The finished coat rack

So, here it is, in all it's glory. Besides a couple of coats of varnish, the only addition is the coathooks (which I had picked up on sale quite some time ago).
Wife and child are both happy- now I just have to get them into the habit of using the thing!
I'll add some hooks on the side for umbrellas and such later- and if it turns out to be "tippy", even with the extended feet, I'll simply screw it to a stud with a 3" screw. Not high art, but a satisfying little project- useful and cheap, just how I like it :)


I was on vacation last week, and spent as much time as possible working on my shop. When I get some time later, I'll do a post on how I prepared an old laminated countertop and made it into a built in workbench.
