Default It Is Finished !!

Finally.....

My first ever furniture project. Done. A very simple, plain little hall table. It's all pine with poly finish only. It's for my mom. She wanted something real simple and this is it...lol

Thank you to everyone who helped with advice and suggestions on this. I think that was probabaly just about ALL of you.....

Oh well...not sure why I can't upload the pictures...but the table really is done....lol

You will have to get the pics figured out so we can see what you ended up with.

Tom,
When you have your post window open, scroll down and click on 'manage attachments' . This should open up another window with the browse slots. Click on browse and find the picture in your computor. Double click on the picture and it should take you right back to the browse window. The file name will now be in the browse slot. Click on the next browse slot to add another pic. When you are done filling the slots, make sure you hit the 'upload attachments' button to the right of the browse slots. You can load a total of five pictures. After you have hit the upload button, you will see the file names added to the box. Then hit the 'close this window' button and it will take you to your original posting box. Add your text, hit 'submit reply' and you should be all set.

LOL...very good....I like it.......

Actually I have been successful posting pics in the past....I think the trouble is that these are 3.5MB files....I think they are just too big....I have to figure out how to make them smaller I think.....

Maybe next time you should make the table smaller and then the picture file wont be so large
Right?

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the kind words. It was a lot of fun actually. The first time doing this so just about everything was new learning. But now that I have done one I can't wait to do more....

I did find out though that the workshop (garage) needs to be layed out a little better. So the first order of business it to get that all set up. Once that's done I have a TV stand to build and then I am going to try my hand at cabinet making. So get ready for thousands more questions...LOL

Thanks again.....

Okay, all kidding aside, that is a fantastic looking table. Just goes to show you that you don't have to make some fancy pants looking piece to show some real woodworking talent. Great job.
