I Built My First Coffee Table!!! (and I Still Have All My Fingers!)

I’ve got big news people!
No, not I’ve-cured-cancer or I’ve-figured-out-a-way-to-attain-world-peace news, but in Shanna Land … this is big news!
My hubby and I have our defined roles as far as working on projects. I do the pretty stuff, and he does the stuff that could possibly maim you for life. Over the past year, I have been creeping little bits at a time over to his side. Learning how to use a drill, a nail gun, etc.

The one place I hadn’t ventured over to was using saws. Now this is where one could really get hurt. I watch have watched Grey’s Anatomy for years and lots of bad things (like losing a finger) can happen when people use saws. And I like my fingers.
Enjoyed the project?

Christine on Nov 17, 2015I'm definitely going to check them out. Right now I now the lawn with ear plugs and headphones. Then a hat. Oh, I'm one stylish chick. Ryobi also have a saw I like a lot. You know how the circular saw blade is on the right had? If you're right handed, it's really hard (for me) to see. They make a saw with the blade on the right for us right-ies. I think I might feel more in control with something I can see. Now... for the noise. I will start looking. Thanks for the tip!
