WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BUILD A TABLE footboard console table
When George got home from work he couldnt find my latest project.
I finished this console table and it looks and feels strickingly similar to one I did already.

I see what he means.
There are four main elements that I used to make this new table with.
The first are the legs, which came from a set of bed posts.

The end caps you may recall from another recent project.

The reclaimed surface used to be part of this desk below.

And finally the drawer front from a turn of the century dresser I
already redid many years ago for my nephews change table.
CAUTION:
the next photo could cause a dramatic reaction
Yes, this is my nephew and the giraffe was painted by my talented sister,
I have to admit Im not the only one in the family with an attention to detail.

Build It Yourself A Beautiful Garden Shed
Do you have loads of gardening equipment and tools? Do you need a house so that you can protect all of them? What about the street bikes and possibly Holiday decorations? Do you really need a place in order to secure them as well?
You could construct a shed that will protect all those important things on the inside. Building your own personal storage shed is often an economical alternative. It is cheaper plus much more attractive than a bought garden storage shed, and your yard or garden will certainly benefit considerably by your customized shed’s appearance. You will not need to turn into an absolute specialist at carpentry. There is lots of assistance on the net, and also creating a wood shed is a fantastic first undertaking for new novice carpenters. Done correctly, it is really a fun challenge, constructing your own private outdoor shed.
A nearby supply store most likely offers pre-built outdoor storage sheds that you can examine. You will find “tuff shed” or “Rubbermaid storage shed” plastic-type garden sheds. The vinyl storage sheds are yet another thing people buy for practicality. Yet let us consider wood outdoor garden sheds. So let’s begin on the advantages and disadvantages of building a shed versus buying a garden shed package.
Let us start out with the pros. Building your own personal wood storage shed generally is an interesting project. Purchase your blueprints, purchase your lumber, spot your location, invite a pal or perhaps a few over, and begin assembling your shed. It could take a few weekends to accomplish, so you will smart to entertain your mates having pizzas, beverages, or whatever bribes your pals are into. Most of this time, you’ll need a special effort to get your own garden shed crafted. It truly is a superb time to come together along with your close friends and to prove to them which you just value their assistance. You may really build up several long-term relationships from this undertaking; keep in mind experiencing a great undertaking with someone else may be a strengthening adventure.
By building your very own garden storage shed, you can easily choose between 1000′s of variations, which can be found on-line. You will be able to construct a shed that definitely fits the needs you have for space, for the best looks, as well as accessibility. You can place your garden shed anywhere it may easily fit in your yard or garden, and you may undertake such things as run electricity to it and drinking water if you would like. That opens up uses for your own wooden garden shed nicely beyond storage space. It can be that handy room you have been seeking. You already know that at times you must working on your equipment. Tune-ups, adjusting rotor blades, sharpening your own chainsaw… with electric power, you may also connect your television set and check out some games from a lawn chair whilst enjoying the perfect beverage. The idea appears attractive to me personally; it is possible that it will for you. In addition, come on; are you interested in those plastic backyard storage sheds? Your garden storage shed may well be more attractive and the one you finally choose which matches your own personal requirements.
You will save money over purchasing a ready-made shed. Perhaps you may ride by your building store, to see a few competitive prices for yard outdoor storage sheds. However, realize the actual list price does not normally include the flooring structure, shelves, coloring, electrical power, water, or shipping and delivery as well as set up on your site. You can make a few customization options, however these require more money. It certainly is going to be less costly to build your own personal storage shed, and you have that great feeling of achievement. With your own individual customizations, your own outdoor storage shed plan can incorporate anything you like.
Now with regard to the cons, it can be a good amount of labor, putting together your own private shed. It does make it necessary that some blueprints be produced or purchased. It will call for a little knowledge of carpentry equipment.
But there is all the connecting together with your pals, the cookouts, the sporting events get-together, the bonfire of left-over lumber scraps, and also the rewarding that you obtain. It’s really a challenge to reflect upon. You’ll likely save big money by constructing it on your own. And remember, it is a pretty great sensation, to take a look out your windowpane to see the shed which you constructed with your own individual hands.

