Re: Truck based woody
Well I had to pretty much take the summer off. We are still feeling the effects of the recession in the building trades and we got a couple of really nice cabinet jobs and decided we better take on both of them. That, and my daughter got married here two weeks ago and the place needed a lot of work. Now I'm working on the front doors. I am assembling the driver's door on the car. It can't be built flat on the bench because it has a complex shape and there are no plans, patterns or an old door to copy. I have most of the pieces made for both front doors and I figure it will take a week of 'after work' time to complete each one. Nothing real photo-worthy yet, but by the weekend there should be. Thanks for checking in. It feels good to be back at it.
