Bedside Table in Chattanooga

Nathan’s Bedside Table

A couple days ago I got an email and the photo on the right from a guy named Nathan in Chatanooga. He’d seen my bedside table plans from the Plans page on my web site and decided to make a version of it for his wife’s birthday. His version is made from red oak, and it looks great.

It’s always great to hear from people who have found something useful at my site.

Missed it

Oops, I missed it:

If you have no idea what I’m talking about and you’re using a computer with an enlightened command-line interface, this:

$ man date

may help explain it.

Or not.
