Just not in November.

The lightsaber is on a pile of unfinished ideas. Couldn’t find enough of the right doo das and greeblies for it. I haven’t abandoned the idea tho don’t sorry.

So when we bought this place there was a cavity in one of the benches in the kitchen


Finally got around to building something to fill it

Links ar broken dave?

Fuckin photobucket holding thousands of my photos hostage too and my account restricted unless I sign up to a yearly subscription. Fuck that

Only you are ever gonna spot that stuff. You’ll never please yourself with making stuff and end up going in circles. It looks great.

I gotta say, that thing is way too cute to tuck away like that.

Can't you use it as a cart/server....wheel it to the table. Impress guests. Wheel stuff back to the sink. Put a decorative cloth napkin on it, vase and flowers, wine, bread basket. Etc. Eat in front of the.tv table



Put a wastepaper basket in that spot. Or store the step stool there .

Or just make another one

It gets wheeled out from time to time. It was purpose built for that space, and to be honest - now all I can see are the mistakes and imperfections.

Take it out back and spray paint it a nice rustic maroon color.

Then while standing further back spritz some black spray paint here and there to dirty it up a bit.

But first drink if you do. That'll make you an artist

One day I may just get drunk and do this

I made a bench. It’s a good one. Gapped on top and steel rods through the legs. Man are they hard to cut.

Hey dime, where do you find your pallets? I need to procure a few. They always seem to be laying around until I actually need one.

Yeah about to say the same. Never take the blue or red ones and check for a brand mark burned on. If it says MB leave it there. If it says HT it’s ok to use.
Alleys industrial parks even big malls out the back. Do ask though.
