Nice! Is that glued? Do you have a band saw? I really want a bandsaw.

Since you've started the #craftthread, I'll share my weekend projects:

A boot tray thing. My wife wanted muddy shoes off the floor. It's a scrap of bowling-alley floor with some roughcut maple scrap trim.

A new wooden door mat. Our old wooden one disintegrated as I kept adding screws to buy time. I've been looking for a large and heavy replacement for about a year. Yesterday, I used a bunch of pressure-treated scrap I had to make one:

I know katakowsj has a woodwork project he can share...

It's all screwed. I had visions of making it all tab/slot, but lacked the time/materials/tools to make that precision this weekend. Maybe 2.0 later.

no bandsaw (yet). I think someone already beat me to this idea, but I think it would be amazing to have a woodshop I could pay for a membership to use... or just have drop in rates. I'm no carpenter, and not even much of a weekend warrior. But there are LOTS of projects I would love to do, and having access to the right tools would make much easier.
