"Love" that magnificent contrasting timber for the base (in the finished product)... you had to put on your Philistine baseball capbackwards and blame the Domino!
At least the project was saved by the nice top and you learning to take pictures.
Next time when SWMBO demands paint, give her the gun (preferably the paint) and sit back with your favourite, heavy with alcohol, drink and watch the spray emanating from the gun (or her mouth).
Good to see you post a project instead of just partying... proving you are using the new Fe$tools.... oops, the vac sucks not blows.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
