I've been looking at different plans for TV trays for a few months and haven't
gotten around to making them.. material lists, cutting layouts, etc..


We were in the States last week and Wal-Mart had wood TV trays for less than $9
each.. The wife loved them and I liked the idea of buying them for less than I
could buy the wood and hardware, so we bought 4 and I'm back on the lathe today,
figuring that I dodged a bullet..


Pretty bad when I can buy something cheaper than I can make it, though...

At least $300.00 worth of glass alone....

... or those $119 teak porch rockers at Sam's ... the one's that are
indeed teak, (I've three of them, and I wished I'd bought a fourth
before they discontinued them hereabouts).

Speaking of teak. There is a 1000 km railroad, in Scandinavia
someplace, entirely done with teak ties.
