ok, now you are thinking that I need some fresh air after being at home for the last 9+ years (got a head start on all y'all). No.... our favorite Squirrel Girl (Wendy) asked if I could make a squirrel sized picnic table for her furry friends. After a little thinking and some trial and error, I came up with this:

12" x12" x8" high - so it'll fit into a large flat rate USPS box.

squirrels are about 9-11" tall, so the table is 4" above the "seat". gotta use good ergonomics. :DAB:

those are WAY more detailed than a little table.

no children here, and we don't know any little girls that might be interested in one.

I have a similar talent! I buy large pieces of lumber from Home Depot, and keep cutting the boards to incorrect lengths, but finding other uses for the shorter miscut pieces, but then I miscut them too. The process goes on until I have a medium sized pile of sawdust, and a large pile of chopped up waste wood. Then, I go back to Home Depot and buy more big pieces!

I know its not exactly glamorous, but a man needs a hobby! :thumbs:
