My mind is so fried right now. It's 1 AM and I'm trying to write something clever about Jim and Annie's wedding but I can't. It's not because it wasn't a great wedding. The wedding was a blast. I saw so many old friends that I didn't plan on seeing, and it really just felt like high school all over again (which was kinda weird too).
All I've been able to muster so far regarding the wedding is a short little blog about Chris' nipple.
But while I mull over the topic of weddings and relationships, here's something I've been working on for a couple days. I had this design idea in my head so I went to Home Depot, picked up these pieces, http://www.flickr.com/photos/jin411/191521807/, for about $30, and put it together to make this pool cue rack to go along with my pool table.
I didn't realize starting from scratch was so much work. There were a lot of screws, drilling, trim moulding, stain, sanding, and finish work to do. The first set of wood cost me about $30, but in the end everything ended up costing about $65 total.
The reason I did it on my own is because A. pool cue racks at American Games in Bellevue had racks for $599 and up!! and B. I haven't been able to find a design that I liked at all.
So with that said, I present to you my new cue rack. Not the prettiest nor the greatest design, but it works for me. For now.
