My first real project was to build a desk. Before we got married in August 1976, I knew I would need a desk for our apartment at college that fall.  So, with only my dad&#8217;s Skil saw, a hammer and nails and a bit of imagination, I built a desk out of plywood and pine boards.  It was about 3 feet deep and 4 feet long, with three drawers.  The photo below is the only one I could find that showed the desk.  My niece and nephew are a lot better looking than the desk, but it served me well until I graduated from engineering school and we moved into our first house.  I don&#8217;t remember whatever became of that desk, but I was pretty proud of what I had built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"655\" src=\"https:\/\/ilovefreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Slides_04_177-1024x655.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ilovefreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Slides_04_177-1024x655.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ilovefreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Slides_04_177-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ilovefreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Slides_04_177-768x491.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ilovefreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Slides_04_177-1536x982.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ilovefreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Slides_04_177-2048x1310.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ilovefreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Slides_04_177-469x300.jpg 469w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although I didn&#8217;t become serious in my pursuit of woodworking until just a few years ago, i dabbled from time to time.
