First project
I finally got my inherited workshop up and wanted a project to do until I puchase a jointer, so I figured a $12 sheet of plywood wouldnt be too much of a risk. I made this from plans in Vol 16 Issue 93 Shopnotes. If I had know it would actually turn out half decent I would have bought better grade ply, but this might actually be functional. I did get cheaper casters than it called for, but I will change that when I can afford it.

Re: First project
You got the writing upside down!! Attention to detail Scott, that's what differentiates the true craftsman  . Looks like a useful shop accessory.

Re: First project
Functional  , and the grain on the OSB is spectacular. I think I see some chatoyence there
Shop furniture doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to do its job, and that looks like it will do it very well.

Re: First project
Thanks for sharing Scott. I saw that project in Shop Notes and you've executed it well  I'm confident you will find the stand useful.
Though you didn't ask for a "critique" . . . a bit of paint would quickly obscure the upside down writing
Congrats,
Roger

Re: First project
Come on Sapwood - Paint it !?!?!?
That would hide the wonderful patina. I'd go with a coat of BLO to pop the grain, a coat of dewaxed shellac to seal it and a topcoat of satin poly.
Kidding aside - Looks like a good solid base. Nice job

Re: First project
I find that when I build something on the cheap in my shop it is like a pregnant cat- you just can't get rid of it. It is amazing how temporary things soon become permenant. Looks good! Usually for me the hardest thing to do is build something for MY SHOP! Always seems that there are more pressing projects (jobs) that need to be done first.
