Notes from a very normal quiet Sunday with Woodworking on a budget

Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.

I started this because my lunch break felt a little stuck, and joinery seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

There is probably a middle ground here. For me it came down to the prototype.

I am saving this for the next time I overthink sunday. That is the kind of detail beginners miss. Process photos would be fun to see.

That is fair, but I still worry about maintenance.

The vibe here is immaculate. The social part surprised me too.

I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. I am curious whether furniture still feels good next month.
