You guys are building some really nice and good looking stuff! I'm envious.

Here's a picture of a lovely computer shelf that I finished building today. You can tell I'm inexperienced. Constructed from 2x4s, metal right-angle brackets I found at lowes, and covered in 1/4 ply to hide some of its ugliness...

Now all I need to do is stain it, and find some way to cover up all of the edges that didn't quite come out as square as I'd like. Also maybe a door of some kind...

Here's my two recent projects:

First is a new desk for my office at home. 8x3 feet, red oak plywood, with fruitwood stain to match my bookshelves, and a couple of coats of polyurethane. I used Ikea legs because they're extremely cheap and get the job done. Also, a roll 3/4 inch veneer saved the whole project from looking like extreme poo poo. Underneath, I've mounted some pegboard to achieve the wire and accessory management that seems so popular on the internet these days.

Second is a shoeshine kit, made with leftover wood from the desk project. Not pretty, but super functional.
