Im not sure if I can call him a customer, he asked me to make him a shelf for his legos, he wanted it next to his desk.
My nephew, married a woman, who from a previous marriage, has 2 sons.
My nephew and bride, just had a baby girl, and that's my grand niece.
Im not sure how to refer to Jay(the older brother is in college), the newborns younger brother, hes really not my nephew(or is he through marriage?), but I told him for now on, he is my nephew, and he should call me uncle.
I think its confusing to him, but he wanted a lego shelf and I was more than happy to oblige.
Cherry frame, 1/4 cherry ply for panels, and I got a good deal on a sheet of maple ply for the inside.
Stained with Minwax Cherry, 2 coats, one week cure, then sprayed with em6000 target satin.2 doors on bottom, 1/2 inch overhang cup hinges.
simple build, its just getting harder and harder for me to move units like this around by myself.
and this morning, like an idiot, I helped my nephew,(hes as strong as an ox, hes in law enforcement), even though he did most of the lifting, they live on the third floor walk up, narrow staircase, and someone as fat, old, crippled as me shouldn't be moving bookcases up 3 flights of stairs, plus the half flight up the driveway stairs.
Last time Im moving anything for anyone, today I made up my mind.
heres my new nephew filling up his unit.
I made him that red biplane a few weeks back out of scrap pine, I painted it some, he did the rest.
