i've got a thing for old speakers. i repaired a set last month and they sound great now. a couple weeks ago i went to look at a pair and the guy had not one, but 2 sets. so i bought them both. i want to try and fix them, and then i want to try my hand at selling a pair or two of what i've got on ebay. as we were loading them in my car we were talking about why he was getting rid of them and it turns out he was having a garage sale the next day because he was moving. he started pointing out things he was getting rid of and he had this really classic looking solid oak student desk. it was pretty rough, but the price was right. the top had one crack that ran the entire length of the top. i glued that back together and clamped it on saturday and i now seem to have one solid desktop instead of two pieces. sunday i applied the filler. i'd wanted to sand it and start the staining process but life interrupted. i'll hopefully start that after work this week. it'll still be kinda rough. you can't do much with the nicks and gouges from the chairs and years. but hopefully i'll be able to get a nice, solid finish on it and have a good piece of furniture.

By the looks of the shoes, someone played golf as well...
I want a desk like that....I'm very jealous!
jl4... nothing so glamorous as golf. those are my new running shoes for p.t. i was just wearing them around to try and break them in.
pw. don't be jealous yet, there's still plenty of potential for me to screw it up!
I'm sure you won't mess it up.
