1 yoyo
1 shooting board
1 jewelry box
1 marking knife
4 rolling pins (the little pins are gifts for kids, they use them for cookies and play-doh)
5 pens
6 screwdrivers
9 drawers (for the auxilary workbench)—my first try at hand cut dovetails

And the big one…2 loft beds. They were a lot more work than I anticipated

Those loft beds are a terrific way to utilize space.

WOW!!! I’m retired and I couldn’t get that much done in a week, let alone doing it on vacation.

Wow, I would have gotten half of one of those projects done. Of course I have a 4 year old attached to my right leg and a 2 year old attached to my left. LOL

Yes, I’ll get some more pics of the beds. I found the plan in a Black and Decker book of projects; you can see it here

Michelevit: there are 2×2s lagged to the studs with 3 1/2” lag screws. The plywood mattress support is screwed to both the plywood box around the mattress and to the 2×2.
