It's a little scratch and dent given it's made out of offcuts, scraps and extras from other projects but I think it came out okay. Three coats of fake "tung oil" finish and it came up to a nice warm semi-gloss, and ambered up the pine enough to take the edge off the grain.

Yeah I'm going on a bit of a victory lap here, I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out.

With enough time and space, I sure could. My free space is taken up by a different kind of router.

My workshop is a 10x12 foot shed. You can see fully 1/4 of my shop in the above picture.

You’re right and I know you’re right.
