Wendy's Train TableClick here to learn more about building with the train table plans . . .
Hi! I wanted to send you a picture of our train table! I like to build things, but they are usually things like TV stands or office desks that are already cut & colored - all I would have to do is assemble it. This was my first big project that I actually had to go to Home Depot's Home Center for!
We live in an apartment, so we didn't have a garage or the like to do construction work, yet I was able to do much of it in our living room. (I did sand and stain it out on our porch.) The plans were great- I messed up once or twice because I got ahead of them, but it was easy to go back and do it the right way. When I was finished building the frame I was so proud! I stained it pecan to match our son's bedroom furniture. I have decided I don't like stain very much. Where I covered the screws with putty, the stain is splotchy. (Even though the putty said it was stainable.) I am going to eventually cover those splotches with decals or something. I painted the top freehand with acrylic paints then sealed it. Overall, I am so very happy I chose to do this project! I like this so much more! I don't know how long it took me to build/stain/paint it because I did a little on this day and a little on that day... We have a 2-1/2 and a 3-1/2 year old running around here! The trains will come for Christmas, so for the time being we are playing with safari animals, matchbox cars, etc on it, and enjoying every minute of it! Thank you so much for making these plans available! It is so very sturdy - we will be enjoying it for a long time to come! Wendy
