@horati0nosebl0wer setbacks kind of are my own fault, but one can’t learn without making a mistake or two.
It can be a bit depressing at times, but when things do work the satisfaction of a job getting done is there too.

I am liking this tinkering with wood and making my house my own.

Of course I’m a long long way from being an amateur DIY’er.

The project isn’t in a bad shape at all. It’s just a lack of muscle power that is holding it back a bit.
I also need to keep myself focused on doing one thing at a time. Setbacks do tend to make me switch goals and that’s not helping the project completion. (I wouldn’t know if I got some form of ADHD-like thing because I’ve never been tested … maybe I should look into that? Not sure it’s something to think about )

Anyways … the table toppers (sp?) were not the only thing in my wood order.
I also got stuff to build 2 colomns of 90cm in height in MDF. That part was surprisingly easy and showed me what can be done if all you need to do is assemble the bits you’ve ordered.

It’s a work in progress, but 4 x 20cm x 90cm with the sides cut at a 45 degree angle resulted in a near perfect column using only wood glue. I’ve got me some wood trim because the 90 degree angles are sharp as f*ck. I think a v2 of this will be something I do in the future.

@sundancer : it’s not a table saw. but it does go *brrrrrrr*
