Thorsen Side Table Contest #5: UGH! Haste makes ugly marks on the top of my contest entry.

Well you can never to too sure of where your fastenings are going.

I had some telephone installers working for me and they were installing a phone line. They used a long drill bit and when they pulled it out, it had something yellow in the drill bit. They tasted it, It was butter.

They drilled through the wall, through the refrigerator and into the butter dish.

Maybe time for some decorative pegs in the table top.

OOH! the Pain
Try adding some contrasting plugs like Karson suggested. The holes look properly line up for design.

sorry Dick – I’ve been there to & share your pain. The first table I ever built had a Black Walnut top that I screwed down tight all around the aprons, not allowing for any movement – when the humidity changed in my home later that year – ugh!...lets just say I could have made compound bows out of the thing…it happens to us all…

I would have cried—and yes I know there are no tears allowed in the shop. I would have dragged the table up to the woodpile and cried there! lol

butter.. oh my.. that would be a “do I laugh or cry” moment.
