A very simple concept for an outdoor end table. I’m working on creating plans for beginners for a series of basic projects, and this would be the type of project I’d include in the series.

Chief
I’ve been asked this question a number of times, and typically I’ve been vague when giving an answer. But I’ve been asked enough times now that I think it’s time to turn the whole idea into a contest. Who can figure out how I got the nickname Chief?
I’m breaking this down into two categories: 1) the closest to the real story; and 2) the most original submission. For number 1, the prize will be a custom plan for a project of the winner’s choosing, either of a Sketch of the Day, or something the winner has wanted to build, but just hasn’t had the time or patience to figure out dimensions, etc. For number 2, the prize is a Chief’s Shop hat.
I’m giving one hint: It’s not from military service.
Email your responses to chief@chiefs-shop.com, with the subject line “Chief nickname”. I’m running this contest until Oct. 31, and you can submit unlimited guesses.
Good luck, and Make Some Sawdust!
This standing desk concept is a departure from what I typically create, because it doesn’t have a storage top. This one is simply a platform for a laptop or tablet, with one storage shelf underneath.
