I have a thousand things in mind that I want to build but I decided the first would be a bench/toy/cedar chest for Audrey. I came up with a design. I designed it to have bead board in the front inset a little from the frame....Well. My teacher decided that we were going to make that bead board out of individual pieces. HOLY COW!! I cut, and jointed, and sanded, and shaped, and sanded again, and pieced together, and sanded some more 26 planks of bead board. Yikes! Even though that was crazy, for the last several weeks I have been forging ahead learning lots about all the amazing things you can do in a well supplied wood shop. I am pretty proud of myself because it looks awesome. Last night I did a few silly mistakes, hope I got them all over in one night so I don't feel stupid to the teacher anymore. I hate that feeling. Luckily it was nothing to do with my finished product or anything like I had to replace pieces. I am happy about that. So just wanted to share the progress!

I'm totally and completely jealous. where did you find the class at? This is something I've been wanting to do for a long time. How much is it costing you?
Yay for woodshop! You're not lying about your project being intense! I would've given up on the beadboard after about the 11th board. Good job!
That's amazing Becky! Way to go!
Holy Cow!!! Impressive. I wished we lived closer to each other. I would have totally gone with you to this class.
Wow Becky you're so amazing. Will Audrey even be able to get into the toy box, it looks huge? You are definitly learing some great stuff.
how fun!! i bet you girls are having a blast. i love to learn how to do new things!! can't wait to see the projects all done!
Way to go Becky. The toy chest is looking good. I think I am going to need to take up some classes like that. It is always fun to learn something new.
