Free Bedside Table - Part Two


Before


 During
 
Using scrap wood from, you guessed it, the garbage!




                                           Sanding, painting and building a form for concrete.


I didn't follow the usual recipe for counter tops.  I used a bag of ready mix and added some Portland cement.  I noticed one of the corners has a hairline fracture so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Now

 Now for the hardest part.... patience.... as the concrete has to sit for a few weeks before I can continue.

Stay tuned...
Cheers!
