Summer fun

I like summer.  I like the sun for limited periods of time.  I like to swim in the lake by my parents place.  I like the longer days.  But, wow is it HOT!  Whew.

I have been wanting to get into wood working.  So, I bought an antique table and I have started to refinish it.  I am doing this in my parents garage.  They have the tools and the space, and it is just a short jaunt for me to get down there to work on it.  Besides, now that they are in Florida for half of the year, I don't get to see them as much.  This is a very good reason to get my butt down there to visit.

I am so excited, I have the whole table stripped, and just have a few more coats of sanding to do then I will begin the process of staining.  If the stain doesn't turn out good, I will paint it.  I know this will sound like famous last words but... how hard can it be?







The finished product...
