Good morning. In today’s newsletter, I’ve included a few practical and fun builds. There’s a wall-mounted bottle opener with a hidden magnet that catches falling caps, a simple shop stool made from scrap wood, and a tabletop skittles game that adds a touch of fun to your workspace. I also included a space-saving couch side table that fits perfectly in tight living areas.
