Make a Super SOFA TABLE

For the lucky few finally enjoying their “dream workshops,” big projects aren’t a big deal. However, for those still struggling to carve out a little shop space from a garage or basement, big projects offered by many magazines may be little more than wistful page-turners. This project is designed for the “little guy.”

In keeping with the spirit of our Basic-BUILDS project series, I returned to my small-shop roots and revisited a piece that I built when my shop was the back corner of a cluttered garage. A large shop with full-sized machinery has its advantages, but I re-discovered how creativity shifts into high gear when making do with less.

This table offers a bevy of valuable tips for beginning woodworkers, plus a few jigs that can help anyone make the most of the tools and space that they have.
