Weekend Projects - Table for Jonathan's room
Normally Ryan would be working on his train but he needs to sandblast the body and paint it and its 20 degrees outside. I am not really inspired to work on any quilts.
So now for something a little different but the same...
We went though the stock of loose boards, cabinet doors and found a dresser top from my Grandpa Kissell.
Next to make a frame and legs that could handle a little climber on it so off to the 2x4 stack.
Ryan helped me square up the frame.
Ryan helping drill the holes for the screws.
For the last couple days I have used half a bucket of wood putty and been sanding with 80 grit and now I am up to 120 grit sandpaper. 3M sandpaper for me after using the cheap stuff and nothing happened.
I am trying to sand it so that no little fingers will get slivers. I am amazed how many times I run my fingers over it and then sand it just a little bit more. I could fill a cottage cheese container with the shavings and dust I have taken off this table already.
I should clean the mirror soon. I am not sure what the cats were doing on it...
