What kind of wood projects have you always wanted to do?
If I ever get the chance to do it, the counter tops in my tiny will be live-edge slabs. I have no clue how to work with that. These books might help.

Mudroom Bench With Easy Drawers
Anna White have tons of free wood working plans on her website with YouTube® videos as well. I’ve always had a mental block about making drawers with slides. These free plans make it look easy and a bench seat with storage drawers is useful in many locations.
Bench seat with drawers are perfect for tiny houses, skoolies, even conversion vans or a campulance. Maximize your storage space with these bench seat plans. Drawers at the bottom of a bench seat are easy to get to rather than pulling out a basket or getting on your hands and knees to look in a cabinet. Drawers also contain the mess.
Here’s a YouTube® video of Anna White showing how to make a drawer with drawer slides. She makes it look so easy I think I can even do it.
