My post was more for other people that want to do a DIY project, and want to learn. You have a fine table there, sir


Yeah, I have built about 8 farmhouse tables, 16 benches, and a handful of rustic headboards along with misc coffee tables, sofa tables, potting tables, kitchen islands. I have sold almost all of them as a little side business. I am still learning and I am pretty hard on myself when one does not come out as I like, especially because I am selling them, but have had no complaints. 98% of the stuff I do is "rustic" or industrial, so that helps. I actually distress most of my furniture with a dremel to make it look like it's old. If I had to do "fine furniture"....I would quit.

It totally sucks, I"ve had to spray the same piece like 6 times and fix movement/joint problems for several weeks, until I thought it was "OK", but not perfect. I love wood, but hate it.

If you can see any microscopic join on fine furniture, it isn't right.
