A few months ago, I took on making a gaming table for a friend. The dimensions for the table were based upon the ideal space each player would have for his or her gaming pieces. The table needed to be a hexagon where 2a = 60″ (or a = 30″)! That is a big table! So… Continue reading A Table to Remember
Now don’t get me wrong, I love this table. But I do NOT like going out in my cold garage. I also do not LOVE the finishing process. But I did it. I turned on my heater for 4 days straight and during nap time or after baby bedtime, I applied layer upon layer of… Continue reading Thankful to be done

I had even forgotten about it until he recently reminded me. But let me get back to my business name in… Continue reading A.N.D. Woodworking Unleashed
After an extended hiatus due to child bearing, I quit my paying job to raise my kids…and during naps I’ve had time to do a little woodworking! Since I’m no longer making any money, my projects need to be economical. I found an antique door and decided to repurpose it into a king-sized headboard! After… Continue reading I’m Back!!
I haven’t posted for some time now, mainly because I have been really busy getting ready for baby #3! She comes in 34 days and I had so much to do beforehand. I will create another blog about my basement playroom project and shelves in the next couple weeks. My summer and fall was consumed… Continue reading The last 2%
