LOL! I think I am shooting for a new "GO SLOW" record with this one =P

cool! cool!
best advice that I recieved from the members at MAAST was this:

GO SLOW.....

its ok, u go as slow as you need. its so much better if you dont rush things. plus you will love the finished product better once its done and not sit back and be like well i should have done this this way u know? but other than that you are doing a fantastic job. keep the updates and pictures coming they are great

Ahh, one year later and finally getting around to finishing this. I am indeed setting a new record for going slow.

Inside: Cover Stain primer topped with S/W Ultra-White alkyd.




Faceframe assembled and attached. Alder on birch ply. Just bisquits attaching this to the box.




Same for the top with the addition of a hole for the sump. Rounded over the edges with the trusty Bosch router and a 3/8" round-over.




Trimmed out. Tried a little aspen this time on the trim. It's kinda fuzzy when cut but it's forgiving to work with. A couple of doors and about 9 coats of black laquer and it'll be ready to plumb.
