The best laid plans
Day 91

Ha, I am bored with flowers.
I am sure I will be over that particular boredom by tomorrow.

I am building a headboard and this is the final joining, done this morning.
(I am comfortably woozy right now from the first coat of polyurethane, teehee.)

I had it all laid out on paper first, then just to be anal I marked it out in tape: http://www.pbase.com/image/32235935
A few cuts, bisquits, glue, sanding, and...voila!
It only wobbles a little...

Thanks for your Monarch, jypsee! It did land here after I asked if I could borrow it: http://www.pbase.com/image/32235934
Do you need it back?
Maybe next time you could send one that is in better focus, all right?

Hmm. I should varnish things more often...

I am so impressed, is there anything you can't do? Be sure to let us see the finished product.

You are TOO MUCH!! what a clever person...I could never do something like you did; but I did give myself a terrible allergic reaction to polyurethane... I had no idea it was so toxic!! That ol' Monarch sure does get around....pretty funny!!

Oh, I need a headboard! Ready to make another one for hire? :-)
