Unknown Dog

A stool for Gabe.

Built from plywood scraps and glue, with a few brads to hold the legs in place while the glue set. Getting the bevel cut for the 15° legs drove me nuts for a while. I finally broke down and looked it up in compound angle table.

Glue up complete. Size 3 soccer ball in the picture to get an idea of how big it is.

Primed and …

Painted! Paint was Rust-Oleum Wildflower blue. In a spray can. I was surprised at how easy it was to get a nice finish from a spray can. Used the same brand of spray primer underneath. Painter’s Touch, I’m a fan.

Sturdy workbench built on the cheap:

• Laminated 2×4’s construction for the legs
• Through tenons on legs and stretchers
• Large oak dowels pinning the tenons came from an old broom handle
• Heavy-as-lead top is a solid core door rescued from a dumpster thanks to a hot tip from Lady Colglazier.
• All solid wood construction not including lag bolts connecting the frame to the top.

Gabe has hit the big 4.0 and is doing all kinds of 4 year-old stuff:

First day of pre-K. This was the only picture the jaded scholar would allow to be taken.
