An afternoon with a stripper.


Just spent this afternoon stripping the legs of varnish ready for the table to be refurbed.

just need a final sand and cleaned with turps.

Noticed one leg has been chewed by a dog for that authentic farmhouse feel.

Right, off to Leftfield tonight!

Swap No.2 - Field telephones for Table!




David met me at the end of M1 services, having driven an hour himself from fivemiletown, He didnt seem to know quite what he was going to do with the field telephones but thought they were an unusual thing and I needed a table. Hope you enjoy them David.

So an 80 mile round trip later the table is home with me, I gave it a quick wipe there, I'm planning a bit of work on it, im not sure what yet, I'll blog what happens next.

few pics a fter a quite wipe down, you can see the table with filthy when I picked it up from the pan!
