I went to my last introductory woodworking class last night. My stepping stool / plant stand is almost complete. I cut out the reveals to make the legs, trimmed up all the dovetails and then got to work sanding, and filling my lungs with pine dust. Now I just have to sand some more, then sand a bit more, then do some more sanding, and perhaps sand again. Then I have to apply a sealer coat, then sand it again, then tint it, then sand it again, then varnish it, then sand it again, then varnish it again. I expect to be finished sometime in 2008.
In two weeks time the Intermediate Woodworking Course starts, with a field trip to Reno Depot! I almost wet myself with excitement when I heard.
