I cant get a picture of how well the hints given to me how to cover the crack worked out(thanx larry, in all seriousness, larry isnt just another pretty face around here, the man knows his wood, and don, he probably forgot more than I know). I just cant hold the camera steady enough for close up.
I did finish the unit without the hinges or knobs(I will attempt to spin knobs when I get my chuck, so that will have to wait a couple of weeks)(I chipped out all the famowood, great product, not for this though, and chipped a square hole and filled it in with similar grain lumber chip oversized then sanded down smooth. )
Im so mad at myself for damaging the top most of all, I absolutely loved the aged mahogany top I put on this cabinet, and sanding out that scratch hurt me every second.(I still have to give the top a 400 grit light sand and rub another coat or two, but the cabinet is rubbed and finished)Theres zero space in the garage to keep the unit, Im in the middle of ripping out cabinets for space.
I will spend the next 2 days building a lathe stand/table. I ripped out one cabinet last night to make room, estimating how much Id need with the bed extension, and when I yanked a plywood wall off the other wall, it flung against me, and a 2.5 inch brad buried itself right above my ankle about an inch deep. Hurt like hec. I called the doctor a bit ago but since Ive had a shot within the past few years, he says Im fine. I have enough health problems. It was funky trying to yank the brad out of my leg with the plywood attached, I had to give it a good pull.
