I just got done building two clothing wardrobes for a customer. What a pain in the butt. She didn't have alot of money to spend so it was very hard to give her the best quality. They were fairly quick to build, just a little larger than I'm used to building. So what is the biggest piece you've ever built.

I'm not the woodworker, but my husband is. He built all the cabinets in our kitchen and bathroom. (I've been pretty lazy, and haven't finished painting them yet!)
I love home crafted items, and wish that he had more time to build things for our family.:)

The biggest project I did was build a deck in the front of my house and a deck for our pool.It was 95 degrees out the day we put the deck on the house but we got it done in one day,it had two levels.My wife and I did the one by the pool but it took us two days. The only thing I regret is not using screws.I used a nail gun,what a mistake it is not easy to repair it.

I know what you mean about making something for someone and they do not pay a lot. People just do not think about what it costs for wood, screws, nails and the tools to do the job. They want something done but do not want to pay for it.
The largest thing I made was a workbench, it is 4x8 feet and three feet high. It has storage at one end that is 4x4 feet with doors on both sides. the other end has two shelfs that are 4x4 feet, for storing my smaller pieces of wood.
Most of the things I make are small items, like birds houses, wall shelfs and other things people would want. I can no longer lift heavy items because of my back, so I have to get one of my sons to help me if I need to build anything heavy.
