There's a 4-4 1/2 mile loop pretty close to where I love, I try to take him around that at least once a week if not two or three times if the weather is nice.

As far as finishes, it depends on the project. Most any furniture will need some for of water protection, most likely a poly (although you could go with a thick set epoxy as well to get that bar top feel). If I have my druthers however I do prefer to go with linseed oil or something similar. Feels and looks more natural, but has almost no protection from moisture.

That coffee table has 9 (I think) coats of clear poly on it, certainly overkill but I was more filling in the voids in the grain than going for protection after the 3rd coat. I did 2 coats of clear and a coat of semi gloss poly on this dining room table I made my friend.

That table is fucking heavy btw. Took 3 guys to move it in and we still almost dumped it. (It's all just lumber you can get at home depot with a stain I made from steel wool and vinegar). And like the coffee table, no hardware.

As far as my wood shop, it's my garage. I've got a 74 Corvette that sits in it during the warmer months. But Honestly I don't have that many tools. The coffee table was done with a drill driver, table saw, and chop saw, along with a hand planer, draw knife, and a few sharp chisels. So certainly under $7-800? I've got a band saw now that help quite a bit and I'll be picking up a hollow chisel mortiser when I get the money and space.
