Massive Shop Storage, Cutting Board Detail, DIY Router Table


Obsessed Woodworking


Good morning. In today’s newsletter, I’ve included a few high-impact and creative builds. There’s a vertical sliding shelf system with massive storage capacity, a compact router table made from a repurposed nightstand, and a sleek walnut cutting board with a contrasting maple inlay. I also included a custom police gear stand that blends utility with personal detail.

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
