Day 1195 Tight spaces

18th November 2020

There is nothing more annoying than finish staining a top only to see a watermark appear.

I know one was there, but I thought it had sanded out. I usually apply oxalic acid to a surface when there is a mark that I can’t remove by any other method, but this time i should have done it anyway, bloody annoying.

It was the day for staining, I did the top and drawer fronts for a dresser that we had for a while, at least that went well.

I fitted the knobs to the quirky dresser to finish that one, Kelli sent a picture off to the person who wanted it, and she was delighted, so this will be collected at the weekend.

I was disappointed that there was no Stein night, this had become our regular night out and one that I started to look forward from Thursday morning.

I have been seeing pictures from the HM Refurbished London showroom, most of which show a lot of the Hay products. I’m not sure how I feel about that. I know the working office has changed a lot, but now everywhere will look like a DFS warehouse.

I’m impressed with the products that Bisley have launched to support home working, I’m not sure if it will be profitable unless companies stump up the cost of them for their employees.

Homes in the UK are usually tight for space, which has alway been the problem when scaling down office furniture. Even a chair that doesn’t seem so big in an open office, is enormous when you try to carry it up the stairs.

In the US most homes have more space than they know what to do with, except us, who have a relatively compact house, I want to make a home office piece to fit our place,it is on my list to make, once I clear the one thousand and one jobs already on it.
