For Christmas a couple of years ago my father built my wife & I a coffee table for Christmas. He had all the pieces of oak cut to size, but he assembled it himself.
For a wedding present just last year Kevin built, from scratch, a pair of end tables to match the coffee table which my father had made just a couple of years before:
To transport these beautiful end tables Kevin even built a crate using plywood and 2x4s.
On one of his more recent projects, Kevin & his wife have re-done their kitchen in a rather rustic Adirondack style:
And then, to cap it all off-- using the scraps left over he built a matching "trash can" to pull the whole thing together (kind of like The Dude's rug in The Big Lebowski)
I tell ya, he never ceases to amaze me.

That kitchen looks awesome.
Now if only my wife and I can convince him to come help us when we get a place of our own. hehehehe
I never ever thought Id say this about a kitchen, but wow!
WOW! Thanks for the tour of all your beautiful HAND MADE CUSTOM furnishings!
I am really impressed, and how meaningful to have things made by your dad and brother.
Cool!
Well the kitchen is all my brother's. But yes the coffee table and end tables mean a lot to my wife & I. We will keep them in the best of condition and they will likely become family heirlooms.
That's a great kitchen and story about a successful life change.
Snooze: Thanks! He's really turned his life around he's so much more relaxed and happy than he used to be. There's a lot to be said for being one's own boss I guess.
