Ok so a month ago I asked if anyone had spare bands, I was working on a few projects using bands, the first one is done.

I took an old end table which needed to be refinshed, sanded it down layered it with bands, first attempt, not too bad... I learned a few things, my next project will be better hopefully.

Pics, since we know thats why you clicked on this.









DANG, the new editor is not working with image shack?

Wow, that is cool. Now do you top this with glass or use that technique I have seen in bars where it as if there is 1/8in of polyurethane covering the items?

That is exactly what I did, I did the "bar top" method however after I had begun applying coats, I was linked to a clear coat professional bar top finish, which I will be using on project two.

In total there is 5 coats of finish applied, let it dry 24-48 hrs between coats.

Stay tuned for project two.

I think it will turn out better since this was a trial run and came out pretty decent, I learned a few things... to do differently.

AND THANKS TO ALL who donated me some bands, I know several of you did, thank you!

That is nice.  I think I see some of the bands that I donated.

I've restarted my band collection.  Give me six to eight months and I should have another bag full.

If you wish to donate more, I will take them!

Many thanks again for donating.

I have a few more things I am doing with them so you should see more of yours appear soon.

I think the bands need to be going in different directions. To much horizontal flow. It will probably take more bands.

But, I dig it. I've got a cup of bands I'm saving for something like this.
