Here is a few pic of a mantel shelf I made for my mom using only a circular saw, router, 1/4 sheet sander, and a coping saw. The finish is a water base milk paint the color is sage green.

It’s always fun to see what YOU (BWW) can create, with only a small amount of tools available. Nice job, as always.

Very Nice CJ. I see she already has it filled with family memories.

I suspect, now that you have the new saw, there will be many more projects made for her and all of your family.

Congrats on the new tool!!! It’s a great one to have for furniture/cabinetry/carpentry. Sounds like you are training to do a little of everything at your school.
