We decided to make a woodwork bench for Eli for his birthday, and I fortunately had an amazing opportunity to join a DIY workship this morning to make it all happen. Brent, a friend of ours, recently started his own woodworking business and is planning to offer DIY workshops in the near future. To prepare for that he offered a session to friends to get some feedback on the whole thing, so this was a perfect opportunity to go and make use of all the toys and learn from someone with lots of experience.

It was a great morning, I learned lots, had fun doing it, and managed to complete the workbench in record time. Thanks so much Brent!
