We had a weekend with out plans so that meant I got a lot of shop time.
Friday evening started with a little time to mess around while waiting for my wife and kids to get home. I had saw a
video of Chris Pine making a large top and wanted to give it a try. It was fun and the top came out pretty good, the longest spin on it so far is 2 minutes.
Saturday I split my time between a few projects, I took time to mill some hickory for a project, and then worked on the dresser and the counter top. The counter top needed a little more work to make the sink fit, and after that it was time for more poly.

I also started applying shellac to the dresser. On Sunday I put another coat of poly on the counter top and fished the final coats of shellac on the dresser. New knobs and pulls finished off the refinishing and I delivered the dresser to my wife's work yesterday.

It looks good in it's new home. |
I plan to get the last coat(s) of poly on the counter this week, finish a few smaller projects, turn a few pens, and then finish the design and start the next big projects. I am going to build some book cases for the kids rooms and a desk for my wife.
