I finished construction of the hallway table that I've been working on. Now I have to finish sanding and staining it. The difference in quality is amazing when you have the correct tools for the job. It took me 4 days (coming home after work) to build it and the result is quite impressive, at least to me. The thing with woodworking is that you don't build your own furniture to save time. It is at times a painfully slow process. Waiting for glue to dry, accurately measuring that "last cut", properly sanding and finishing. It's a good hobby for me because it makes me plan carefully and take my time, two things that I don't always do. Not only that, but the furniture I build by hand is customized for my house, and everyday I see it reminds me of when I was in the garage building (and waiting for) it.
