Hello Everybody...
This past week Hadassah and I took on a secret project in preparation for a large get together we hosted at our house. We knew the dining table we had would not even come close to accommodating the close to 20 people we invited, so we decided to put our arms to good use and build a table that would fit more than four people around it...Here are some pictures chronicling our adventures in the land of woodworking.
After borrowing some plans from a DIY website, we went to Lowes and bought all of the wood we needed. We had the fine chaps at Lowes cut the big pieces for us but the rest of the sawing and sanding was left up to us.
While we were at Lowes I tried to convince Hadassah that it would be much easier if I bought a power saw to cut all the wood so my arms wouldn't " fall off" while sawing all the wood. After the initial shock and look of absolute horror and fear for my safety left her face we decided that the tools pictured above would be the safe route, and thus the one we went with.
After we cut and sanded it all my faithful wife stained all the boards.
After the stain dried I went about assembling all the different parts.
We were pretty proud once it started to look like a real table.
And here is a shot of the finished table in our dining room. About an hour after I got it all set up in the dining room people started showing up for our get together. It was a good thing we had the giant table too, we used it for Dinner, board games and then Breakfast the next morning...Project# 1...Success...
God Bless
