    Default Dog crate furniture - My very first build.

    Hi all,
    This is a project I worked on for a mate, gave me something to do in the shed.
    It was the first time I had used many of the tools and first time since high school for the rest.
    Its just bunnings bought pine.
    The top lifts off so you can put the crate in and out. Just looks little nicer when it's inside.

    Welcome, looks good.

    We all had to start somewhere, just keep going and each job you learn something new and each job gets better. That wood make a great patio piece too, sit the coldies on it.
    The person who never made a mistake never made anything

    Cheers

    There were a LOT of mistakes made on this build. I messed up joining the top so had to bandsaw the joins run them on the jointer again. Then the top was too small so had to add some borders. And that was just one mess up.
    The best thing is It got finished and hopefully they are all mistakes I won't make again, or at least I will be able to fix them quicker

    They are only mistakes if you can't fix them other than that they are learning experiences.
    Enjoy the work.
