Garrett Hack-inspired Side Table

By benjaminallen, member Sep 10, 2021

I really enjoyed making this table, from choosing the board to applying the final finish, this side table was a fun but challenging project.

As a 16-year-old, I am especially pleased I was able to build this table using my current skill set and the tools I have on hand in my small shop.
