The tables are ready

Ha!
Finally after months and months and a bunch of promises, the tables are ready.
The initial plan was dad would make them but due to certain circumstances and loads of work, I had to make them myself.

I designed them, and together with dad cut the wood.
And then the difficult part: assembling them.

Now in general assembling is easy (certainly with ikea furniture), but due to my stubbornness I don't want visible screws, nor simple corners.
Which turns assembling in a stressful and careful event.
But I am certainly proud to say I did it.
And OK, there are minor details I (and probably c.) notice, but all in all I am pretty proud about myself.

It is really awful to say that all the work took only 3 days, and I delayed it with 6 months, afraid I wouldn't be capable of doing it myself (and now, because I had to do it, I noticed that I ain't such a bad carpenter after all :) )

So, if I hurry up, paint them, we're almost ready for that poker night :)))

Pictures you ask??
Here they are.

(There are 2 tables, the computer table has a built in structure to hide cables. The diner table doesn't.)
