$100 Chair Do-up

Whilst making the gaming table of a lifetime, I decided I needed some chairs. Trademe had these ones.

$100 for six. Solid Wood. Ugly as. 

Upon buyign them and stripping them back a bit, we figured they were solid Oak. Which is always nice to learn!

We recovered the cushions and sanded until they were smooth and clean. 

Turned out looking amazing in my opinion. Nice, clean and modern looking. They need a bit of work on the joints pulling apart a bit, but that's on the to do list. 

The Greatest Table of all time.

Last year I started the journey to become a projecteer (I have chosen this title as projector could give the wrong idea). My first idea? A Games table.

It was not a particular original idea, granted. I saw a few amazing ones online and Chris's birthday was coming up. The ones for sale were over a grand and a half, without shipping to NZ. So I figured we'd build it (we being my Dad and I).

Below are a few of the in build shots. I'll try find the sketches and otherwise that I used. Table is Macrocarpa, with ply base, lid and cupholder/storage cubbies.

Its a beautiful dining table by day, and a epic DND adventure board at night.

My apologies for the quick post - I'm gonna aim for at least one blog a weekday, so I'm not gonna be fussy with them!
