    Finally started a river dining table - miscalculated the volume, have had to buy ยฃ34 worth of resin just for ยฃ6 worth to level it out ๐Ÿ˜ก

    Hardest part was teaching my wife to use power tools 'cos my grip is non existent this week โ€ฆ I can't remember that last time she swore at me, but made up for it this week ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Stage 1 of about 6 more hours of prep before conditioning the wood before staining and hard wax oil. Table is made of 5 inch planks glued and biscuited together, and split with an axe for a more natural look

    Images don't do it justice of how vibrant the copper is โ€ฆ

    Next update will the the finished item, or a copy of my divorce papers โ€ฆ

    @WelshBlue thatโ€™s looking great so far. Iโ€™m sure your wife probably felt better after swearing at you ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚ itโ€™s a good form of release! My hubby teaches me how to use tools and he is quite patient as he knows my brain ๐Ÿง  doesnโ€™t function that well. lol, I get quite frustrated if I canโ€™t do it right.

    Looking forward to seeing the next stage of the table

    @Pandapaws โ€ฆ thanks โ€ฆ it will get there. It's been planned for months, but the body has always laughed at the mind.

    Your husband sounds a better man than me. I've always been lucky to be good with my hands, could do anything, be it with wood, metal, cars, electrics etc

    Now frustration and grieving for the old me sets in. Therefore, absolutely no patience and too much of a perfectionist โ€ฆ she was in a no win situation. But took to it fairly well for a first time and me harumphing behind her ๐Ÿ˜

    The neighbours had a good chuckle whilst we had a domestic and my parentage was called into question. Along with other words that the post filter here would need a dark room to recover from it's so sensitive โ€ฆ

    All in good fun. Although she couldn't quite understand how when working with wood - your fingertips will always tell you more than your eyes

    but like in all aspects of my life - would be lost without her

    My last 3D printed model that I've finished painting. Took a few weeks to do and my first attempt at painting resin, but I think he came out ok.๐Ÿ˜Š

    @Albus_Scope Your work looks majestic! Wow! It reminds me of Robot cartoons from Japan I used to watch as a kid in the 80's . I love the colours.

    Wow, thanks @Cherry70 I was aiming for a kind of gritty realism, but a bit cartoony. And I'm a huge Transformers and Gundam fan, so that means a lot. ๐Ÿ˜
