Hello All,
Star log - no one is out there. Just a note in a diary that records and event.
Have you ever had a project that fought you every step of the way? Well this shortening of an entertainment unit was one of them. True to form the last thing I was going to do was spray on a coat of varnish. Nothing hard about that at all. Easy peasy. Well until the sanded down original varnish reacted to the new varnish and orange peeled with blotches thrown into the mix too.
Nope, I am not going to sand down the whole cabinet back to bare timber in order to remove the two lots of varnish that reacted with each other. I reckon the result looks 'rustic'. It is staying that way. I am not even going to sand it down with something like 800 or 1000 grit with a hand block. Nope - 'rustic' that is the word. The line has been drawn under that project.
The cabinet is at last out of my shed and I do not have to see it there any more. The trouble is the unit will have the last laugh because it will have television sitting on it in the lounge room. Each time I sit and watch TV the cabinet will be on daily display, as a constant reminder of how it fought me every step of the way. Sigh!
Kind regards
Lionel
