[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Saturday success

Hi Ericka, ah, the sanding and staining and putting a finish top coat of varnish or Shellac was the fun part of wood working.
So, what is next for you, Chad and Josh, refinishing a car from pulling out the dents, filling in the scratches, putting on the primer coat, the paint, the finish coat for the shine?
Yes, I've done all of the above.

Yep, a beautiful Black & Decker Wunder! I did some hand sanding here and there, but most of it has been sad. When I’ll get to the picnic table to sand and repaint who knows. The only thing about woodworking I don’t really like is the staining process. Stinky!

While it’s not a technical craft project, we did with the help of a cited friend build this deck a couple of years ago and now it is ready to get its last layer of love. It’s 90% or more sanded. We tag teamed it. As soon as Chad‘s friend Josh came over I took over. Body hurts, but I’m glad that it’s almost done. We’ll see if the weather holds up so we can get it stained soon or not.
