August 21.

Having experienced difficulty finding the proper gloves to use with an acetone/lacquer thinner mixture, I finally acquired a pair of butyl rubber gloves and was able to more or less finish stripping the T7-5.

I'm wondering if I may need some wood bleach for its shoulders. The old black paint really stained the shoulders.

I'll need to do some extensive repairs to this cabinet. Summer is quickly slipping away. I'm wondering if I'll get this one done this season, or if it will have to wait until 2019 to be refinished.
