<p>Besides, it's nice to have a minimalistic Angular2/Bootstrap playground to do some styling experiments. I'll
probably update
this thing once in a while. Maybe even use a database, wouldn't <em>that</em> be something...</p>

<p>We've just completed a refurbishing effort in order to breathe some extra life into our IKEA garden chairs and
tables. As we had two of each set, it was the perfect opportunity to remedy one of the faults of the table: its size.
A loose napkin-calculation later and we have a Siamese IKEA table.</p>

<p>The old wood was living its final days, as cracks appeared and planks started twisting. Some had broken
completely, leaving some chairs unusable. However, the metal underpinnings are still in reasonable shape. Surprisingly
enough, IKEA made everything pretty water resistant.</p>
<p>Doing the refurbish was simple enough. Remove the planks and look for new wood that could be cut
into dimensions that resemble the old planks. The closest I could find was 16mm thick impregnated RNG, which is
slightly thicker than the original ones, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Already weather resistant, it provides
a nice basis for further refinement.</p>

<p>After having the rough cuts, I sanded everything down with 40 and 80 grit respectively. Never having worked with this
type of wood for more detailed things, it was surprisingly nice to handle. Then a coat of Osmo oil to
leave the wood in its final state, ready to be screwed onto the metal underpinnings (using euroscrews, the fat and
short ones). The final result is rather pleasing: we could recover the furniture and refurbish it for a relatively
minor sum of money, hopefully it'll last us another couple of years!</p>
