A Project for our Daughter

 Our daughter brought this damaged, small chest for me to repair.

 I've put a bottom in the broken drawer and primed the chest for painting...

 Tomorrow I'll apply the final coat of paint 
and try a couple of styles of pulls.

Cabinet 3 Complete

Prime Time

 Sanded and ready for primer.

Primed.

This Will Be Next

 Found for $2 at a garage sale on Friday.

 It's got a few rough spots.

Bench Stress

 I replaced old boards on the bench above with some other old boards.  

I sanded the top lightly trying to keep as much white paint as possible...

then put a coat of seal on it.

 

This stressed bench is about 1 1/2" shorter after I had to cut some rot off the bottom.

(It has set on the ground for about 2 years--all seasons.)

The End

 Inside - one coat of poly...

Outside - two coats poly.

Hardware attached.

The end.

Tack Box Two

Stenciled.  Sealing begun...

Tack Box

 A friend built this tack box for his daughter.

He asked me if I would stain and seal it.

 So, after sanding it, I am applying the stain he selected.

Before sealing it, I'm going to stencil the owner's name on it

and maybe a couple of horseshoes, too!

Tonight was a beautiful evening to work on this project...

garage door open, natural light, etc.
