I started a woodworking class back in January and decided to build a printer stand, just an open stand with two shelves. When I added a door, it became the printer cabinet. Then I made the shelves into pull out drawers and it became the printer habitat. It then morphed into the printer mansion, aspiring to become a printer castle. The class ended in March and then I had to stop work on it for awhile after I had surgery in March. Well I finally finished it last night- 9 months later. Yep, coulda birthed a child in that time frame, but this is more to my liking than that!
The men in the class were rather appalled that I was painting it purple. But it matches a computer deks I already had, so that was the reason for the color choice, though I do love purple so I might have chosen that color even if it weren't for the desk. I turned the feet out of birdseye maple, and at the brilliant suggestion of my dad, decided to leave them the natural color rather than painting them to match.
I have learned that I enjoy working with a table saw, but I've learned that I hate hinges! I also learned that I do prefer the lathe work and making a pen, something that I can finish in a little bit shorter time than this, so this may be my last effort at making anything furniture-like...
