OK, after the painfully long winter it finally looks as though warmer weather is headed my way. I'm going to have a long weekend coming up in April where I will hopefully be able to make some progress. I've been a bit discouraged lately since the colossal failure of a CP box mocks me every time I'm in my workshop.
Next up:
Next up:
- Re-cut all 5 pieces for the CP box and do a dry fit
- Stain all of the pieces for the CP box FIRST
- Glue it up
- Seal/finish with poly
- Cut out panels for front door and kickplate
- Make keyboard drawer
I also want to stain the actual cabinet (I better not screw it up) but I'm not sure how to go about it. I'm thinking about laying the cabinet flat and doing one side at a time. I would have the most control over the staining process if I did that and I wouldn't have to worry about runs. I should be able to apply a nice even stain. The only problem is that eventually I'll have to stain the interior and the cabinet will have to be upright for that. This way will also take a few days per side instead of doing it all in one day. Oh well - no need to rush...
