what new
Hi everyone-well its been a long time but here is a table and benches i found at a flea market-when i saw this set I said this would look good in a cherry color-only gave 60.00 for it.it was blond and i made it cherry-what do ya think-well did not take much to do -just light sanding with 120 sand paper and stained with midwax stain(red mahocany#225) i love this color.after the stain dries i apply 2 or 3 coats of high gloss lacqure-i like the finish it gives-brings out the grain in the wood.i will try to post more items-i get things to redo and i forget to take pictures and my wife ask me why i did not post-well ill try to do better. see ya Dave

Bench created out of queen bed
Hello back again.Well the holidays are over and time to have some fun. I found these head and foot boards at goodwill for 25 .00 dollars. this bench took about 12 hours to make. I took the foot board and cut it 22in. wide-this will make the seat part 18in. wide. I went to home depot and picked up 2 -6in. by 10ft. pine boards and 1-4in.by 8ft.boards.These are needed to make the seat.I mounted the two side panels to the head board with 2in drywall screws. I then cut my 6by10 and my 4by8 -55ins long. I mounted these these between the side panels.After every thing was assembled I painted it flat black.I think it came out pretty good. Total cost for every thing was 55.00 dollars. NOT BAD. Any questions email me . Dave
