I'm Making Something This Weekend

Come hell, high water or something truly nasty, I will be making something this weekend.

Friday - Establish What it is That I Will be Building
Here is a link to a site that appears to have good step-by-step instructions on how to build things:

A coat hanger or a shoe rack would work well at my place.

I do not really need a desk but this one is really well built.  I like that it appears to have plenty of leg room and a nice clean, flat surface:


Most likely whatever I build will not be nearly as cool as this guy's machines:

Look, a Working Archimedes Screw!

Saturday - Get to Home Depot / Lowe's if Need be and Build The Thing!

Sunday - Post Results or Progress on my Clean Sheets and Dirty Girls blog (CS&DG)

This is a really aggressive schedule given that I have other things I do as well.  Keep your fingers crossed for me.

  3. Good luck on the project! I'm all kinds of handy, and I can do a lot of things, but I'm not so good with the woodworking.

  6. I built a desk once. Well, more like I put one together that I got at Walmart. I don't think that's what you mean however. The way things are going, my next desk will probably be made of Styrofoam.
