Nice work you did!!
I'm planning to build the furniture for the tiny house in the Portuguese property. I know it won't be perfect but I want the place to keep its "rural" style and although I know I'll make mistakes, i'll save me some money plus it will be fun!
Thanks man, it came out really well. I was afraid the brushstrokes would show but the do not, probably mainly due to the pain curing process, although I applied it so I'll take some small degree of credit. :)
I think you're on a winner with your plan and it'll feel pretty bloody good when you are using it and know that you made it yourself. I'd probably look for things I could repurpose if it was me, stuff that needs fixing or rejuvenation, but making it is a great option to.
