Upgrade

 When I built this shop back in the winter of 201-2018, one of the things I built of scrap lumber was a temporary table that we could use as a cook prep area and to use as a serving table. Built from scrap 2x4s and plywood, it was never meant to become a permanent fixture, but it is so damned useful that it keeps being used even today.

That old table has served us well, but lately, Belle has discovered warming mats that we can plug in to keep food warm while we entertain, and we wanted to upgrade the table.  I searched around and found a butcher block tabletop that would add a few inches to the table and give me some room to add a power strip underneath the table edge so that she could plug in those mats.

Today, elder son and I installed the new tabletop.

I think that looks a little more finished and gives me room to add the power strips. Belle comes home on Thursday.  Belle approved the upgrade before she left and when she gets back, the project should be compete.
