They're getting close!

So I did a bit more of the work on the bedside tables. Assembly is finished. There are some imperfections but that happens when you're making them from scratch. Overall I'm very happy with how they're turning out! Some of the measurements were a little off but I'm making my own modifications. The drawer had about a half inch gap on either side and I didn't like how that looked so I cut the 1x6 a little longer just on the front of the drawer so it looks better closed. I've gotta buy one more 1x6 to do the other drawer but other than that and attaching the handles- assembly is done! I did the wood putty and sanding in the kitchen on a mat on the floor since it's so hot outside. Sadly I think we're going to postpone the bed project until the fall so we don't melt in the process. Tomorrow is the neighborhood block party so I'll see if I can start on the staining sometime this week!

Here are some pictures!

Love the handprint on the butt...
