Thread: Blackwood Table for my Son

All done!

Actually...not quite done. The coat of WOP I applied 24 hours before was STILL tacky. I don't understand this because the test coat I applied on a misty/drizzly day up here was touch dry within 2 hours. And yet in significantly warmer Sydney weather it's not dry in 24.

As a result it has attracted a layer of dust and a couple of handprints from manhandling it into the lift, and of course I couldn't apply the second coat of WOP. Beats me. Hafta go back in a week or so.

And as a result the table smelt like a cricket bat from the Linseed Oil.

Apparently the smell of LO can bring on labour, or so it seems - DIL had a little girl this morning! The labour started about 4 hours after the table arrived, so that sounds like proof of the theory to me.

Congratulations

You should've told me that a coupe of weeks ago, Brett - my DIL finally sprogged, two weeks late, last week! The little tyke really didn't want to leave the nest, and caused a bit of trouble, but according to son, she's now doing fine on an ample diet of single-source, fair trade, organic, free-range tucker. At least I know what to tell them if the next one's tardy.....

Cheers,

Cheers,

Congratulations Brett. Surely you’re now going to make something for your granddaughter?

Thanks mate. I suspect she can roll around looking cute for a couple of years before that will be necessary.

Congratulations Brett and family

The table and birth deliveries are now inextricably linked?

So does that make this gift a "Change table?"

Congratulations appear to be in order all around .

In fact the table and the baby are of identical age...

I think I'm going to be "Pappy".

Pappy Brett, WOW!
Now you'll have to become a Toymaker sir , making some beautiful hand made wooden toys for girls including some trucks too!
Well done on the table and the granddaughter Brett.
Cheers Peter
