Welcome!

Hi, I'm Alex. I'm a recent graduate who is desperately looking for work. So in the mean time, I buy and make-over used furniture for some spare cash. Here's my journey.

Project #2: It Continues

Yesterday I went to town on this hunk o' junk of a bench. After getting denied from a few more jobs and going through a few more unsuccessful interviews,  I needed a little power sander therapy.

I stripped that baby down, applied some wood fill and gorilla glue where the wood was splitting:


Don't mind the bricks, they are to help the glue bond to the wood. Once I took the bench down to the bones, I realizes it needed a lot more help than I thought. Good thing I didn't pay $15 for it.

Now that I've:
1. Sanded
2. Applied wood fill & glue
3. Sanded some more

I Can:
1. Prime
2. Paint
3. Apply a clear coat so the paint doesn't stick
