OK, so I was very excited about this project, and still am, but I just hit a little bump in the road.
Can you tell what this carcass is? It is all the pieces to an old whiskey barrel. I am making a coffee table. I found the perfect wood top that I painted with a faux finish and was very happy with how it turned out.
Then I was cleaning the inside of the barrel and sealing it when WHAM!... this happened. The support rings came loose and then all the slats caved in on themselves. Man I hate when that happens! It was like a domino effect in slow motion. I wish someone captured it on video because my reaction would have been priceless. I was like "Noooooooooo!!!!"....and was diving to catch them all before they fell. Classic Oopsy Daisy.
I was so close to being finished. It is impossible to get it back together by myself, I figured this out after many tries $%@&!!!! So I guess I need to enlist the help of my hubby to put it all back together. I now know how Humpty Dumpty feels.
Stay tuned for the completed project. I think it will be very cool and worth all the hiccups.
Happy Monday in the Making,
~MB
