Bedroom Table During the COVID shutdown in 2020, I began working from home just like millions of people around the world. My wife and I turned our bedroom into a home office, using a folding card table as our desk. It worked, but it jutted out too far from the wall, making it awkward to walk around. My solution? I had some random sized strips of cedar, walnut, oak, yellow pine, and poplar wood that I had accumulated from some of my very first woodworking projects.

You bet! Living in a pretty remote place, I am so grateful to Chris Schwarz and Lost Art Press for educational content available online so that I could learn how to do this kind of stuff.

I'd like to join the list, too, if you haven't done so already. Thanks for getting this up and running!

My first post on this platform. I am a dad, husband, Lutheran pastor (ELCA). I enjoy cooking, playing racquetball, running, and hand tool woodworking - especially chairs. The chair below is one of my favorite creations. I use it every day in my office.
