with the cutting of the parts for the bedside table drawers, there was enough left over for the first eight (hoping for more after cutting the drawers) dollar bill flippers.

with the drawers finished, i found that there was enough left over plywood to make parts for another six dollar bill flippers, for a total of 14.

gave all of them a quick hit with 220 grit, then hooked up the sprayer, and both sides got the shellac. stood them up on edge after the backs were sprayed, and did some touch up on the edges. assembly tomorrow.

went back to them this morning, and found that the dry side had adhered themselves to the top of the table. when removing them, they lifted a bit of the vinyl top. needless to say, bad words were said. hit the bad spots with some 220 grit, and a touch up coat of shellac. later on, started assembling them, and got all 14 done without any mishaps.
