Very well done! Looks very nice and should be very sturdy to hold up to the abuse of a family over time.
With your breadboard glue up did you just glue the middle third and leave the outer thirds unglued for expansion? Or did you glue the whole thing?

The entire breadboard is glued to the table section.

I made this Calgary Flames jersey around 1995.
Made from a white practice jersey, this was hand stitched, and custom made for one of my stuffed animals. The stripes were laid out and painted by hand using acrylic paint. The CCM and NHL logos on the hem were also painted. Paints have faded due to wear and time.
Details include double padded shoulders, double padded elbows, underarm gussets, and fight strap with hook and loop closure, just like the authentic jersey. Fight strap made from a CCM helmet strap, secured with a piece of vinyl, and sewn to the inside back of the jersey. The chest crest is three layers (red, yellow, black) of vinyl that was hand cut and stitched together, then sewn onto the jersey. Vinyl was used where tackle twill would be used on an authentic jersey.
Measurements - Wingspan: 42cm, Armpit to armpit: 19cm, Shoulder to hem: 17cm, Logo crest: 5cm x 4.5cm

Small weekend project from, uh, 2 weekends ago now. Had it done in half a day, but for some reason the stain and varnish took forever to dry in my paint booth/laundry room/workshop/freezing cold basement. So just put it in to place last night. This was to replace an end table and give a real home to the stereo. Due to the room shape, a corner style made more sense. The top piece is the only full sized one, so there is plenty of space behind for loose cables. A big plant fits on top. Really pulls the room together.

How did you build all those panels in half a day? Impressive.

LOL, the panels I buy. What do I look like, some guy with a big workshop? I'll take a picture one day, it ain't pretty. Pine panels are my go-to for easy projects.
EDIT:
Oh, hey I have a picture.

It's only "clean" becuase I had just finished doing the ceiling panels and I wanted to make it look nice for the picture. I also have to keep it reasonably tidy becuase just behind where I took the picture is the washer/dryer so space has to be negotiated...Really need that garage...

Odd, I know Surferguy and some others see them. They are on Google, so shouldn't be a problem.

You built a tiny blue box with a question mark in it?

Weird. I wonder if google blocks it after a certain number of views? I dunno. Stupid internet. For an internet company, Google sure makes it hard to find a direct link to an image to share.

That way is probably not intended to be used to share widely, just upload it to imgur.
