Little table







In all our stress I managed to make a little table this evening and I painted it and I finished the cabinet too, But the handles keep coming off!
What kind of glue should I use to attach aluminium to wood?
I lined the drawers and the bottom shelf with scrapbook paper and I think it has a cosier look that way!
I enjoyed making it and it relaxes me.
But my eyes are getting worse, I think I will buy a magnifiing lamp,(Help, how do you spell this?)

Have you tried Sobo glue?

What kind of glue is that?
The brands in Europe are different I think!
I will look for SOBO, Thanks:)

I've had good luck with regular carpenters glue, the heavy duty offwhite stuff. Otherwise a little spot of superglue when the other stuff just wont work.

Umm.. Sobo is a thick, white glue that is sold in craft shops in Britain, Canada, and the US. I am not sure what other brands are equivalent. I hope this helps.

You can also use a drop of thick white glue and a bit of superglue in combination. Do not use too much as it dries very quickly and will not wipe off if any leaks out from between the pieces you are gluing.

Hoi,

Ik gebruik Tacky Glue of houtlijm.
Een druppeltje secondenlijm voor kwetsbare dingen erbij, wil ik dan ook nog wel eens doen.
Maar je kastje en tafeltje zijn wel erg leuk, toch wel prettig om eens wat moois te zien na die ellende van je vloer.

groetjes Sylvia

I use Super Attack. It is cianoacrilate, dries very quickly and very fast. It glues most materials, I'd say it glues everything. The cabinet is very cute and you are right, a bit of paper inside the drawers and on the shelves makes the difference. Mini hugs

Thank you all!

Cute table. The stress will pass--and then there will be other sources of stress! LOL! Good luck with it all.

I use either wood glue or tacky glue for everything but I'm not any sort of expert.

Hi,thanks for the nice comment from you on my blog. I'm actually self taught.
Am thinking of making some patterns/kits available so will let you know, but be warned the miniatures are addictive!!!
