud, how have you been doing all this without a table saw?” Much like life, there’s a lot of luck involved. And apparently I’m good with my hands. Who knew? 😄

Since we all love good woodworking advice, here’s a second episode where I play instructor. 😄

In this episode Jud reveals how monks screw wood together.

What am I thankful for today? Getting this coffee table finished! And I’m thankful it works! 🤣🤣 I’m also thankful for many other things, but I thought I’d drop this post in to show that this table is done, and it clearly supports a cup of coffee. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
