Weekend projects?

Just curious what everyone has been doing (when not enjoying their CB) during their summer weekends. This last weekend was a bit rainy in Minnesota, so I tackled a project I have been considering.

For starters, my wife spotted this small cable spool on the side of the road, following some construction in our area. It's the perfect height for a porch table.


I started with a "dust coat" of black spray paint, followed by the palm sander until it looked properly "aged."



Next up was masking off a portion of the table for a blue field with a few stars.




Well, with that done, the next logical step is to add a few stripes.



Moved it out into the sun for the first application of urethane to seal it all in.


I will apply a few thicker coats of urethane until the top is smooth and uniform. I still have plans for the middle and base so the whole thing has a finished look. I'm pretty pleased with the outcome so far.

So, who else has some projects going on, not necessarily motorcycle related that they want to share?
