@brandonnedwek actually, technically it's not done. Still have another sheet of plywood to put in the bottom to make a shelf, plus going to stain it with deck sealer so I can leave it outside. But it's functional now, so those are just "upgrades" :)

@seanmcbeth Exactly. What you have in that picture I would classify as "work bench", the rest is just bourgeois artifice. Nicely done though.

@brandonnedwek what's interesting is how it doesn't look like it will be sturdy until it's finished. You'll never get anything completely square using dimensions lumber, but that's kind of the point. All the small warps in the 2x4s act like springs pulling in every direction. Once everything is tied together, it creates a structural tension in the piece that *makes* it sturdy.

@seanmcbeth This feels like moving to a new plane of graybeard existence when you're saying "the runout in the materials is a feature, not a bug"

@brandonnedwek honestly, it's how all my software projects go, too. 3 months of not having any good results to show, and then some quantum wave collapses and everything falls into place.

@trevorflowers Thanks. Yes, quite solid. I can throw all 250lbs of myself on it and it barely shifts.
