How are you spending your Thanksgiving holiday? I helped my son furnish his college apartment with a TV stand.  |

Thanks. It ain’t pretty, but it will hold up a TV.

I've been non productive. I worked on two pipes last night, but we have guests tonight, so no "making" today. Been staring at my mess of a workbench trying to find the place where I start cleaning it. Why not put off for tomorrow what you can do today? I'll be annoyed with myself for wasting today, tomorrow. I did take the kids shopping, and picked up some decorations, replacement bulbs, and sandpaper.
That's a nice stand, is it made by you?

How big is his TV? When I was in school, I had little B&W whose screen was about 10" !

Looks pretty good to me...if I had done it, you'd have pieces that didn't match up too well.

We got the Christmas tree up and now have to decorate it. It’s been a lazy day other than that. Bracing for some bad weather the next few days.

TV? I did not watch TV the entire time I was in college. Never had the opportunity. There may have been a set in the student union building or one of the lounges.
It is a different world now so there must be a tv and that calls for a sturdy stand. Never knowing what else that stand might be used for.

I’m sure I don’t want to know what else the stand might be used for. Todd |

I never had the joys of having children... Anyway, I am happy for you. You should be proud, and proud of your son.

That is a lot nicer than milk crates with a board.

That is a lot nicer than milk crates with a board. It is. Thank you. The best part, for me, is that my adult sons want to come home and do stuff with their dad. |

That is a lot nicer than milk crates with a board. What's wrong with milk crates? My first apartment all I had was my bed a dresser a tv and my stereo. I used the milk crates to hold the tv and stereo and they doubled as album storage also. The living room furniture was lawn chairs. I came a long way from those days but they were some of the best times of my life. |

I had cinderblocks and lumber scavenged from the work site for shelves.... I had money for beer and weed, but furniture was not in the budget. |
