Dang it! Door open! (I forgot last time, well duh!)
Bottom half is upside down. Top half is right side up. I cut the skirt and built the door attatched at the top and bottom to the skirt.
I like it! The rusty iron pieces on the front are from industrial ladder parts.

Okay love this too. Question--what makes it so difficult--I mean I am sure the round is a challenge, but is this something I want to attempt??

Sure you can try it, why not? Nothing ventured, nothing learned! I learn something new with each piece I build.
Square and straight is just a lot easier for me.

Having the 'apron' on the top and bottom of the tabletop, sure helped to have something to nail it to besides the middle shelf, didn't it? Good job!
