What projects are you tackling at the moment?

I'd be interested to hear about what everyone is up to at the moment. Are you planning a project and spending some time in the shed, or perhaps you've just completed a project that you're particularly proud of? It would be great to hear what everyone is working on.

 

Post an image below and add some details to inspire others.

It looks great. How did you get the pallets (I assume they are/were) to have that awesome grey/white finish?

Hi @TedBear,

 

Thanks for your kind words. I whitewashed the pallets with a 50/50 mix of acrylic paint and water. I then gave them a rough sanding with 120grit sandpaper to reveal some of the timber again.

 

A similar technique, but with three colours, was used on this coffee table I built a while back.
