Others have used 1 1/2" screws. I'd be curious to hear about any experiences anyone has with different joinery techniques for this project.

This shows how you can really make a cool piece of furniture for next to nothing... it just takes some creativity and tools. That is really cool.

Start by just buying the wood. Worst case you will be out like $80. Tom, his email is pski (at) x818.com it is a little hard to find on his site. Everyone, let us know how it works.

I've always wanted to make my own furniture, but figured it couldn't be done without a massive power tool collection. I think I could actually manage this though, and it looks great! Wow.
