I guess I got the finish to look okay on the pine legs and such. Looks great on the oak tops and shelves. Sat down to draw these on Nov 1 and they're finally next to my couch.

I don't know which picture to believe more, I think the tables are loooong, based on picture 2, and the angle makes picture one look shorter.

Nice work though! They look great

They are fairly long, they're 16 inches wide and 24 inches long. I wanted room for my lamp with plenty of room for activities up front.

Yeah they look pretty long. I wonder if the drawer is that long as well.

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago

They're not, the drawers are 14 inches deep. Ibwas afraid of losing stuff way up in there.

So... 10 inch secret compartments?

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

You have no idea how long I thought about that.

I might yet; the drawers are just boxes that rest on some runners, I could build up two more drawer boxes and just put them in before the drawers, and you'd never know they were in there.

I'm DEFINITELY going to put a secret compartment or two in the bar cabinet I'm going to build once the weather warms back up!
