This is an oak chest I made for my boy to keep his toys in. It's extremely sturdy and durable. You can climb on top and jump up and down with no fear of it breaking. He likes to climb inside and shut the lid with a flashlight to read a book or play a game. Pretty sure he spends more time in it than his toys do. Anyone else find peace in building and working with your hands?

Nah, poison oak kek. This is something I made from scratch a couple years back. The designs were done by me. Knowing what I know now there would be a few alterations. I love working with oak and am blessed to have a woodshop to help destress my mind.

Beautiful chest, and no I don't say that often yep others. I enjoy when I have the time to make things. Made a bench with storage out of red oak back in the day. 25 years old and sturdy as the day it was built. Just built a 12x10 shed and looking forward to having time for the next project.

Thank you. For Christmas I built a craft room in the basement for my girl. I put a metallic finished epoxy floor down. I know it's not the same as woodworking but it's still relaxing and the room looks beautiful.

Cool, how was doing the epoxy floor? Was thinking of doing that on basement floor/ walls on a 4x6 root cellar. Good to teach the kids that being handy is a skill they can do.
