When You Ain't Got No Money

I am always trying to figure out how to do stuff as cheaply as possible but with some quality. For this guitar project, I decided to build a smaller worktable suited for luthiery. Made this one in about 4 hours, in the backyard, on the cheap with pine 2x4 ripped and cut to specs. The top is a 2ft x 4ft MDF sheet. I made it small enough to fit in our dining room area (don't tell my wife yet) so I can also work inside. The only larger expense was the end face vise which cost about $40 which was one of the cheaper ones for the size I wanted.I am going to put some removable wheels on it to make it easier to move around. I also made it small enough to fit in our dining room area so I can also work inside (don't tell my wife yet!) .Pleased with how it turned out. Now to build some more tools, to make more tools...One day I hope to start working on an actual guitar.