Wrapping it up
Well I guess I will try to finish up the workbench odyssey here. It has been a fun and moderately cathartic experience spilling it out step by step here on the net. Its good practice because someday Im hoping to be able to write a few articles for a wood working magazine or two, Ive got some ideas...no Im not gonna share that, but well see.
So I had the basic build down, it was time to dress up what was left and build the leg vice for the bench. I used a circle saw to chop off and even the ends of the bench top, I removed 1-1/2 " total, adjusting to shave off defects and misses in the wood, it ended up being a 1/2" from once side and an 1" from the other, I finished the cut smooth all the way with a back saw
Now I took some nicer 1 by pine,
like I had bought for the shelves, ripped them to the thickness of the bench top and wrapped them around the edges. At first I was considering dovetailing the corners as well, and now in retrospect I believe I would have liked that better but my consideration was the length of the 8 boards and trying to hand cut pins into them and make them neat and tight. Like I said, in retrospect I wish I had given it a try, but I wimped out and went for butt joints.
I glued and nailed the boards around the bench top with 8d finishing nails, and eased all the edges into a slight round-over with my 2" block plane.
I also the cut out the face board to match the dug out I made to accept the end vise.
I then made a face board for the leg the leg vice was to oppose. This would bring the leg up level with the wrapped edge and help the vice work better. I glued and nailed this piece after I marked and cut the mortise in it for the rail that keeps the lower end of the leg vise in alignment.
I took a 2x10 piece of pine, measured out the angles of the bench and cut the leg vise from that,
I agonized over getting the shape just right, I must have measured and sketched it out on the board a half a dozen times before I liked what I had. I used a jig saw to free the vise from the surrounding wood and a hand held belt sander to soften up and bring it to the lines.
I had a large vise screw that I cannibalized
from an older bench. The bench came with in the move but it did not survive very well. I had to cut off a leg and repair it to get it down into the basement.
but that was after it sat outside for most of a Maine winter, Its got its place but it was never a great bench to work on to start with. It has commonly been referred to by me as my tool bench, because it typically sits under where I hand my peg board and tools, It lives as a staging area for pieces of a project Im not working on at the moment, for tools that I am done with at the bench but have not put away yet. for the pages of plans I am referring to for the project, or for anything else. The leg vise was a nice feature on this bench and it did see use a plenty, but I always wanted it attached to my real bench, my work bench. and now it is.
The tool bench is probably what you would call an antique in its own right. I received it from my father in law when we bought their house from them in 2000, They were moving into a trailer house and the attached garage didnt have room for more than one bench. however it was not his bench to start with...it was in the basement when they moved in in the early 80s and he took to using it himself, who knows how old it was when he got it, They bought the house from the obligatory little old lady, who had lived on her own for several decades, If I had to guess based on some clues I found remodeling the house. I would say the bench survived from the 1940s or 50s...
it took a bit of elbow grease to get the leg screw off the tool bench, (in the end I had to saw off screw heads with a hacksaw) but persistence paid off and I was rewarded with an excellent
mechanism. I clamped the finished vice face against the leg it would oppose so I could drill the screw hole through the whole thickness at once, This way I could be sure of alignment. The only bit I had that was large enough and long enough to drill the necessary hole for the screw, only fit into my brace, so after starting the hole with a forstner bit in my cordless drill, I worked up a sweat with the brace. I have to say it was pretty enjoyable though, I will have to look for excuses to use the brace more in the future.
The reason I did not measure and drill all the pieces seperately (the leg, the face board,
the vise board) was I was not entirely sure where I wanted the screw located until after I had everything assembled and clamped up. The nex part was assembling the vice, a couple of screws mounted and attached the bench screw, but I had a little more thought when it came to the runner board that keeps the alignment and allows the vise a little leeway to adjust to the piece it is clamping, Instead of gluing it in solid, I 
positioned the runner and drove in a single 10d finishing nail throught the vise and the runner board. This acts like a pin hinge, creating some flexibility in the construct.
Now there is only three tasks left, #1, drilling the holes for the bench dogs, (taking care to lay them out to miss the threated rods running through the bench, and the legs of the bench.)

#2, Giving the benchtop a once over to make it as flat as possible, I chose to sand it with a belt
sander as my surfacing plane causes a lot of tear out in pine,
And #3, a quick finish with a coat of natural, danish oil. I pondered giving the bench no finish at all, after all its only a bench, but the washer and dryer live down in the basement as well, and the dryer can cause some fluctuations in the humidity of my shop, so I wanted to give some protection to the wood because of this.
