is this good? I’m not sure what you’re saying here...

The most frustrating part of this is that I used wood filler. I wanted to hide the screws and cover up my mistakes. I bought wood filler that said it was stainable. And yet, it wasn’t. So every spot where I covered up the screws stands out, even though I sanded it and sanded it and out multiple coats of stain over them they still remained untouched. I don’t know if I did something wrong or if the box lied about being stainable

Did you use rock hard putty?

I seriously don’t get the Stoops love. If he was truly legit as a head coach he would have gotten one of those blue blood jobs that opened

I don't know... He's in the same position Mullen was and it took forever for Mullen to get an elite job. Both are good but not great coaches that have potential and there just aren't many of those guys around. People talk about the dearth of elite coaches but the same is true for good ones so programs will fight to grab them and keep them. In contrast, there are plenty of mediocre ones running around.

I think Stoops is gonna be able to put together a successful team every few years, but nothing consistent. We should still be cautious about overlooking them.

Still wish he'd gotten the FSU job. Never hated KY until they won a couple of times and became mouthy really quickly.

Now I want them to fail every year out of principle.

It doesnt really matter in your case because the table top boards aren't joined to each other(I dont think), but what he means is the internal grain of the wood. If you look at the end grain in your bottom pic, some make a rainbow curve down, others are more "U" shaped, curvin up. Its good to alternate because wood will bow or cup in the direction of that grain so if you lay it all in the same way they all cup together. But when you alternate they fight each other and stay straight better. Again it doesnt really matter because you screwed each plank to the frame, and I dont think you edge jointed the panels together.

None of the putty is stainable worth a darn I dont care what they say. If using screws, I always counter sink deep enough to cram a dowel on top and then flush cut with a trim saw. Miniwax does make some pre-colored putties in a few of the more common shades that can kind of work and most people wont notice, but as the builder it will always bug you if you know what I mean.

And I agree with whuh, the lap joint in your crossed 2x2s looks great. Keep up the good work.

Reading some of my posts tonight, I apologize if they seem negative. Learned a friend passed away, so it's hard to be my normal jovial self.

Sorry to hear about this, Weezer.


And this is a great example of why we need to give grace and then give more. We never know what other people are dealing with, especially in the holiday season. I’m not always great at it, but this is something I strive to live by.

On this note, merry Christmas ya filthy animals. Y’all are the jolliest bunch of morans this side of the nuthouse.

The box lied, they all do.
I see some others already suggested alternatives. I'm sure any of us would always be happy to pass along anything we learned the hard way, haha. But I think it looks really good and serious extra points to be your 1st.

And to think, I was hoping you kept all your fingers but you've impressed me with how you're starting out. Great job, man. Kinda excited to follow as you become an 'old pro'.
