So what would a weekend project be if it didn't take you the entire
weekend to complete? Easy! Well this
should have been easy. After going back to purchase another board ( which I ended up not needing after all) I spent the remainder of my
Saturday hammering out the details of the coffee table. After 4 hours of cutting and assembly, I discovered that I was missing one board. That's right! One! the only one I cant piece
together with some combination. The long side on the table top. So I did as much as I could and
loosely assembled it for the picture. It's actually looking pretty good so far. Even Cheryl is impressed and already has her mind working on other projects. The one thing about this project is that the
joinery is nothing fancy. I'll work on tenons, dowels and dovetails later. I'm actually having some fun with this one. Tomorrow I will have to set the table aside and work on my carvings ( I have five to do as of right now) I hate waiting till Sunday to pile all the carving up. But the coffee table was on my bench and I wanted to work on that. Most of the hard part is done now, so I'm thinking it
should not take too much to complete it. Cheryl can't wait..
Took the day off to work on painting the table. Then the camera pooped out on me. It needs batteries, but there is the bigger problem of the broken battery cover. Now the cover is cracking and inevitably going to make the camera totally useless. I was able to snap one picture though. If I remember, we will pick up some more batteries and I can get a coat of poly on it to finish it.
