good work ron!

they look like raised panel tops? confirm?

my brother has a very large wood shop in his garage, i have made a bunch of things in there but i'm not nearly as skilled as he is. he made all of cabinets, crown mold, base, pillars, deck, bed, etc etc in his home.

but thats besides the point. those look awesome!

Did they take long to make? Would you do it again?

Nice! I wish I knew how to do wood working stuff. I'm assuming you have all the tools + gear, right? Ali and I are trying to get her grandfather to make us a outdoor bench/storage chest for our patio.

nah 2 months isn't bad. considering the steps to just get to the stain and final clear coat. there is a bunch of hours there.

i was at the shop building a sub box this past weekend and was running a piece of mdf board through the table saw and must have twisted the piece against the fence and it slung back and hit me in the upper thigh.



hopefully you didn't have any problems or accidents while building.
