Boydski tries his hand at Woodworking This Woodworking stuff looked like it was a lot of fun! I'd been learning a lot while I was doing the big remodels, and Normy was making it look SO easy. I just had to try it myself. For my first "project", I picked something pretty simple. I made a simple Shaker bedside table. Of course, not really knowing anything about "real" woodworking yet, I made LOTS of mistakes. Like making the table out of "hemlock", which is all that I could find at the local "Home Center". And, my joints weren't the tightest things in the world, and the glue was a bit messy, and I didn't seal/condition the wood, so the stain went "wild", but I learned an awful lot, and it turned out OK. It's down in the guest bedroom, doing a fine job. |
