It's been a while since I last seen my parents and I believe it's been even longer since I last worked on the printer table I've mentioned a few times before.
After a few months of this being set aside for various reasons I finally had the chance to work on it! About two weeks ago I put all the peaces together (top included) and I sanded the rough areas.
Personally I think that it turned out looking awesome! Especially since this is the first wood project I do :D
If I where to take it and compare it to what my little brother has been working on... well...
Yeah... It defiantly isn't as pretty lol I also got a lot of help from my dad and well he didn't need help... My brother is really talented!
I got more time to work on the table last week. I did more sanding and stained it and i had a little extra time left to put on a first coat of varnish.
My dad had fun taking pictures and my brother helped out with the staining so that it would go a little faster.
Hopefully I'll get some time this week to give it another coat of varnish.
I believe that everyone can learn anything as long as they want to learn and dedicate time and patience to learning… the following are my stories about the the challenges I try, the things I learn… and a whole bunch of mistakes.

I'm back on track... untill november...
It looks like this blog is yet another project i had put on the side to participate in other activities...
Even if I have been quiet on this blog I have been very busy with other things... I had a few camping trips planned and so did my dad. I also had to take time away from creating things because I started looking for a house. Between visiting mortgage ppl, financial advisors, visiting houses and the usual summer fun, All the projects I had one the go where put on hold. But the search is over :) finaly.
I found the house I wanted and I have a supper good interest rate for the mortgage... now I just have to wait until November 30th to move in...
I already have some plans for the place and projects in mind. Most ideas are about making the place look like the unreal rooms in my head (I've already started making a list of all the things I want to do and it's already extremely long :S ). Anyways I might have to stop posting for a little while in November and December since i'll have to pack up everything I've got in the appartment and then unpack everything but I shoudl have many projects on the go after I'm settled in to the new place ;)
Until then I'll keep working on the printer table and I have a few sewing projects that where also put on hold that I'll be getting back to. After these are done I might start thinking of things that would revolve a little more around things I'll need at the new house... like pillows and paintings and I'm not sure what else... I would like to do another project with my dad once I'm done the table but I don't have the exact sizes of the rooms.
Anyways I'll be back soon with updates.
