Folding Sawhorses, Charging Station, Glowing Epoxy Table


Obsessed Woodworking


Good morning. In today’s newsletter, I’ve included a few creative and functional builds. There’s a folding plywood sawhorse design with faux half-lap joints, a sleek wall-mounted charging station for cordless tools, and a kids' vanity set with pivoting mirrors and a matching stool. I also included a showstopper walnut epoxy coffee table with a glowing blue resin river and LED underglow.

If you’re new to the newsletter, thank you so much for being a part of it—and if you’ve been around for a while, I truly appreciate your continued support -Matt
