The End of a Nightmare

What?!! I am so not being overly dramatic in my title. It really was a nightmare. But I finally got my entertainment center sanded. These are my two new rules for sanding. First, don't just use the sandpaper that came with your sander. Go out and buy stripping sandpaper ... like 10 pakages of it. It works about 3 times faster than the stuff that came with your sander. Second, surfaces that face up are easy to sand surfaces that face down are hard to sand, but if you turn your entertainment center on its side or its top everything becomes a surface that faces up. And yes I only learned these rules 4 days ago when I was almost finished.

Anyway, here is the finished product. And by finished I mean just the sanding and I still have to stain and finish it.



Oh, and just in case you forgot what it looked liked originally, I stood up a cupboard door in front to remind you. Ok, fine I'm not done sanding yet, but I got the big part done. Come on!
