Hi all, had some time to get some woodworking done, maybe not in the truest sense, but its wood and its work ;-)
I converted the oldest child's changing table into a computer desk. The molding on the bottom was quite tricky, in the end I marked and cut and hoped for the best knowing that we had already gotten our money's worth out of the unit. Took out the upper swing out drawers and the lower drawers, webbing, etc. Used the slats from his old crib side rails and the lower rails to finish off some rough edges and voila.
The other project was to make some economical floating shelves, they had to be floating, at least 5', look nice..... in other words, custom made but do it for nothing. I think we all excel at that here no?!
2x12 from HD cut in 1/2, some recycled finish I had laying around, some blotching, but so what, its pine and I wasn't going to be able to take the time to build up a surface finish where I could completely control the blotch.... cheap,fast or good comes to mind. Couldn't have been all that bad, SWMBO wants another, shelves should be in three's she says...
Any easy way of embedding more than one photo??
