re: Leftovers

"Mates Rates"  I like that term.
Doing it right now myself on the small kitchen. Got to help when you can.

That's a nice small project.  Perfect for a small space.  
Being able to use leftovers is always good.  Hard to figure what else to use them for, this fits the bill nicely.
Good thinking to put the leg on for future use.

Figuring out how to do something you have never done is what makes a good challenge.
