The hours that were once spent partying till wee hours of the morning on weekends have of course been replaced with waking up at wee hours of the weekends ever since you-know-who showed up. This has required us to reframe our weekend activities and Erik's focus has landed upon woodworking.
One of his projects the last several weekends was building a set of drawers and work surface to supplement the workshop bench he built. The idea being that he could get some practice in with things like dovetailing, routing, planing, joining, etc on a garage piece before tackling something for the home.
And heeeeere it is! He ended up using a leftover stain we had so it looks a little fancier than what you would expect for some junk drawers in a garage:
Kudos to E for another project well done and lessons learned along the way. This is a helpful hubby hobby that will come in handy (yay, alliteration!). For example, we need some bedside tables and Erik asked me to find ones online I like that he can replicate. It's liking shopping from the garage! And I'd say that it's nice that it's cheaper than store purchases, but the initial buy-in for tools will take a liiiiiitle while to see an ROI. But it's all good; Erik has assured me this will be his "thing" for the next 30 years.
Oh, and in case you're wondering: I did help. Like, helloooo, I helped hold the
rails in place for a couple minutes one time so Erik could put some glue on them...? Oh yeah, I helped. *Brushing shoulders off*
