Router Table Giveaway

[Stephanie Raper]

I started woodworking a few years back after finding Ana White's website.  I started off with a kids table and chairs and have been making everything we need ever since.  I'm a stay at home mom of 3.  I have a special needs son and 4 year old twins so I don't get much free time.  My "mom" time is spent out in the garage. I don't think I will ever buy a piece of new furniture again because I love building now and I love that fact that I can make all my furniture fit my needs and space.

There are two things I don't like about my workspace.  I really don't like the fact that it's in the garage so while I have a big project going I can't park inside.  AZ summers are HOT and a garage really makes a difference when getting in the car!  The other thing is lack of storage for lumber. 

My favorite project I've done is by far my son's bed.  It's a playhouse loft bed with storage stairs.  The stairs are a great place to keep toys or blankets/pillows.  I also built a media center to fit perfectly underneath complete with a little recliner.  I love having movie nights with him in the "man cave"!  I have a picture of the bed posted to my projects.

I just recently was given a router.  I make a lot of picture frames so that is definitely what I would want to work on first.
