Day two: Mystery project

Day two is underway! I was forming sides 3 and 4 of my project, which went a lot quicker than sides 1 and 2. I think I'm getting used to reading the plans and using my Kreg jig, so I'm cruising right along.

The piece on the far left is a leftover piece that I used to keep the pieces square as I screwed the other pieces together.  This worked really well for me.  If the project was much bigger, I would need clamps, but for this, it worked fine.  Everything ended up nice and square!

Here are sides 3 and 4!

The plans from Ana White are awesome! (and there is a major clue in here if you want to look!)

Here is sides one through four put together!  Oops....can you see my mistake?

How about now?

Or now? Yep, side three or four needs to come off and be turned around.  I was feeling a little distracted (a big no-no) and was wanting to get done (should have stopped then), but I wanted to get to a good stopping point, so I forged ahead.  Lesson learned (again); it doesn't pay!  It won't take me long to fix this, and fortunately it's a small problem to fix.
