Woodworking: The Ferret Foiler

I get together with my friend Millard a few times a month to play in his well-equipped wood shop. This is our latest project, which he dubbed the Ferret Foiler.

My wife and I have ferrets, which are allowed out of their cage in the family room for play and exercise twice a day. Our stereo and CDs are also in the same room. The ferrets are very much like two-year-olds, so you have to keep things out of their reach. The Foiler was conceived and built to put the CD racks on, so that we can use the bottom two shelves again!

The Foiler is a long, shallow, low table made of solid oak with a Mission Oak finish, built using mortise and tenon construction.
