Project Table: Day 2

In an effort to be transparent through this process, and to share with you the craziness that is me brainstorming/second-guessing/creating/etc., here are a few things/thoughts/questions that came to me in the last 12 hours:

Musings

• Will one big table, made of 2 doors, be too big?
• Should I instead, make 2 smaller tables?
• We could leave 1 out all the time, and store the other one, then when the need arises, bring them both out and put them side by side...
• Will the glass be too expensive?
• Will the glass be too hard to procure?
• How will we get it home?
• Ordering two smaller pieces of glass would be easier to transport, potentially less expensive, and allow for the flexibility of having 2 tables at a time, or just 1 table at a time...
• Should I strip all the paint of both doors, or just keep chipping away at it for a bit longer?
• If I just chip away at it, and don't get it all off, is that ok to paint over?
• Geez, these are ugly paint colors that these people picked back in the day...why do you paint the hardware onto the door?
• Are old doorknobs worth anything?
• What color should this be in the end?
• Is this really worth the time and effort just for the "unique and handmade" factor?
• Do I have all of the necessary tools/skills/etc. to complete this?
• Just how much can you do with a circular saw?
• I wish I had a table saw...
• I wish we had a garage....
• Am I making too much noise for the neighbors?
• Do the neighbors think I'm: insane? and idiot? weird? Who cares?
• Will one table be too narrow?
• Will the narrowness cause people to knock knees? Unavoidably play footsie? Never want to have dinner with us again?
• Will people need to sign a liability waiver before they dine with us?
• Will the legs support the weight?
• If I do two tables, is there a cool hook/clip/clamp I could install under the seam so that they can lock together?
• Is the aforementioned idea too much work?
• Am I now, or at some point during this project will I be, breathing in anything toxic?

More craziness to come, I'm sure. Stay tuned...
