A peek at some projects

Not much time to write anything today, so I thought I'd give you a peek at a couple of projects that I've been working on.


I'll start with the patio chair refurbishing, which I posted about earlier. I've done another chair and a table as you can see...

...and one of the bistro chairs:


The backrest of that one was quite a challenge due to all of the angles. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to stain these. How well does deck stain work on furniture? I don't want it to be weird to sit on...


And now my latest project, a rather unique outdoor coffee table:




I'm really happy with how this turned out!


You'll see a lot more of this sort of thing from me from now on...

    Wow, Alan, those are both ingenious and very handsome! You'd best be careful or you'll have all kinds of people knocking at your door asking for more! Amazing...just amazing.

    Mark/Gaz: Glad you like it! Buy me a plane ticket and I'll come make one for you. :)

    Teri: Thanks!

    I just realized it's a Minecraft table!

    I hope you won't mind that I want to use that coffee table indoors.

    Bec: Thank you!

    Loree: Sure thing! If I made an indoor version I'd have to be more careful and precise, but I could use much more interesting colors... :)

    Peter: Thanks! I only have six more chairs to convert. I suppose I'll get faster at it as I go...

    Maywyn: thank you!
