next project?

[steven c newman]

Just check the Guinea Pigs I sprayed with the Lacquer after the BLO had quit smelling the shop up......so far, so good....
level 1.jpg
Sat this Old No. 3 level over where a better picture could be done....Surface did not "craze" nor bubble. Turned the Cherry body a bit dark, between the BLO and Lacquer...
It didn't bother the beech handle, though..

But Lacquer alone turned some old Rosewood almost black..

Have to remember that one.
Looks like, IF in the morning these three are still ok, I can re-do the Cherry Box. BLO first thing, allow to cure out ( NO smell) and then spray the WATCO clear gloss Lacquer. And allow to dry. til then, no woodworking in the shop,,,dust....

Baring any further troubles with this box.....I think this might be about it for this little "adventure"

Knocked the gloss down a bit, brought the box upstairs for better lighting...

Had the toys laid out...just about filled the lid..
lid s full.jpg
Still have SOME room in the box, though
box is too.jpg
Pile them all into the box for now....need to get some keepers installed..and close the lid..
lid s closed.jpg
Still haven't gotten out to pick up a latch at Menards....
Well, I think that will about do it this LONG thread, I hope everyone enjoyed the show.

Posted this as a Project. Might post more IF I can make a few parts.

Question now is......what project to do next?

Dec.15 I will have the left knee worked on.....won't be much else getting done for a while....Steps may be out of the "equation" for a few weeks...

Good luck with your knee Steven.

Don't never stop Steven. We depend on you are so very needy.

Well, I did get the latch today, and some "Screen Holders" Need to find a Mr. Gumption and install the latch. "Screen Holders"......came with bolts.....needed to have screws instead. Not a biggie, just need to go and buy the right screws. Don't want them too long, else they would come through the lid. Can't have that. Found out a 12" long ruler will not fit inside, unless it sits at the diagonal to the sides. About like this ../....instead of like this... ___ ....oh well.

Nice tool storage Steven. Good luck with the knee, a good scraping to remove the "rust" and some lube should help a lot.
