« 100 post milestone! | Main | Darrell Peart's new Greene & Greene book arrives!! »
Slow progress on the band saw box. I had to work last weekend and did not make it down to the workshop again.
Early this week I did finish the sanding on the band saw box, and I applied the first coat of Waterlox finish. Probably 3 more coats, the flocking in the drawers, and it will be done.
