To be more specific, have you made things that you either hated, or found fault with the design,
finish, or craftsmanship?
The reason I ask is we're on our fourth project that is a big disappointment. I mentioned on the
other thread that we're currently making a large tray for the center of our dining table. Well...
it looks like a clunky thing.
I also mentioned that I have this big fish centerpiece that I wanted
to put on this tray, so I wanted something substantial. I achieved substantial alrighty, however, also
sacrificed style.
I partially stained and painted it, and it has a shabby chic look, which I don't like
and also doesn't fit the room. The head guy said, we should just toss it I said let's give it one
more shot. Sand it down, round the edges and we'll paint the entire thing gold. If it still looks
clunky, I can use it for an outdoor serving tray in the summer, and start over.
We made an Asian birdcage, ( a total disaster) that was tossed...And two small end tables,
they were both nice tables, however, they just didn't fit our style.
One table I sold at a yard sale, and the other I gave to our son for his computer room.
So, on this very disappointing Sunday morning, do you care to share your disappointments and disasters.
