Bedside Table
Peter and Annalien decide to make a matching a bedside table from one that is rather old, see how Peter overcomes certain challenges attached to this. Peter also builds a picture frame without having to cut 4 pieces of wood at 45 degrees. See how he does it! Annalien makes a door stop in the shape of a bird. Be inspired by Get it Done!
