Building a table
Two days ago we got us some wood, color, angle brackets, waste amounts of screws and a rasp. The goal: Building a table, instead of doing it the capitalist way and buying a capitalist one. And we thought it to be mighty more interesting than just rushing into the next IKEA and grabbing there the default stuff. And we did it! We manufactured our own table: Beautiful as hell! Massive and heavy as an elephant! Wooden as the rain forest! … uh, as a tree, and painted it white as an eggshell! Now my whole room stinks of thinner harder than the worst chemical plant you can imagine. I swear, no joke! My windows are gaping wide open to improve the air quality, freezing me to death (outdoor temperature must be two degrees above 0°C). I hope I won’t have to wait ages for the thinner to evaporate … Arrrg!
But there a still plans for this fine table. First it needs a second layer of paint. Second we plan to carve interesting patterns into the surface and paint them red, red as blood, omg. I will finally put some new pictures on the blog when it’s done.
Update, 21.3., 03:01:
The second layer is finished and the dreadful scent about to vanish. Sketches for the motive we will paint onto the tabletop also have been done and will be published tomorrow. And I tell you: They’re the real wicked stuff!
