Woodworking

Getting a "perfect" finish is a pain in the butt and annoying and frustrating and infuriating and stupidly satisfying when you do get it...

Now out of this project I have 1 out of 7 parts in a finish I like done...and 1 more at about 80% done...

Wife: "Why...no one is going to grope the thing and be like 'oh what a nice finish or care' - just put it together and be done"

What does one consider wood working projects ;-)

This is my only /wood working/ project... all the others are in conjunction with a "house" project.

Like she didn't want me working on this lectern until I finished up the cabinet thing she wanted in the bedroom... and I did, even with the "oh we should add shelves between the cabinets" and "oh we should put a door or something to cover one shelf so I don't see wires" - THEN I started doing the finishing on the lectern and stuff.. and now she is like "I want a bench that is storage on the side of the cabinet that matches the wood shelf and top"

So she considers it "not done" - you cannot ADD an entire "thing" and consider the first THING(s) not not done...

I have heard the legends - but have avoided the fate thus far…

Finish was not what I wanted… just not…
