Wood Furniture For Less : Furniture Glass Table Tops.
Well, one of many weekend projects
in all honesty. We are mov
ing soon and have been sort
ing out and clean
ing our current place,
in an ef
fort to move
with
less clutter and unnecessary
furniture.
This old chair, made by my great grandfather (I th
ink) was given to me by my father, when I first moved out on my own. It was not oiled too often, specially not
in my care. To be honest, it looked quite dull and life
less, and had sick-green cushions on it, that dated it quite harshly and clashed
with just about every other piece of
furniture we own.
In an ef
fort to modernise it, and convert it
into a feature
furniture item
for our new home, Kim suggested reupholster
ing one of the cushions
with some cloth I'd fallen
in love
with at a material shop some months ago.
About 12 applications of oil, and 3 hours of se
wing later... Our "old" chair acquired a new lease on life!

Media cab
inet. I made this a while ago, but just came across the pics aga
in. In the time we had a lot of electronic stuff ly
ing around
in the liv
ingroom like servers, a computer to watch movies from, amplifiers, cabl
ing mess, etc. I made this cab
inet to hold all that stuff and make it easy to move around. It has three 19" compartiments
for computers, different power groups, and a place
for keyboards an so on. Un
fortunately we had to move and it became
less needed, but i now use it
in my workshop
for t
inker
ing
with computers and electronic stuff
