@rain... Well it is when it's that hardcore cement paint that gets you stoned and take 24 hours to dry then several months to fully cure. ;-)
and I did consider it for a couple minutes... then realized it was a very bad idea.
Anyway... both desks are now built. They look like crap but they are square and sturdy. A little too tall for keyboard playing though but I have another folding table (resin and prefabbed) I bought that's lower to the ground so that'll go on the 90 degree axis and the taller one I just finished will go in it's place and be my workbench.
Almost there. So sleepy.
