Dressing Table WIP sort of

[Scottdimelow]

I say sort of as there isn't much left to do lol.

I intended to build this totally using loose tenon joinery, however as usual I left it to the last minute. It's a birthday present for my girlfriend, which is a week today!!

In the end I thought I'd just try pocket holes, as I've had a cheapo jig for a while, and they're quick. I'm really surprised at the strength of them. They're a bit tricky when joining two rails to one post, but I managed it.

I just have to make the drawer, and polished concrete top. Then paint, bright pink

Well here is the completed article, my girlfriend loves it so it's a winner.

I had to remake the top as I bloody broke the first attempt! Oh well, live and learn.

That turned out well. How on earth did you make the top? It looks like a piece of marble.

Cheers, that's what I was going for

Here is a video, they just don't show the final step which is to fill the voids with unsanded grout. Simple but effective.
