A Special Project Just in time for Lent




Long before Christmas, I wanted to build a kneeler for our home. After searching online for a kneeler that both my wife and I could use, I found that they were all too expensive, and finally came to the conclusion: "Why buy one when I can build one that's not only cheaper but better?" The only problem then became the money and the tools and the talent. Luckily, my wife was very good to me, and got me a $100 gift card for Lowe's, and convinced her father to help me put together my designs for the kneeler you see above. To say that my father-in-law helped is probably a bit too much of a stretch. Yep, as the photos suggest - he built the thing. He had the tools and the talent.
Check the HUGE book space! You're just not going to find another kneeler anywhere that can fit every season of the Liturgy of the Hours, along with the entire Catholic Encyclopedia on its shelves. Thanks to Ron and to my wife for helping me to make this a reality!

  1. I'm going to have to give it a try. Looks nice and functional. Are you going to stain it and seal it?

    Good heavens, no wonder I was led here! Wondrous! Not just the kneeler--the whole site!
