When you're lucky enough to be married to an architect who is handy with carpentry (and electrical, plumbing, decorating, painting, etc.), it's not surprising when he decides to build things. Three weeks ago, Tom used scrap wood to create a workbench (I think it's about 9 or 10 feet long and 2 feet wide).
For many years we've had a metal framed workbench, that was getting old, and even survived a move over 400 miles this summer. But it was looking pretty shabby, and Tom decided he could build a better one, and he did!

As an architect, not only does he design it, but he carefully measures it all out, saws all the wood, and assembles it all by himself. It took him about 6 hours to create the finished product, and we were so happy with it. We were also happy to get rid of the old metal framed one!
