Re: My Commissioned Conference Table build...

jonathan, I am using regular paint thinner at the moment and finding good success with them. Splash ang brand iirc...

today I started making the stops for the legs...

it will be stained and finished and glued to the bottom part of the top to located and lock the legs in place. the chamfers and roundovers provide a means of slide to center the legs during mounting...

Re: My Commissioned Conference Table build...

I see you brought out your valuable mineral spirits! Was the difference noticeable?

You were already able to buy filters?

How about the electricals ? I thought there would be built in connections.

hehehe, di naman ako ganun katanda para matawag na manong. hehehe, the project is something you can do if you start and practice. you just have to start building stuff from small things. I always recommend making boxes. ako din gusto ko ng tolls, para may regular income ako :p... hahahaha
