I had some thick maple left over from a run I made to the lumbermill a couple years ago I cut for the ends, and the walnut plank left from a tree I had taken down from the yard 2 years ago, I split the wood with a guy for cutting it up. I bought a bunch of shot glasses at the dollar store for a dollar, and a bunch of tea candles for 25 cents. Made my wifey, daughter, daughter-in-law happy, and was able to justify the thousands of dollars worth of tools in my garage. Life is good.

That is how I justify my tool purchases. A common table costs about $4000 when the tools are figured in, that and the cost of the building to build it in.

This is a nice project, Mike. And a great trade-off as well. You got some shop time and the women in your life got some really nice gifts. Sounds like a winning combination to me.
