Well I've been meaning to finally make use of the garage space for projects now that we're not in an apartment. Decided to start with a coffee table.
Made all cuts first. Using a handsaw. Had a little trouble rigging a makeshift jig to get straight cuts, but wound up using a c-clamp horizontally with a guide cut block on top, then a spare end on the other side of the saw just held in the other hand to keep the saw straight.
Originally was using my hand drill, but the gears gave up on one of the pocket holes. So did buy a 30$ drill.
Hopefully one of y'all gets a kick out of this or decides to start trying projects even if you don't have all the latest doodad tools.
