You know when you have deadlines, no 15 day grace periods, no window, options?
The rush of completing commissioned work without compromising the quality, can
mentally drain the brain! (ex-neigh in the brain-neigh ). In the past two days I have been
working non stop. I finished the rabbit, and a table that I refinished for a good customer.
The table is what drained me, I had to strip away layers of gawdy, mustard yellow paint, off a once
beautiful table. You'll be happy to know it is once again a beautiful table. The reason I'm drainded
is because the customer called on Monday saying she would pick it up on Saturday...it's my own
fault though. I once again procrastinated! Another lesson, one I battle with quite often. I woke up
this morning and told myself, "you will have this table finished by 3:30 pm. ". I was off by 30 minutes!
It was time to eat!
And then, I sat down and the adrenalin rush was over.
I stared into
SPACE!
That blank lifeless stare. It lasted a good 15 minutes before I came back.
And by the way, buffing the table by hand with paste wax...is good for "Buff" arms!
Now I'm going to put some life into that blank empty blank stare.

Ah, so you're a refinisher too? I love it! Actually I've gotten to the point where it is only worth it to do my own furniture. I strongly dislike the stripping part, especially since I am not set up to strip on a profesh level. It's all down hill after the stripping though, right? Can't wait to see what you do next!
