This entry isn't about computers, or Inklog, or software, or even technology. In fact, it's as far from being about those things as possible.

Jess and I have decided that we should build our own dining room table. We were out looking at furniture and the stuff we saw that we really liked, I kept saying to myself, "I can make that." So, we decided to do just that.

We decided on a rustic, eclectic looking picnic table style, with benches for seating. We bought the wood, stain, and materials last night at about 1/7th of the price we would have paid for it in the store. And our version is much chunkier and more rustic looking than the one we saw, which I prefer. My dad and I are going to build it in his garage today.

Wish us luck. I'll post pictures when it's done.

I'm still convinced I can build a sofa, too. If I can just learn how to sew. We'll see what I think of that after we finish this.
