Sorry for the lack of posts. I’ve been doing more work around the house, and making a few things for the next Farmer’s Market (coming June 24th in Moorestown). So the only thing left for the end tables is the drawers going into them. The plan is the create a ¾” thick front panel for …
With my kitchen remodel close to being done (just some trim pieces and flooring to fix up) its time to get back to the end tables. Been too long. With the tables all assembled and ready, it was time to start the finishing process. I like to start with a “sealer coat” of 50% Clear, …
Sorry for the slow amount of posting. Been working on some home-related items (I am putting in a new kitchen in the house, including cabinetry, plumbing & electric).
