My first decently large, and thus far only major, piece of furniture is a cat treehouse my girlfriend and I built for my cat. I was disgusted by the price and the poor construction quality of the pieces sold in pet stores, and I didn't want to pay shipping for something better.
So, I looked at the design, figured out what I would need and went at it. It took about a day using the university shop, and I was thrilled to bring it home and watch my cat jump on, claw at, and sleep on it.
Two recommendations. 1. Use https://www.dropbox.com/ to share the files. 2. Put some contact information in your profile :)
My dreams are pretty small for the time being. I want to build most, if not all, of the furniture in my new house. I want to explore the American wilderness before it ceases to exist.
edit: I've broken things massively as an intern...
