An aluminium door frame fell on me, missing my head by inches and has left a massive bruise on my back
Oh dear. I hope it's not too bad.
Will see in the morning how it is as it hit two places on my back. Surprised the one place isn't hurting. The other is a big fat purple lump lol
Oh how awful! So I guess a separate bathroom is on your bucket list now?

So far, my shoulder blade is good - not even hurting but my mom says there's a slight bruise on it...
Sanding down and restoring this old table of mine with my homemade beeswax polish
Will post after pic later

Nice table @RainstormZA
Perfect vape station!

Haha yes it is my vape station. Used to house my fish tanks...
Thanks, going to look awesome as my parents and I have moved away from varnish on stabilised wood furniture - someone did a kak job of it before I got it. Layers of varnish in certain places
WOW! Viva la difference! And you even make your own beeswax polish - crikey!!
Absolutely stunning, maybe all of us must rethink that piece of furniture that we discard so easily. Look at the gem that was hidden.
@Hooked lol I'm buggered now - took four hours to sand it properly on the top.
I had quite a lot of beeswax left lying around from Australia - so decided that it would be worthawhile to make natural furniture polish.
@Room Fogger, I agree. This may be a crappy pine table but a little TLC goes a long way.

@RainstormZA Did you live in Australia before, then?
Do you do chalk-painting? I've been on two courses but still haven't got around to painting anything lol. The effects that one can create are quite fascinating though
No, my parents went to Australia to visit my sister, her husband and their 2 year boy. My mom found beeswax there and divided it between my sister and me.
Never heard of chalk painting. Time to hit Google lol

Thats fantastic @RainstormZA
Well done, the table looks great
Must be a great feeling to restore something like that
Enjoy using it!

Thanks. It's kinda a hobby. I love antiquities - I'm forever restoring something to its former glory.
My next quest is to create a steampunk table lamp with a switch. Copper pipes and a wood base.
@RainstormZA It's got nothing to do with blackboards though. I don't know why it's called chalk paint. It can be used on any surface except glass and it can't be used for anything outside. The surface does NOT need to be sanded or primed first - you just start painting - big advantage! An example of what you can do is to paint something to look as if it's old - it's called the distressed look lol. There are also various effects which can be created with chalk paint wax.
You can even paint fabric, but apparently it does go hard. I want to paint an old footstool I have, so that when my little boy-dog marks his territory i can just wipe it off!!
Have a look at this site to see what effects can be created.
If it's possible try to attend a chalk-paint workshop. The first one that I went to, I thought, OK, so I'm going to learn how to slap on a bit of paint today. I came out of there with my head spinning with creativity - which by now has spun right into the whirlwind of life, I'm afraid.
@RainstormZA I've just seen your post on how you love restoring things. What you could do with chalk-paint, if you know the technique in order to create different effects, will just blow you away!!
Yes I like what one would call vintage / steampunk. Vintage is very easy to create. You've given me some ideas for that table now. Will see what paints are available in the workshop and work with that.
I will also have to sand down the legs first...
