as soon as it’s not frigid, i’m going to be a carpenter

Jan 3, 2024

When it’s frigid outside, it’s frigid in the garage part of the barndo. We don’t have heat out there without firing up a propane monstrosity. That particular act is above my pay grade, but as soon as it’s in the mid to high 40’s, I’m going to start a project.

Rustic barn wood furniture?

We don’t have a ton of tools — not like I had in a previous life. But we do have circular saws, measuring tape, electric screwdrivers and a sander. There’s barn wood in the garage that the previous owners left. I figure that’s enough for me to build this…

barn wood coffee table

I know, I know, it’s nothing great. But I live in a pole barn, for crying out loud. My current coffee table barely survived Merida’s puppyhood and I can use it upstairs. And besides, I really like it. 🙂

Here’s hoping when I get around to making this I won’t be too embarrassed to share a photo of the finished product.
