I've recently started woodworking and have gathered a few tool out in my little shed (10x12) and started playing around. After finding this site and browsing the plans I came across this one and decided I'd give it a try. The leg lengths were a little shorter than what I had expected so I added casters to each leg to raise the height a little and to give it mobility. It took me longer to complete since I was doing it in my spare time and had to figure out a few things. I bought the Kreg pocket hole kit and had to play around a while with it. I also had to practice my staining since I hadn't done that before either. Also, if possible- I'd recommend finishing the slats before putting them on.. they're a pain to try and paint after assembled. Any questions or comments email [email protected] **update 4/26/12 - 2nd picture is where the island sat since I made it- finally had to say goodbye since my house is tiny-- Quick $125. First day it was posted on CL I had 5 responses- within a week and a half it was gone**
