Tables for the Dogs?

Post by jepello »

My first significant shopsmith project. Dear daughter has two beagles that slept in crates taking up way too much space in their small house. She found plans for these on Pinterest and said "Hey Dad, I know what I want for my birthday"...

Finish work was not the greatest (I got in a hurry to get them done). Used aspen to keep cost down. Would have turned out better if I had used decent hardwood I'm sure. But they now reside on each end of her sofa and she loves them! And so do the dogs! So I declare SUCCESS!
