Two 4'-6" x 13 1/2" benches. I had the wood in the shop, but no orders for them, so I am getting them all done except the painted bases. 1/3rd of my time goes into building them and 2/3 rds goes into the finishing of them. I have one or two more coats of polyurethane to go on the tops and the the paint color and sealing of the bases.
Sort of got slowed up the last couple days because of gout in my left ankle. Sure hurts.
TV, stereo, storage etc. I emailed them and declined the project. It is just to big and awkward of a piece to do in my small cluttered shop. It is also a standard box cabinet type of item that need to be perfect to look good. Most of my new items are out of #2 pine, painted and distressed not perfect birch etc. The rest is restoration of antique furniture. I don't like trying to refinish the modern finishes, especially in the winter time in my closed shop. The other item I have added to my business card it restoration of antique photographs. I have done photographic work for since about the early 1940's.
