BRIEF
Design and fabricate a coffee table with a surface no larger than six square feet. It had to contain some type of storage (drawer, shelf, compartment), and had to include at least one veneered element.
This was my first time making drawers - so it was amazing when I put them in for the first time and they fit perfectly. "I love it when a plan comes together".
Even though I made a ton of mistakes, overall, I'm happy with the coffee table.
