Walnut Epoxy Shelf, Shop Cart Build, Hidden Brackets


Obsessed Woodworking


Good morning. In today’s newsletter, I’ve included a few standout builds for both the shop and the home. There’s a three-in-one mobile cart that combines your drill press, router table, and sander in one compact setup, a walnut and epoxy bookshelf with a flowing corner design, and a sleek floating shelf build that hides heavy-duty brackets for a clean look. I also included a mini pallet coaster project that turns scrap into great-looking gifts.

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
