--- layout: post title: Good Weekend date: 2002-08-05 tags: ["General"] --- It was a good weekend. I got to go to [Lowe's](http://www.lowes.com/), twice even. Elizabeth has wanted a new desk for a long time now. Several months back we settled on a design (or at least a shape for the top). That was done maybe three weeks ago but we were having difficulty in designing the legs. Elizabeth finally decided on building a set of small shelves to be the "legs" of the desk. So we went to Lowe's on Saturday to get the materials. So Saturday I built the units, and finished them on Sunday. Of course it required another trip to Lowe's to get a palm sander ([Dewalt](http://www.dewault.com) [DW411K](http://www.dewalt.com/us/products/tool_detail.asp?productID=120) 1/4 sheet sander, to be exact) since I was really sick of hand sanding all of the parts. So it needs a little more sanding, and then Elizabeth gets to polyurethane it.
