MY MAD WOODWORKING SKILLS

Good news! We have something to put our stereo on! Well, almost. I built a cabinet for it and am in the last stages of finishing it. A couple more coats of polyurethane on the shelves and THAT will be done. It was a lot more work and a lot more time-consuming than I thought it would be but, I think worth it in the end. Staining wood is fun. And I'm not just talking about the fumes and the danger involved with oily rags. It's cool to see the patterns in the wood come to life.

Of course, now it has become obvious that we need a pair of very narrow end tables to go on either side of our stretch couch. I think there's about 7 inches on either end so they're going to have to be REALLY narrow. Hopefully, we can find something simple that fits. If not, dare I say, I might have to make something.

Bad news! Our frigging couch is still in front of the house on the street!
