For some reason...

I can cut board exactly to the length that they are supposed to be. Measure twice, double check, draw a line, check the line, eye up the cutting blade once, and then once more, and EVERY time, the shit comes out wrong.

Regardless of all that, I have used my new table saw to build a new workbench, a workbench that is, as far as I can tell, nearly level. Its a fine workbench. I made it exactly as high as the table saw so I can use it as an extension if need be. Or at least I tried to make it exactly as high as the table saw. "Exactly" is such a subjective term when it comes to how I build stuff. I'm sure I'll get better at that.

Its not completely done yet, but alas, its past the dreaded 11:00, quiet time. I don't need to hear my neighbor bitch about how I was hammering until all hours of the night. Eff him though, his crap ass dog is barking as I type.

After my workbench is done, I'll have a good start to a nice little workshop in my basement. I bought a new light to put up that will greatly improve the lighting, and a big ol plastic shelf unit to hold all of my tools so I can get them out of the kitchen, and somewhat organized.

The materials for the bench only cost about 40 bucks. Compared to a bench that I could buy for 40 bucks, mine rocks, even if it has a certain endearing crookedness to it.
