Antique Workbench Console

This was an easy project although it took us 3 weekends to get it finished.  My son loves to help now but it slows down the process.  We used wood we already had and reclaimed oak to make this table. 

We had to resize the table to fit our entryway.  The table design  was 64” long and we made ours 48” in length.  It was easy to do the math, the cuts for length were 75% of the original size.  For example,  the table top trim piece calls for a 64” cut,  take 64 x 75% and you get 48.  So that cut piece would be 48” instead of 64”.    We kept all other measurements the same, both width and height.   The only other change we made was in bottom shelf,  it calls for a 1x12 and we already had a 2x12.

 I am still looking for a metal piece(towel holder) to go on the front of the table.
