Close enough

It ended up being 3/4 of an inch too tall. Might have forgotten to take into account the thickness of the plywood

Turned out just right.

final resting place
Well it would have taken a weekend if I didn't get called off to work for 2 weeks.

We needed something to go between the two desks in the office. Sure we could have went to Ikea but what fun would that have been? I've never done anything like this before and for not being a big fan of carpentry (I'm better at working with metal) I think I did ok. It might have cost more than just buying a table but this one fits just right and I did enjoy building it. It also gives me a reason to buy more tools!

Might try building a dining room table next.

nah, you don't need a reason to buy more tools. The Mrs. is the only one who needs to hear the "reasons."

Looks very good! I agree with Dick White as well. We don't need a reason to buy new tools. That's just how we justify it to the wife.
