Saturday Dec 6th


After a holiday for thanksgiving we are taklign some of the outstandng large issues. There is a large crack near the top at the back - hopefully we can fix that on tuesday. Today i :

1 Gave the third and final steel wool and oil coat to Drawer #2
2 Removed the lid of the box
3 glued in the guide rails for Drawer #3
4 Sanded the box lid from 250 to 400. I decided to leave some of the imperfaections in the lid and not take it to perfection. I think it still looks really good though oiled, but especially on the inside there are some wired marks of planing tear out or careless early sanding.
5 Oiled the Box lid - Coat # 1
6 Buit a mock-up of the dividers for the top compartment.
7 collected sanings to make a wood colored filler for the corners.

I would estimate that there is about 9 more days left of work on the box. With the move and a possible intensity increase at work this might not be possible before christmas.
9 days:
Day 1 fill all craks on the corners
Day 2 dimension wood dividers for top
day 3 sand the carcass to 400 grit sand. Oil carcas #1 Oil drawer # 3 Oil#1
Day 4 Oil carcas # 2, oil drawer #2. Install blue velvet in drawers 1 and 2
day 5 oil carcas #3, Oil Drawer3 #3.
day 6 install blue velvet at drawer 3 and top
3 days of slop since everyting takes longer then I think.

Left out of this schedule - make sure drawer 3 closes nicely. Oil 2 and 3 for lid. design and carve, install pull levers.

Today is the 6 - 9 continuous days would take us to the 15th. 9 every other days woudl take us to the 24th. We will see...
