I started building simple floating shelves for my apartment back in January, and yesterday I counted and I'm at 50 total now. That's like 50 hours of sanding and measuring and I didn't even realize I had that many in me. How many projects have you guys cranked out before you stopped keeping track?
Mike must have either a really big backyard or a seriously tolerant spouse, because 30 chairs is a lot of furniture you can't sell. I built two last spring and halfway through the second one I was ready to use the leftover wood for a bonfire. I call it "enthusiastic" if he actually finished them all, but I'd take a look at the garage to be sure.
