First Build!

Submitted by jamilwest on Thu, 03/24/2011 - 11:02

The actual plans themselves came together REALLY well, and several times I found myself saying "How smart is SHE!?" when I would see how beautifully things were put together. 

 
The build was easy, but the finishing was hard.  I had to redrill sink holes a few times, putty the mess out of it, and I just couldn't get it sanded smooth enough to suit me.  
 
We ended up finishing it with Minwax Polyshades in Ebony.  Started out with foam brushes but ended up using the power sprayer.  Not recommended.  It was hilarious but very very messy!  We ended up with black stain all over ourselves, including our noses. :D
